Une petite liste de comparaison entre celle de TDU 1 et TDU 2 petite comparaison entre les liste des véhicules de tdu2 et tdu 1

On peut voir que certaines sont remplacées par des versions plus récentes ou plus évoluées (ex. l'AC289 qui devient l'AC427)
D'autres sont restées les mêmes dans le 2 (ex. Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione)
Il y a celles qui ont été ajoutées dans le 2 et celles qui ont disparues

Playtest
After the trailer, we were let loose on the 6 HD TVs, 6 Xbox 360’s all with copies of the most recent build of the full game. We all started new games from the beginning. It all started out at a luxurious house party where you choose your character. I was eager to get going so I just chose the first one to choose from. One thing led to another and we ended up waking from a dream in a Ferrari California. After a short drive in the Cali for a woman who was complaining about my driving, I mean it’s not like I rolled the car trying to drive over a roundabout or anything like that... I ended up in a driving school(I think) raring to get my first license. Once I had passed all of the tests I was then taken to buy my first car.

There were 3 choices, the Ford Mustang Fastback, Lancia Delta Integrale and Lotus Esprit S3. I went for the Lotus, I have a soft spot for them and I was then taken to my first home, a super posh caravan. It even had its own swimming pool with a 2 car garage. After that we were let loose on a championship consisting of around 5 races in the Lotus.

At this point we were free to roam around the island, finding new shops for various things including plenty of car dealerships with some extremely nice cars in them that were way way way out of my price range. I eventually found something that I quite liked, I’ll save what it is for a later date but it is pretty awesome.

After some driving around on my own and crashing the shiny dev Xbox several times we all decided to have a few races together. Follow the leader, it’s a shame though that not of the others knew what we were meant to be doing. I thought the clue was in the name, but hey, you’ve seen the other staff around here.

After that, I did a bit more exploring, finding new shops and dealerships, full of some great “cars”. I also found myself getting deeper in to the story line and quite enjoyed it along with doing some of the new side missions.

Overall, the game in itself is fantastic, the way that it gradually eases you into it and the story line of a whole up to where I got to felt well thought out. The handling of the cars also seemed much improved on the build of the game that we were playing. They are going in the right direction from the early impressions from the game.

There were a few bugs

Reception
Upon arriving at Landmark House, we saw a rather gorgeous Ferrari F430 Spyder, which boosted our happiness even more than what it was. We had a little difficulty in parking our vehicles due to an unnecessarily large Jeep occupying 1 and a third parking spaces... Not to worry as the helpful security guard quickly tracked the owner down and she kindly moved it for us with a thoughtful apology.

Upon braving my fears of lifts, I closed my eyes as we were transported higher throughout the building. I was the first to escape the wrath of the metal container. We arrived at the door of your company entrance and was taken aback by the life-like models of the two characters from Tekken. I noticed our resident Diablo was taking a rather suspicious shine to the one in black. We were made comfortable just before the exclusive trailer and we were made to feel like friends, rather than “A couple of guys (and a girl) who have come down to test a game”

The Trailer and other bits before the play test
The latest trailer to emerge from the Eden team was actually rather breathtaking. We were extremely giddy after the trailer had been shows as there were a few cars we never even though of being in TDU2. Sponge is a little sad as his beloved Nissan 350Z is not featured in, but is slightly happier that the 370Z is in... Perhaps Eden could release a “Spongie DLC” (Hey, who knows?! Ed - He knows nothing!)

We were all rather impressed with the wealth of vehicles that are featured in the sequel. We were especially thrilled to hear about the Ferrari 458 Italia. That car will be driven to it’s death by many (but considering how the 458 doesn’t have a relatively long service life... That may be s**ner than we think!)

The first part of the playtest
Part one of the playtest was a strange feeling for us PC Beta players. We were used to sloppy, understeering handling and the inevitability of the tree in front being struck as we flail about trying to avoid it. The 360 version of the handling was almost exactly how it should be, perhaps maybe a teeny-bit less grip though guys?? Anyway, we were thrilled and honoured to have been one of the few to see how the game begins, rather than be chucked in at the deep end in a Mustang... In the middle of the road...

The story amongst the game is actually quite humorous. The way the avatar (Or Manco, as mine was ingeniously named) was sleeping in the California, dreaming of driving it around Ibiza was rather funny. It sounds like something quite a lot of us would be doing. The first 10 minutes of the test was a little tedious, as we were unable to skip the cutscenes (And bloomin’ long cutscenes they were, too!) So we were having a social chat about how we think the game looks on 360. Our reactions were mixed, we all agreed that the game looks truly epic graphically. But us PC Gamers were a little cringe-worthy to remember that the 360 doesn’t support Anti-aliasing. So up-close to the screen, we could easily see the “jaggies” (Ed - really?)

Part 2 of the playtest
Once we had filled ourselves with pizza and chocolate bars (Which my mother kindly provided for us all) it was back to business. We all met up for a “Follow the Leader” group session. You would have thought that the title and description would have given an indication as what the proceedings are, but you’d be wrong... Very wrong. As soon as the “GO” appeared on the screen, it was a pit of destruction and expensive paint swapping all throughout the twisty roads of the island. It would appear that we all thought we were in a race until we figured out that the closer we are to each other, the more points we were accumulating. It was at that moment we realised that we’re a group that needs to stay close to each other, not race each other (Which annoyed Baldy – otherwise known as Dan) as he’d been saving all of his money for a scrumptious car he had his eye on only to realise that he must stay behind a mind-bogglingly slow Lancia Delta. I think the Delta had a deformed rear end by the first corner.

We then decided to go our separate ways and test different aspects of the game. Mellors was interested in completing as much of the story as possible, while Baldred was more interested in the sparkling water. Diablo was
