Test Drive Unlimited 2 Patch Being Worked On, Testing Continues

[DaveDQ]

I just traded it in today toward Fight Night and regrettably took a loss. I really wanted to like this game but was let down by the overall low quality. I'm trying not to be so much of a ***** these days but this game really shed some negative light on things.

So this patch is just for X360 or is there a concurrent PS3 one being worked on too? Also, I still think this game it totally awesome. I don't know if you guys who are so disappointed are comparing it to the original TDU or what, but I never had that game.

So what happens? They get back on FB, write to their "loyal" fans and the comments in return are blasting them with all types of profanity and criticisms. So now you ask, "How on earth does a reviewer give a game this bad such a good review?" I think the answer is clear. I actually enjoy Game Informer, but at the same time I can't help but wonder its intentions. I also think developers getting involved with the community needs to go away.

I feel the same way about GI. Especially since Kato was the one who reviewed this and I usually think he's pretty good with the sports/racing games. If it was Ben, I'd understand more. Right now the game has a 69 metacritic score with the majority of the reviews in the 60s. I'd agree with that rating as this game just doesn't get it done for me. I loved the first one too.

Too little too late for me. Already traded in at Amazon. I took a hit, but I'll live.

Wanted something to carry me over until Shift 2. This wasn't it. Guess I'll be going back to Forza.

I just picked up Dirt 2, which I missed when it originally came out.

Wow, it looks like a lot of you hated this game. Between just roaming around and playing poker in the casino, I've been enjoying this title a lot. The only issue I've really had so far is the casino servers not working properly on occasion.

PK, I loved TDU, but part 2 is just terrible...or should I say,"TURBAL!" (in my Charles Barkley voice)

I waited too long on this sequel for it too be so bland and boring, everything that made the first one so great, just isn't here. It's like they said, keep car clubs and vehicles! And add unnecessary story line, whack way to get clothes, no more editing the character too look more life like, etc. It's just a boring racer, no where as interesting as the first one. The whole let's get licenses now and crap like that, are just waste of time.

Truly hate TDU2...I don't like anything about it, and all these years and the graphics are still plain, environments are so yek!

I'll just wait on Shift 2...
