Test Drive Unlimited (PSP)

Test Drive Unlimited is incredible. Enormous landscape (Oahu) to drive through, massive amount of races, and I haven't even tried the online stuff yet. Every car has distinctly different handling and good physics, and the difficulty of the races is about perfect, leaving you screaming and physically twisting the PSP as you try to squeeze the last bit of performance out of your car! This is the most physically involving game I have yet played on the PSP, very well designed and with great graphics.

Now this is serious stuff. This game is absolutely brilliant with so many great cars to drive, from Italian Supercars (sadly no Ferraris though) to Classic Musclecars.Now don't be put off by people stating the analogue stick is impossible to use; it just takes time to get used to and you'll soon become Stick King. You may get a rather sore left thumb though!The handling is very realistic, the power, speed and acceleration is all spot on. Every car is different. The only poor point is the lack of guidance of the manual, but go to various websites if you get stuck. In other ways it's fun to find out for yourselves what you need to do to unlock all those great driving experiences. One of the best features is going on-line where you can race anyone in the world by either challenging anyone direct (flash your lights twice) or go to a racing lobby and choose set races. The PSP does sometimes have trouble keeping up with the graphics but the 2000 is much better.Now a serious point though: this game is so addictive I had only 4 or 5 hours sleep before getting up for work! I have spent around 35 hours play on this game and I still haven't quite finished it ( 2 more to go which seem impossible!) Warn your family before you start play or lock yourself in a room to play, and play and play. Fantastic. Have fun. Go get it.
