    It doesnt work, theres no patch, and the bits that do work or need fixing get boring very easily. Whats the point of making an online racing game you cant either get online with or when you can, everyone has connection problems so you cant race them. Steer clear (pardon the pun) unless it gets fixed. By the way the lyrics to the installation music go- This is an excuse that we're making we're making, Is it good enough for what you're paying you're paying It's just another excuse Is this song about Atari's support? ... Say no more… Expand

    An incredible game with a fantastic and new idea, but it lacks in multiplayer gaming. Anyay if you get an wheel joystick the game will reveal you its full engine power, with stunning physics and an awesome realism that can be compared to RACE 2.

    It's not perfect but it's good fun. I had a very hard time getting this running on my 1st PC, to such an extent that a gave up until I had upgraded. I'm glad I did as it's great. The racing in single player is pretty easy and the online stuff is either laggy or anoying but then you get a moment of joy and it's all worthwhile for that alone. Best with a wheel and a beefy PC though.… Expand

    This is a great racing game, don't see many on the Pc so I would suggest picking this up! The gameplay is surprisingly arcadey, with tasks varying in content, ie straight forward racing to dropping pretty girls around town, but then penalized for giving them a bum ride! Other side missions like delivering cars etc add as a pleasant and rewarding distraction from the main element of the game. You will certainly require a good PC to play this at a full detail. I max the lot with FSAA 4x to boot and get an average of 40fps on the flat screen view (best for this game). My specs are AMD X2 AM2 3800+, 2gb DDR800, SATA, Radeon X1950 Pro 512mb. You are warned!… Expand

    Awesome game! It has almost everything that a fast cars liking human can want. The only bad thing is that the island could have more life and more things to do, like going to bar and control the character inside.

    This game has very good free roam. You got one big island. It's Hawaii. It is very nice made. This game has got pretty nice graphics and I like that there are many car dealers. The bad thing is that they are too many. Why all Ferrari's can't be in one place? I know that this is realistic but they are too many. Not many this sort of racing games got bikes. Although the graphics are good sea looks quite bad. I know it's nothing big but I found some bad things in this game. Sometimes this is too hard and you have to be a pro game-driver.… Expand

    Get a steering wheel and a decent graphics card and this game will not fail to impress. There are issues with online account management since it's done by GameSpy and not GFW LIVE, but if you manage to get it working the game is a joy to play. The only problem is that there is no real motivation to play it- it's the kind of game you go on just to make yourself feel as if you're on holiday.

    So much better than TDU2! Although the graphics look a bit dated, they still look better than TDU2- which quite frankly sucks! Theres no stupid storyline, or championship mode. Just detailed cars racing round a well made island, that has clearly taken ages to develop. 8/10 from me, simply because of the graphics its not as immersive or accesiable

    TDU's MMO elements are slight compared to quest-and-kill fare, but it's still the greatest advancement of the driving-a-pretend-car concept in years... A car fancier's wish-dream. [Feb 2007, p.74]

    TDU still offers a massive, inviting, and involving world for racing fans to gather in and share their love of cars. All with a cocktail on the side, too. [Mar 2007, p.64]

    A triumph...An expansive environment, expensive cars and plenty of company to race against make for an intoxicating Hawaiian cocktail. [Mar 2007, p.62]
