You can pick up TDU really cheap now as it's been out a long time. I liked the demo but never bought the full game. It's great though as you can just spend time driving around for the sake of it for hours.

I remember that game as being rather sensitive, if you are enjoying driving games then something like PGR4 with its mostly enclosed courses might be up your street.

Yeah, but there wouldn't be any cop cars to break.

The full game of TDU is far better than the demo as well. I wasn't overly keen on the demo as I felt all the cars were twitchy and far too easy to lose control of. The retail release tightened up the controls a lot and it made the game far far better for it. It's one of my favourite driving games and highly recommended.

I echo Davey's thoughts on it, I absolutely loved TDU. Only thing that was lacking was a killer soundtrack, but of course, you can just play your own music anyway.

Indeed you can. I'll attempt to hunt down a copy on the high street and/or online for a bit of fun and it's good to know that maybe I'm not as at fault as I thought I was.

PS - I'm going to let this thread run and run. Hopefully no-one will get tired of my n00bish behaviour - I'm really appreciative of all the help I've been getting and no doubt will continue to get.

Another nod for TDU. I was late getting into it but found it one of the most satisfying racing games I've played.

I even got the achievement for driving on every road

It frustrated me (or rather the challenges did)

Random pedestrian wants to go 40 miles in 3 mins. But if you touch the grass then they'll happily walk!?

I loved those challenges, especially the vouchers for being perfect.
I was annoyed however at the glitch where if you moved/copied your game from the HDD to the MU (or vice versa) all the data corrupted. I lost tens of hours of gameplay time doing that, I could have cried.
