Test Drive Unlimited
Publisher: Atari Platform: Xb360 (£50), also PS2,PC, PSP in 2007
Nobody has given you the freedom of an entire Hawaiian island with more than 1,000 miles of roads before. It’s not only hula skirts, either! Save your winnings to spend in car dealers and real estate offices scattered round the towns, and Test Drive seems like a dream come true. As with Project Gotham (above) it works best online – flash your headlights at passing gamers and you can race them for money or cars.
