I liked this game because it made acquiring high end cars feel like an accomplishment. In Forza a Ferrari feels no more special than a VW Golf.

That's so true... the sense of exclusivity and luxury when you got a new one was cool

How do I get this game or where

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

@@thewags4720 I bought a physical copy (back when they were still a thing) on Ebay in 2011. I don't think it is officially sold anywhere. You may still be able to pick off a copy on Ebay or Amazon, though. Please note that the Megapack (which includes many nice cars like the Testarossa) has never been released physically and is therefore "lost". It can only be downloaded from "other sources".

Car classes are based on handling/speed and acceleration. The AI goes better with SUV's, because their strongest point is acceleration, but their cornering is quite poop. But since the AI always corners like poop, SUV's end up being on the front.

[@sirwomble]

FYI sir FR its not a snooker table , its a billiard table no pockets needed and only 3 balls . the idea being you hit your ball trying to score points by hitting the other 2 etc. Hope this helps.

[@razorsz195]

This game was legit ahead of its time, open world like the crew and forza horizon series, imagine this game got remastered!

[@mafjaguar2677]

Personally i prefer if TDU2 got remastered. You could actually walk around your house, it had two islands, and i feel like the game was overall better and had more features.

[@Middcore]

I was hugely into this game when it first came out and looking back I can't really figure out why I stopped playing it, I think it must have been starting college. Then shortly after I came back TDU2 came out and I was hyped. What a kick in the teeth! There were a total of like 3 cars to choose from in the starting class, I "won" a hideous Barbie Pink Mustang I couldn't get rid of or repaint, and NPC's kept calling me on my "phone" over and over browbeating me to go do tasks I wasn't interested in (a preview of coming attractions in other "racing" games sadly... looking at you, Forza Horizon).

[@acenace24]

We need a new Test Drive Unlimited. It just felt like a genuine car collecting experience which Forza Horizon has not duplicated.

[@SIowCow123]

@@E3T7 So is it possible to change the stat to show the actual top speed instead of final gear speed?

[@E3T7]

SIowCow123 I forget if you are able to do it manually, but I think Milli (the author) said something like it you change the number then it will mess up the actual speed when you drive it or something. But I think I may have been applying what I said to the wrong thing so I’d just look at her faq. The FAQ is in the mod area, which is in the description of this video.

Been messing with this off an on for like 2 weeks now....it feels so good to be back!

Its one of the few f-class cars that can do over 180mph

[@Phoenix_SW20]

I came across this mod years ago while searching for Test Drive Unlimited mods. When I heard it had finally released I had to give it a try. It's absolutely brilliant and I can't stop playing it. A few days ago I bought a Chevy Nova in the game and took it to the American Performance shop. You can select a drag racing performance kit that gives the car something like 3000HP and it becomes a ridiculous rocket ship haha.

Probably my 2nd favorite game EVER, after Jet Set Radio future. I first played this on PS2, and after i figured out how to bridge the connection to my laptop to get online, i was sold. Had it on psp also, and spent hours cruising in the CLS55 on xbox 360. This mod is friggin AWESOME.. there are plenty of people still online today! (My name is Sheevus), and also, make sure you use the TDUF database editor included in the download, to make minor tweaks to cars, (switched some porsche sound files, lowered redline on some cars because the audio file didnt rev that high, etc). And definitely enjoy the story mode! Earning cars was definitely a great feeling of accomplishment
