Well I think Test Drive Unlimited is fantastic and opens the door to a lot of possibilities, and a new direction for driving games to go. Like GTA revolutionized a open world game,I feel test drivedoes this again,though purely for driving games. I think it still has one of the largest environments of any game to date, It's got a great online community and is just the funnest racing game to play online at the moment.
I hope like GTA many developers will copy the concept, and develop it further in other areas. This really is something fresh in a pretty polluted genre. That said being a wildly ambitious concept-it shows in some places, there's numerous glitches and small niggling problems here and there, but when the game runs well, few things feel as solid as it does.
Since I wrote this review, a new Burnout has come out using this open world massively online style of game play, called Burnout Paradise, it's taken it all a step further and it really is an incredible game, Theres objectives and crashes you have to do with your friends, someof the stunts can't be completed unless you do them with a friend. It has a very intuitive map system, much like test drives world map view. It really is a step further.
More recently GTA 4 has come out, again pushing the open world game play to further heights, I have yet to play this online but I've read a fair bit about it. What more can I say? It's GTA, the whole of liberty city online, for you and a group of friends to wreak havoc on, One of the greatest parts of the online system has to be the free mode, your dumped in the city with everyone to do what ever you like, there's going to be some great games derived from this complete freedom in GTA 4.
The upcoming midnight club needs a shout about as well, it's very far in the distance at the moment, but it's a whole recreation of LA to the point you would recognize your local shops, with tons of cars and unimaginable customization, and they are trying to get 16 people on a server at any one time in the city. So unlike burnout and test drive with 8 players, you will see a lot more, this is going to be quite a spectacle with everyone's unique tastes, keep a serious eye out for it.
A lot of this is inspired by test drive showing what this generation of technology can do now, we really have hit a new high, and the gaming worlds can only get better and more immersive.
So what do I think overall? Get Some scores here:
