Test Drive Unlimited

"Online perks aside, TDU works so well because it nails that fine balance point between insane speed and due care. Though you (sadly) can't damage your own car, you generally need to steer clear of both the scenery and the traffic while also interpreting your GPS directions and racing as fast as possible. Tense? The only way it could be more so is if the game supported rain and night driving. Rough in spots and a bit too casual for some, Test Drive Unlimited nevertheless delivers a truly innovative format and a gorgeous, massive world populated by real people. Now get in and drive!"

"It's not quite as unlimited as its subtitle might suggest, and it's got a pervasively aimless feel, but Test Drive Unlimited still succeeds by creating a fun, leisurely world to drive in."

"It's not a sim, so don't expect GTR2-level realism. It's a game that encourages any car enthusiast to pick up the controller and enjoy it and it doesn't try to beat you up for not having the skills of Mario Andretti. If you want a gorgeous, fun, and easy-to-play racing game to eat up your time, TDU will scratch your itch."

"Just the way that an MMORPG can be enjoyable without an amazing combat system, Test Drive Unlimited is fun without the greatest driving experience. With a little more polish, some extra customization options, and an improved driving system, you’d have a racer that could compete with the big dogs. Little was changed in the move from Xbox 360 to PC, but it unfortunately appears that some of the buzz surrounding this title has waned making for a smaller online community."
