TDU:2, Steam or Disk?

I don't know why the fuss was so grand about the first game and now this one. The graphics were/are average compared to other racers, the car handling was/is spongy compared to other racers and the dialogue in game was/is cheesy as well.

The scenery didn't look that great either compared to other racers. What exactly made this "the" racer apart from the licensed cars on display?
 
There's quite a few but they were arcade focused although those are often more fun anyway. This series of TDU seems to be neither for me. On top of that the performance is also poor for the rubbish visual quality!
 
The thing that puts the Test Drive Unlimited games above other racing games for me is the freedom and not being confined to a circuit all the time, the ability to put on some of my own music and cruise around an island either by myself or with friends, or with people I've never met before. Racing around a track and always needing to be competitive in an online game gets on my nerves, plus there's always some idiot who can't play fair anyway so I tend not to buy racing games now.

Graphics aren't the best, but I honestly couldn't give a damn, they're not the be-all and end-all for me. The same for the physics, it's not very realistic but I've got other games for that.

Test Drive Unlimited is my chill-out game, it offers great amounts of driving freedom and hours and hours of exploration. Something Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport or their PC equivilents will never offer.
 
I only got it for the single playing aspect, I never took to racing games online apart from Mario Kart Wii (!).

well i`ve just started
playing
it the graphics look brilliant.

They're good but I wouldn't call them brilliant :p NFS:HP, the gfx in that game are brilliant.

In TDU there's hardly any traffic/action about on the roads too, what's with the emptyness. I'll never understand it.
