That&#8217;s not much of a compliment, since the only other contender is Fuel (the exquisite Midnight Club LA never did much to encourage open-world exploration and collecting; it was more of a grand playground than an open-world game).<\/p>\n<p>But Test Drive Unlimited 2 is making the kind of funny noises that a car makes before you drop it off at the mechanic&#8217;s.

So much for that.  Furthermore, I&#8217;ve been unable to get anything multiplayer going, which already makes Test Drive Unlimited 2 a suitable follow-up to Test Drive Unlimited 1.
