Test Drive Unlimited 2 goes gold

Plus: New screenshots.

Eden Games' simulation racer Test Drive Unlimited 2 has gone gold, Atari Europe has announced.

The PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game will launch on 11th February.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is based on an open world tropical island where rich people live. You'll be one of them. Through what's called M.O.O.R. - Massively Open Online Racing - TDU2 puts players in a persistent online environment, allowing them to team up and share achievements and creations. The game is always live and updates automatically. The new single-player "narrative mode" can be played offline or as part of the multiplayer.

TDU2 boasts realistic vehicles, vehicle damage, weather effects and a day and night cycle. You can customise your vehicles, acquire property, clothing and "all the accoutrements of a luxurious car-based lifestyle'. Ah, what we wouldn't give for a car-based lifestyle.

Oli went hands-on with Test Drive Unlimited 2 in November. "No other racer offers such a romantic, indulgent celebration of the open road,2 he said. "And no other racer has hairdressers, either."
