LF Drumming yeah, i was like 7 when it came out, and it really has aged quite well. Although i thought the graphics was photo realistic at the time, they arent in 2017😂still a great game
Before NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, this game was my obsession. Used to play the hell out of this back in 2009! Just dusted off this game a couple of days ago after not being played for ages. Man, this sure does bring back a lot of memories!
I remember hours and hours of exploring the little Hawaiian Island in all those cars that I could't possibly afford, on my Playstation Portable (PSP). Good times indeed. Loved every moment of it.
Dude.. I made it a mission to get the Xbox achievement for literally discovering/driving every single road. And yes... I indeed achieved it with George Lopez, Linkin park and Coldplay on the radio.. always stoned. In fact if I wasn't stoned.. I wouldn't play the game xD xD
This game is special, tdu 2 doesn't have the same feeling as this.. Same as other newer game too.. I hope they reboot this series.. I miss my childhood 😢😢
Ogod, I had such good memories of this game and I thought the graphics were amazing. Coming back destoyed a piece of that memory. Great game though, excited for the sequel!
Not to mention you can actually look down inside the cockpit, and see yourself shifting gears. Now that’s what I call attention to detail. Most games like Forza doesn’t have that
I remember getting this game back in May 2008 as a birthday gift, i would play this game everyday and would dream of being a millionare with lots of houses and cars. I recently started playing this game again and it has aged very well, very ahead of it's time.
First off, I can say that this would be my dream come true. I want to address a comment on this thread. First, they say that Test Drive Unlimited 3 will have a difficult time now since Forza Horizon is out. I want to point out that this is not true. Even with all the modern updated graphics, physics that Forza offers, I still find the original TDU to be mountains more enjoyable x10. The amount of amazingly fun, vast variety of roadways to run on in Hawaii, I could have fun for days and days, and have. It was not only the 1000 miles of everchanging roadways in the mountains of Hawaii that drew my love for the game (among many other people), but also the specific type of multiplayer that TDU used, which is unlike that of any other game. As you drive, you are seamlessly going in and out of servers, so you always are running into new groups of drivers throughout the map, and are not ever limited to the people in your current multiplayer server you have joined. With TDU, you never have to join a new server, as it will simply automatically transfer you to new ones as you drive (to reiterate). This makes for a very fun experience. Want to keep locked into a server with some friends? Well, you can do that. You can lock in your friends, and it will still then allow you and your friends to flow in and out of other servers just the same. It feels truly unlimited, which leads me to suspect that is why the word “unlimited” is used in its title. Onward now, to cover more of in game play. Some people would be drifting on some small quaint roads deep in the mountains, some drag racing in the city, and some parked at a top of a mountain peak overlooking the ocean with a curving road in front of the lot, as others drifted by. It felt alive, truly. Even without todays fancy tech, I felt immersed in gameplay. Many of the roadways were tighter, and had lots of fun ins, out, and cutbacks woven tightly in the hills and mountains, that all the sudden would open up into a vast escape into amazing views. You would often find yourself going down some long little road and find a waterfall, with some random circle or figure 8 (with varied elevation) track in the middle of freaking nowhere, and it would be THE drift spot for you and your friends for a while, or race spot. Unlike Forza, there were so many of these little great places, surrounded by mountains. You felt like you really were in a vast world full of people that just love to drive (and you were). Even if the physics were a bit arcade like, you still could appreciate the good things about it. On Forza Horizon 3, I look sadly upon the map. I get depressed when I think of how much effort they put into this game, and what they made, when us consumers could have had so much more. I do like the beautiful graphics, but it shortly ends there, in boredom, as I reminisce on the past days playing the original TDU….
squishless For me it was the feel of the controls and drivability of the cars. Something about the first one just completely captures me and I just didn't get that with the second one but I don't really know why.
I will be getting this for christmas. I have gotten a PS2 from my grandma because she never used it and just sat collecting dust so I asked her if I could use it and she let me have it for free. So she sent me the counsel, two controllers, two exertion cords, and what PSP and PS2 games she had, along with two PS2 orginal memory cards. So then I decided hey let's do some searching for different racing games that were for the PS2 and PS1 so I have come accross and bought Midnight Club Dub Edition Remix, Grand Turismo 4, and Need For Speed Pro Street. All three Games have been really fun. Now I found this one through Amazon and fell in love with it through reviews and what the game was about. Now since I have decided to look at videos on this game I am getting even more excited to play it after Christmas is over.
i used to play it over and over on my psp, yet never finished it because i didnt have a memory card. i didnt know it was on pc, im getting it as soon as i can. Memories
this must be a hell of fun on PS2. I remember just playing this entire days on the PSP and even thought the PSP versión is not the best of the game. Enjoy mate, also Grand Turismo 4 is another very good game of PS2.
GTA San Andreas came out in 2004 and this game 2 years later. Imagine if GTA SA also came in 2006 and had this kind of graphics. It would be LEGENDARY!
Love this game! I have replaced most of the cars with muscle cars and other mods. The only bad thing i can really say about TDU1 is that your car does not take damage, otherwise its a great driving sim.
hey guys,(in game) go to car dealer -> chose a car (doesnt matter which one) -> test drive -> cockpit view -> look at the passenger seat -> enjoy the view
bought this game recently pre-owned in mint condition and it's way better than I remember, not so much a driving game as a lifestyle game, way better than TDU2 as well.
This game has a strange bug where when three cops are chasing you(highest level), invisible objects spawn in the road and force you hit them, thus screwing you over even harder.
I dont have that problem,there are only police cars in row when police chases you on highest level,there is chance that these police cars are missing texture so you ram in them.
yeah its a template for after effects cs4 i use it too and probably still have it lemme know if u still want it. i used to use it (in my videos) but now have a custom made one :) more satisfaction from making it urself than getting a cool one from the internet.
the best car in this game is mclaren f1, I remember knowing nothing about this game untill I googles games with mclaren f1 in them. so I bought this game and a few gameplay hours later I could afford the mclaren f1, (most expensive car in the game 1 million)
I had the multiplayer demo for this on my 360 and I played the shit out of it. I'd just drive around for hours. What a load of shit the sequel was though.

+FastCarsNoRules220 I still think it's better than nfs hp 2010.
+Eric istooop yeah same here. I'm 23 and I still play it with TDU2 but after the servers closed, they may not make a third.
I used to be so obsessed over this game. Brings back memories.
I remember hours and hours of exploring the little Hawaiian Island in all those cars that I could't possibly afford, on my Playstation Portable (PSP). Good times indeed. Loved every moment of it.
The same for me, it was a joy playing and discover that world... truly nostalgic about it right now...
are these graphics on psp
Dude.. I made it a mission to get the Xbox achievement for literally discovering/driving every single road. And yes... I indeed achieved it with George Lopez, Linkin park and Coldplay on the radio.. always stoned. In fact if I wasn't stoned.. I wouldn't play the game xD xD
I can't count how many hrs I put into this game ... It was obviously a lot xD
@@Davison2005 XD
My childhood game
your itinerary is being recalculated
Can't believe the Xbox one can't run this masterpiece of a game I even still have the tdu disk somewhere
Because its only made for the Xbox 360.
This game is special, tdu 2 doesn't have the same feeling as this.. Same as other newer game too.. I hope they reboot this series.. I miss my childhood 😢😢
i like the change in intro quality, it looks like I'm getting ready to see a new epic movie, then "Test Drive Unlimited" appears, made in Ms paint
Ogod, I had such good memories of this game and I thought the graphics were amazing. Coming back destoyed a piece of that memory. Great game though, excited for the sequel!
You mean the third game?
Unlimited 2 was released in 2011.
@@ms-terious No, the third one called Solar Crown that was announced in 2019 and maybe would be released in 2023.
Buys BMW, leaves lot and immediately blows a stop sign at 70mph, parks on the sidewalk and leaves. Mighty fine roleplay
You forgot to mention that he didn't use his indicators.
I was so happy when i realised i could open the window
Shaun George u can also open the roof
Immortal Piyush not in tdu1 only tdu2
Not to mention you can actually look down inside the cockpit, and see yourself shifting gears. Now that’s what I call attention to detail. Most games like Forza doesn’t have that
best game ever 😂💪🏼
Hey, we are getting a 3rd TDU. TEST DRIVE SOLAR CROWN

Alex Moore I hated TDU 2 and absolutely loved TDU.
Alex Moore i love tdu2 i don't know what is the problem with you guys, though i haven't played tdu

D Jnsen i would if it was on steam
The precursor of Forza Horizon.

So, how much fun did you had already? I love this game
back in 2006, i saved all the screenshots i could find coz this was the most realistic game i had ever seen.
Crazy Underrated Game and UI.
I remember when I played this game (it was around 2007) it has an awesome graphic. But now looking at it ...
+King Vito Graphic isn't important to me as the game itself is. And TDU rules :)
This game is different from what I remembered lol it looked like forza horizon 4 to me back then
GTA San Andreas came out in 2004 and this game 2 years later.
Imagine if GTA SA also came in 2006 and had this kind of graphics. It would be LEGENDARY!
This version of TDU was so much better. Didn't have to worry about licenses, if you didn't have the right car you could rent one..
Its a mod, not the original content.
I remember playing this when I was 6
you're 8 now, good job
me too I played in 2010
Love this game! I have replaced most of the cars with muscle cars and other mods. The only bad thing i can really say about TDU1 is that your car does not take damage, otherwise its a great driving sim.
I dont have mitsubishi in my game :(
i remember this game on my xbox 360

+Tom Ferreira it looks amazing back to 2007 compared to nfs 10

I like this game. I have this on the PS2 - poor graphics, but the gameplay is pretty much the same =P
Joguei muito esse jogo e mata a pau muitos games da atualidade.
I am downloading it right now
Your buying a bmw at a mercedes dealer!!?
It's mod not update.
Christer1995 yet again, your grammar sucks...

Great video, great game!! ;)
Miss this game so hard! ;(
hard? don't u mean much
Lol
very good gameplay
:D
Nice video :D
Dunno if it's just me, but the SLK 55 AMG looks like a BMW M3.. xD
@movio9 Yes, this is a racing game, you race to earn money to buy better cars and houses, this game also allows free-roam and such.
BMW-Benz, Jagulancer, AstonPorsche and Aditi.))
best DS graphics I've ever seen!
yeah its a template for after effects cs4 i use it too and probably still have it lemme know if u still want it. i used to use it (in my videos) but now have a custom made one :) more satisfaction from making it urself than getting a cool one from the internet.
This game is best because it got sick cars in it
The bad things about TDU is the handling and the interior of the cars...
Is probably a mode. I got a Porsche on a Mercedes store. :)
NEW TEST DRIVE GAME IS COMING SOON developed by nacon or something
I wish there were more turns in this game. Way too many straight aways to be challenging.
this game has so awsome control
I wish they would make car modding games.
Whose here after the TDU solar crown announcement?
the best car in this game is mclaren f1, I remember knowing nothing about this game untill I googles games with mclaren f1 in them. so I bought this game and a few gameplay hours later I could afford the mclaren f1, (most expensive car in the game 1 million)
Very nice review, i will now play this game xD. Thx.
This game has aged terribly..and what's with the non-factory wheels?
wdym?
That is a mod, not a original content.
Handling is way better than in TDU2
test drive unlimited gameplay, shows mods lol misguiding people that want to see how the actual game is
i want to play this game now in 2013.....
DOWNLOAD THIS GAME FROM "OCEAN OF GAMES"
Going to Aston Martin and buying a Porsche is like going to Ferrari and buying a Fiat imo XP
ah.....the grand mother of forza horizon series.
Best game forever

Can any 1 tell me more about this game?
You have to race with diffrent cars?
Or just racing around on the map?
at 2:49 the jaguar xk convertible is really a mitsubushi evo man tdu probably never checked the game over before putting it in stores
I like the TDU GPS instead of that from TDU2
Yeeeaaaah Jaguar is a Mithsubishi xD Aston martin is Porche, nice
Yeeeaaaah Jaguar is a Mithsubishi xD
