555725 2007-06-03 14:03:00 You like Test Drive Unlimited?

I found the scope of the game impressive, Beyond impressive even.

But the gameplay is so simplistic and easy that Im bored to tears, Trying to slog through it but just to try and get my $100 worth. 		Metla (12)
555726 2007-06-03 21:35:00 Yes, I love that game :D

I will agree, it does get boring at times... like I have finished all the races and have got to do all the missions and that and they take me AGES cause I try going as fast as possible while still keeping the perfect mission score :D

Have you had any issues with the game crashing or the GFX getting screwed up and having to alt-tab out to fix them? 		The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Without fail when I launch the game the graphics are distorted to the point of collapse and the framerate is at less then 1fps, It takes me about a minute to exit out of the game, when I relaunch her shes fine, lookin sexy and running at the expected FPS.

and it has blue screened on me a half dozen times, The only game or application that has ever caused a hiccup on this PC. 		Metla (12)

555730 2007-06-03 23:44:00 For windows the MUST HAVE list is very long even if you just want to do basic things and
stay safe.If you want to boot up next time and find everything the same as you left it (or repair what has mysteriously changed) then the list is much longer.
If you use Linux you can forget all the AV and adaware stuff and to get really basic all you would need is Open Office,Thunderbird,Firefox and Gimp.Then individual expectations after that will dictate. 		kjaada (253)

What settings do you run it on and what GFX card?

He he, does to me too... and at the worst possible times... ie just about to cross the finish line of the Millionaires Challenge :badpc: 		The_End_Of_Reality (334)
