Hi,
I'm Osmo from Finland. I'm 28 years old and I mostly play PC simulation games (such as IL-2 Sturmovik, ArmA, Richard Burns Rally, etc), but since I saw TDU first time about a year ago I really wanted to play this game.
A few weeks ago I bought the game and Logitech G25 racing wheel and I have to say the game is quite amazing. Even though the game might not have perfect car physics etc, they are still pretty good. Some arcade features of the game do annoy me, such as the huge signs that you see when you approach a challenge (I wish they had implemented it in some other way), but the other features like the huge area where you can drive anywhere, traffic, and nicely implemented online play really make this game good.
I hope in TDU2 they have introduced even more realism to the game. In addition to having fuel consumption, I'd really like to see cars breaking up when they collide so that there would be some consequence of driving like insane. If it would cost to fix the car (and tow it away if it's too badly damaged), it would make people drive more carefully online, and increase the realism.
BTW, I used to play the first Test Drive games by Accolade long time ago, Test Drive 1, 2 and 3.
