At least we got mods to fix it.
Ta wapo
86/100
Era uma promessa e tanto. Mas veio repleto de bugs e coisas que não funcionavam singleplayer. Triste.

Alone In the Dark (2008) racing game
One of the worst experiences I've had trying to play a racing game. Everything about it was pretty bad. It felt bad to play, the menus sucked, I didn't like the progression. I could go on but I forget most of it and it's honestly just not worth researching.
The first true gaming disappointment that I've ever had in my life. A game that, while at its core, continues with the well done 'live the life' simulator that the original TDU, and in fact gives you more to live that life, and while still being a lot of fun to explore and cruise around in, the game is brought down heavily by feeling so Eurojanky that it boggles the mind. Alongside that, a story that doesn't exactly refute the popular argument that story shouldn't be in racing games.
A mediocre handling model, but so many great features found nowhere else, that it is worth playing none the less.
A completely broken racing game with shockingly poor voice acting, broken physics, a progression system seemed engineered specifically to make you frustrated at repeating content, and an utterly dire frame rate.
Only played up to class A3 or so or whichever one was it with the near impossible license test.
The game has an issue in general with the license tests for a vehicle class often being harder than the actual competition for that class, so the competitions tend to feel like victory laps, while the real challenge comes from doing the license test.
What I like about the TDU series is the vehicle class system which provides an excuse to main many different cars. It'z fun going to dealers, test driving the cars and planning what will be your choice for a particular class. However the more I played the game the more it seemed like some cars were flat out better than the others in that class and some were flat out worse. Obviously this is present in all racing games but somehow it felt more pronounced here.
Another issue is that for general free roam there's no reason to pick an off road vehicle so as not to block yourself off from the dirt routes (of which there are a huge amount) as well as any side missions that make use of them. Any off-road car will do, so there's nothing stopping you from picking from the most high performance class. Taking into account everything I had written up to this point, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that there was a single car in particular I was behind the wheel of for nearly the entire amount of the time I spent playing the game, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
Still, I liked driving around and doing the side missions. It was like crack to me although at the same time certainly a downbeat/relaxed experience. I just wish it saved your best record for each mission like it did for races. There were many missions with like a damage or stamina meter that I finished with maybe one percent left and I almost wanted to restart because I know I could have done it better, even though it makes no difference. ໒( ⇀ ‸ ↼ )७

you ever play a game and you know something is horribly, horribly wrong with it, but you just can't place what it is? that was my experience with this game
Driving mechanics are wonky and the story is some hard cringe. The open world is pretty cool and I like some of the customization options, though. The music choices are incredibly underwhelming and I'd rather leave the radio off, which is a pretty big deal in these kinds of racing games.
The game in a nutshell: https://youtu.be/qzh6gw8pvp4?si=bmG5STq9wjRiMEM3
Was a little fun, mostly awkward. Kiss of death on this was the game softlocking every time I bought something after I was finished with the main campaign.
Greatest racing game of all time, no contest
El nivel de detalle y la diversión que puede ofrecer aún TDU2 son sorprendentes
One step forward, two steps back.
Ibiza is a cool addition but it’s quickly ditched in favour of returning to Oahu, resulting in a game that’s riding on the coattails of its predecessor but ultimately doing it worse. Physics are borked, cars are locked behind un accessible multiplayer modes, and the less said about the “”””story””””, the better.
It’s still… okay? I guess? But man. I hope Solar Crown picks the series back up off its ass.

finally a game about what people who play these modern nfs games really want to do pretend their millionaires with expensive cars
Si la precuela era el abuelo éste es el Padre del estilo, aquí introduce a lo grande el festival, la Solar Crown, lo que copió y perfeccionó Forza Horizon con la Horizon Fest.
Meter con semejantes escalas Oahu e Ibiza en 2011 fue algo flipante.

I hate this ending so fucking much
You just win the final tournament and there's a cutscene of your characters stiff ass face just saying like I Win :)
then you get a car you can easily buy at any point in the game fuck you
Anyways it's pretty fun to progress through and all. Maybe tiring and repetitive after a while, but it gets the job done.
Also the maps (2 of them) are huge holy shit

tremendous fun until you get to the supercars and the physics completely break
Hey!
Remember Test Drive Unlimited?
Want to add some absolutely baffling "lifestyle" elements to it - like bland, jankily animated avatars posing next to casinos with bandages over their faces (cos plastic surgery)?
Good.
I mean, they did add a nice version of Ibiza to the already perfect Hawaii.
And let you hang your own car porn pictures in the nice houses you would buy - why can't you do that in FH??
And massively improve the offroad side of things (lots of fun rally moments).
And they enabled you to make time trial challenges to share with other people - like drive round 2 very nice corners in the car of your choice - which was a lot of fun to do.
But then you had to actually bet your own in game money on people not beating your time - with the idea that you would get paid if no one managed it.
And then everyone just used the same ridiculous Bugatti Veyron to smash your time - and there was no way to lock them to the one you used.
Soooo you lost your money.
Annnnd, once you had beaten the game, there was actually no other way to get more.
I'll repeat that:
There was no way to get more money offline once you had beaten the game
Literally, the end game was Bugatti Veyron filled forced multiplayer money-laundering trash.
Shame, as the driving was really fun and the roads really felt good.

Um excelente jogo, muito bem feito e realista, porém como um jogo não me divertiu, mas não vou tão longe de dizer que é ruim ou mal feito, eu q n gostei mesmo
This game is really fun but it's a grind.
an okay but largely unmemorable racing game that was pretty fun to drive around in with friends
