I'd score the game 8 out of 10
Graphics seems much improved over TDU1.
Avatar interaction is silly and pointless, I mean why waste the time developing the ability for your avatar to wave at another one?? I mean once you done it your hardly going to use it as a means of communicating!
I have no problems with the vehicles handling and stuff but I'm not as expert as some people get on TDU!
My biggest disappointment is the photo mode, its actually worse than in TDU1 which I dont understand, the photo mode was actually the aspect of TDU I enjoyed the most; setting up meetings and so on and organising photo shoots was just awesome but the fact the uploader never worked was annoying but then there was an awkward thing you could buy to get the pics of the Xbox onto your PC so it was kind of good but now there is no uploader whatsoever, press start to go to the photo mode the game doesnt actually pause and so its difficult if not impossible to plan action shots and so on. Also in TDU1 you could move the camera left & right much more than now so you could actually take scenic shots and stuff but thats gone in this version. I know the photo mode probably isn't the most important thing for everyone in a driving game so each to their own and all that.
Love the ability to display your photos in your houses though; would just love the ability to share them!!
Overall I'd say its a nice 2nd version of a fabulous game just think that for 40.00 the game should work from day one, the stability of the server gets on my nerves!
Oh and I also dont like having to pay 800 points to use the casino either!
