Critic Reviews for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown's technical issues, both online and in performance terms, do a disservice to a novel, detailed game world.
Forced online requirements, inconsistent AI difficulty, a stale car list, and chore-like progression all undermine Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown's otherwise robust driving and eye-catching open world.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown offers up a lot of fun both on the track and in its simulated world. A lot of work was put in to make Hong Kong Island feel like a realistic place with far more exploration than one is used to in a racing game. Some of those elements don't hit perfectly, but the on-track performance is what counts the most and Solar Crown largely succeeds there. Races are fun and even on-foot exploration offers up something that helps Solar Crown stand out. Unfortunately, the online-only component of things complicates far more of the experience than it benefits and causes odd problems to occur that makes it tough to fully recommend Solar Crown.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown gives you plenty to do, with a fun world to explore and challenges to take part in, regardless of ability.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown offers us to compete at our own pace in a Hong Kong with somewhat outdated graphics in which there is no lack of factions, dealers and guided tuning. An open world proposal that seems to lack a few months of cooking and that is far from being able to stand up to the greats of the genre.

An open world massively multiplayer online racer with a decent handling model and an okay car list, that's hampered by dated graphics, some baffling design choices, and a clutch of technical issues.
We're glad that Test Drive Unlimited is back, but right now what we're dealing with feels more like an unfinished product than a new installment in a veteran driving saga. Hopefully the updates will get the Solar Crown competition on the podium it deserves.

After years and years of waiting, Test Drive Unlimited is back. Kind of. Solar Crown is an open world racer for gamers who don't need constant gratification, but can be patient and work toward a key unlock and crowning car. It's just a shame that the game at launch will require patience while KT Racing fix, improve and hopefully expand it to meet more of its potential.
