PGR3 vs TDU

PaulStat · 13 Sep 2006 at 16:34

If you had to get one or the other which would it be and why?

McDaniel · 13 Sep 2006 at 16:36

TDU

Because its better.

Maniac618 · 13 Sep 2006 at 16:36

Unless it has been changed from the latest demo, I'd get PGR3 instead of TDU because in the TDU demo the handling was unbelievable bad.

To be honest the only comparison is that you get to race cars in each. Both games have their strengths and both have massive flaws but are very different. Enjoyment wise though, TDU just has the edge.

Very different games. One's open ended, the other is a closed off street racer. I'd go for TDU just for the sheer amount of things you can do, and every race isn't a demolition derby...yet.

I'd get TDU now, hardly anybody on PGR3 anymore, where as TDU there is LOADS

Pick up PGR 3 when its goes to a classic title.

Nice reasoned argument there!!!

A well thought out and reasoned argument over the merits of Test Drive there BossyPapa

I love test drive, its got that "one more go" thing going for it, before you know it, its 3am and your driving 140 miles around the island.

It was just too easy to see a potential games reviewer in the making!

(Totally unrelated - enjoy whichever TD gig you're going to (NEC for me)).

TDU For the win tbh.

Although PGR3 is the better racer out of the two TDU is the better game simply down to how much you can do.

Bossy papa · 13 Sep 2006 at 20:01

ok its not that crap ,i was expecting to much out of tdu,just dont like the way the cars handle,
the concept of the game is well thought out 'its just when i get the car out on the road i get disapointed when i turn corners.

NokkonWud · 13 Sep 2006 at 23:46

Both, they are both excellent games.

blueshift · 14 Sep 2006 at 06:44

Ive had both games,, TDU stands head n shoulders above PGR3, so much to do, not just aimless racing aound a track, i cant understand what all the fuss about handling is?, the cars in TDU all have there own distinct handling, the better the car , the better the handling??

lordrobs · 14 Sep 2006 at 10:27

I'd say both too but if I had to pick one right now it would be TDU.

I hated the handling in the demo's but after covering 200+ miles last night I can tell you that it feels damn good

I still think that Forza 2 will take the crown as being my fav racer on the 360 (300+ cars all of which can be modded YES PLEASE!) but for now TDU is great.

bingham67 · 14 Sep 2006 at 10:35

TDU open enviroment is awesome must buy if you havnt got it already.

rug · 14 Sep 2006 at 12:09

The handling on the demo is not the same as the final product. This is the best game on the 360 imo, nothing has been done quite like this before and I agree its one of those games that gives you late nights!

Thats a contradiction in terms. You do have an aim... to get around the track.
Ones open ended, ones track based, thats why they are totally different games.

TDU
the handling is fine, apart from the Bikes, i have ridden a few bikes and its horrible, but maybe i am just too used to the smootheness of MOTOGP and Tourist trophy for bikes, buts i found them really jerky
But TDU is better than PGR3
