Xbox360 Test Drive Unlimited Demo (E3 Demo)

[Hartley Hare]

Im really enjoying it, fingers crossed for region free but I guess im a sucker for drivers, if it's not then ?40.00 bar it is

[Bada Bing!]

The handling is pish, I'm going to cancel my pre-order I think. Might buy it if it's region free. Right now I feel it's worth ?22 (the US rrp) but not much more. It's nice to race people, but when it's impossible to get a feel for the road or predictable handling then what's the point?

Nice gamertag BB

No way would I pay full price but I might grab it 2nd hand from here when the next lull hits 360 (End of Sep till Nov by the looks of it ??)

Dead Rising and Saints Row with a little Just Cause for me this month.

Nice gamertag BB .

I was thinking of changing it as it does seem to be lost on the Americans. Even some English peeps have asked me "WTF kind of name is that?!".

[Gavin]

I thought they'd supposed to have improved the handling in this second demo - it's still ****, far too unpredictable, PGR is leagues ahead in this department.

Quite like the free roam thing, works quite well, but if they still insist on charging full price for it over here, they can go **** themselves with one of their mclaren f1 models....

[Skull Commander]

I really hated this, but now I'm addicted. Free roam is the best thing ever online!

I wish my HDTV was back.

[snob on]I can't bear to play games stretched in 4:3 when they're designed for 16:9.[snob off]

[stainboy]

Didn't really see the point of this, driving around aimlessly doesn't seem like a game to me Must be a car-fan thing.

Can see the potential it has of looking pretty on a HD telly though.

[Family Fry]

This is now on my radar.
Had a go on it last night was just driving along minding my own business then I see Soapyyeti 200 yards.....WAIT A SEC thats my m8!
Went straight to him started beeping my horn and chasing him, plugged in my headset and sure as hell he was on there (hadnt noticed on my friends list what he was playing!)
We ended up having a few set races all round the map, a cracking 8 min races at one point we put the marker off the demo map and couldnt actually get to it, off road we went!
Still think the bikes handle awful though but im enjoying racing around the HUGE map.

Quite amusing game on this the other day, was just sitting there on the crappy bike thinking "I wonder if any Live users are on..." was fiddling about to find out how when suddenly someone called "MuThAEfFeR" or something equally as bad smashed into me with his sports car and sent me flying.

He drove off at 1000mph, i call hit and run. I hope the police got him.

[Hirst]

Not sure what people are saying regarding the handling, seems fine to me given the nature of the cars and roads. To be honest if I was thrashing an old AC around at 120mph around a banked curve, stable would be the last thing I'd expect it to be. People tend to be going too fast and not backing off when they need to like over curvy hill sections with dips etc. The roads are generally very "bouncy" and need to be tackled as such.

I couldn't get on with the bike but I was playing someone who was brilliant with it - the secret would seem to be to not ride absolutely flat out or you'll be off at the first corner, you have to take it easy and then hammer it when you get to a big flat straight.

[Jebus]

The only problem I had with the game was that almost every camera angle (from outside, to inside) was slightly too low and it was difficult to see the road coming...like you needed to just look over the bonnet a bit more...

[Concept]

You could adjust the height of your seat position. Well, at least you could in the first demo.

You could adjust the height of your seat position. Well, at least you could in the first demo.

Thats rather odd...since we're all watching the game from the same camera positions...why not just make it higher to begin with.

I find it really bizarre that you can do things like that in a game to be honest.

With the default settings I found I could go over a small hill and suddenly SMASH I've hit a barrier, because I couldn't see far enough in front of me to begin with.
