How are you guys playing it when its not released til next friday? Do you know someone in the trade or have preview copies?

It's being sold early by Simply Games

SonicUK · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:08

Ah I see. I pre-orderd mine ages ago(not from there)but have pre-order bonus content with it so I think I'll just wait the extra week. Hopefully it'll arrive early by one or two days.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. I'm away for the weekend so it wouldn't do me much good getting it early.

Managed to get a couple of hours in today, and cleared the early licences and races. Got to be honest, I wasn't that taken by it, but once I started to just cruise around, setting my gps for somewhere miles away, I got really into it. Just need to save up for my 430 now, and i'll be made up.

With regards graphics, I think after playing it for a while it's most similar to Just Cause 2 in style, which is no bad thing. Just don't expect to be blown away.

PS3? If so, add me to your PSN list (kuspert), haven't had any friends online with the game yet to see if it's any better for finding/meeting people.

I'm ingame now kicking Miami Harris's arse in the first lot of races. Either I'm awesome at TDU 2 or the first lot of races are there to break you in gently.

I choose to believe I am awesome at TDU 2.

That's where my money would be mate

have you met up with any friends ingame yet? Really want to know if this has been improved from the first, but looks like i'll have to wait until next week to find out.

ElliorR · 3 Feb 2011 at 18:45

I've seen a few random people around but not heard any chatter yet or met up with anyone on my friends list.

Hopefully be on at the same time one day. Still on just the 2 cars? I need to buy another house now really so that I can fit in my 430.

Something that really annoys me is I want to drive to places not be instantly teleported. I can't seem to find a way to set the GPS to places. It's a driving game not Star Trek™

J1nxy · 3 Feb 2011 at 20:32

When you set the GPS there are 3 options, Go There, GPS Target and Bookmark. Select GPS target and that lets you drive there, Go There hops you straight there.

Tried that, but you end up losing the in-game voices as well.
