Description
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown for PC is a supercar racing game with added attractions. This game is the twenty-first in the Test Drive series which has been in production since the grandfather days of video game design: 1987.
The game's location boasts a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong island with buildings, landmarks and ports rendered in exquisite detail. This attention to detail also applies to the many sweet vehicles included in the game (see below for more about these).
You take on the character of a driver, male or female – the choice is yours, and join the ultra-rich and slightly sinister in playing games with lots of money, cool cars and perhaps even lives…
The game is open world, not linear, so you can choose how you want to progress and often it is well worth it to simply enjoy showing off your street smarts or serious intellect by playing the system.
Driving is authentic and a lot of fun. You can enjoy the experience of driving while listening to the radio, making sure you use indicators and generally enjoy a seamless and realistic driving experience. You can even open your window to let in a breeze, as well – of course – pushing the envelope when it comes to the speed of your new acquisition.
This game, as mentioned above, is more of a realistic simulation than a fantasy racing game. This is unlike Test Drive 2, its immediate predecessor which was more fantasy based.
Hong Kong drives on the left, so you will have to get used to a different perspective of the road. The left-hand drive roads total around 340 miles (550km) giving you plenty of space to practice on and speed along.
Just as other games in the series allowed for gambling, casinos return in this game, allowing you to gamble your car away – or perhaps win an even better one by snapping up someone’s carelessly discarded key fob from the pot.
The graphics are clever and slick, the action is pacy, and the whole game is complemented by a rocking soundtrack that will get your heart racing even before you get behind the wheel of your chosen supercar.
You will be able to try out the following dream cars:
Ferrari: Italy’s most iconic supercar, with its prancing horse logo is a firm favourite with motorheads of all ages all over the world
Dodge: this American supercar is the muscle car of muscle cars, instantly recognisable for its speedy silhouette and throaty roar
Bugatti: designed by an Italian in Germany with French design in mind, these sleek vehicles add grace and power to any road they care to try
Koenigsegg: Swedish precision and design make these pricy supercars among the most desirable vehicles in the world – to those who love speed and style, that is
Lamborghini: this Italian manufacturer stands alongside Ferrari, despite being more of a driver’s car rather than a racer’s car. Sweet wheels, no matter why you like them
Porsche: German engineering and no speed limits on the autobahn have left Porsches with plenty of practice at being very, very fast when they want to be. They even look fast when parked up, at the side of an exotic hotel or casino…
Aston Martin DB 11: understated, comfortable and British, this car doesn’t seem like it belongs with the other cars in this list. But a moment or two of driving it will soon put your right on that belief!
Land Rover Range Rover SVR: a boxy ‘posh mom’ car, this vehicle proves that it deserves the label of S for special – it is fast, able to hit sixty miles per hour just 4 seconds after hitting the accelerator
Audi: notorious on the motorways and highways, you will soon understand why Audi drivers get a bad rep – sitting on all that power and prestige is sure to make a saint love speed!
Bentley: the royalty of British motoring, these cars are designed for the super-wealthy to go where they want and do whatever they want whenever they want to do it! And that means a powerful car that rides like a dream, but has all the power you need on tap
Mercedes: from a stately German vehicle that oozed reliability and security, Mercedes has upped its game, borrowing freely from Formula One tech to juice its supercars into leading race contenders
Apollo: this German-Italian hybrid is everything King Midas could have wished for had he known about cars and been a motorhead! Sleek, stylish lines, cool metallic colours and a design that looks like it’s going a hundred miles an hour when it’s standing still… what more could you want?
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

The game graphics looks good (similar gfx to other race games like the crew 2) i would say they need some improvements. When runing the game one max ultra settings there is almost no diffrence vs it on medium/high besides a huge frame rate drop. Even at lower settings with a good gfx card/high end pc can maybe get about 60fps but it fluctuates like crazy.
With that said. The racing is fun for the first couple races...as the ai ramps up from novice to expert then u get to a point that u just cant win, if u hit that bump just wrong, or u brake wrong u fall behind and cant catch up. The ai drives the race perfect and has a hidden nos or something as they can take a corner at high speed drop to a crawl then rocket out of the corner at max speed some how? For a casual racer its just not fun to race in.
Handling in the car is ok...but i cant drift around corners very well or i lose a ton of speed and normaly go flying off the road slowing me down even more...or making the game reset me...so instead to turn on most 90 degree turns u have to slow down to grandma speeds then hope and pray that the ai dosnt just take u out. The cars feel like im driving a brick full of bricks driving on bricks....not fun
The prices on cars are stupidly high...a vw bug they have it priced at somewere in the 200-500k ???? Its a 10k car MAYBE 20k for a newish one in real life. An parts are 15-20k a piece ...at least. Im not looking for totaly realistic but come on thats just stupidly high.
Customization is nearly non-existent, most cars u can change the rims (maybe 20ish options) and the color of the car, u can chabge the window tint, can change the interior colors, and if u have earned them u can put some "stickers" on ur car...really???? Thats it??? What am i a 5 year old they have to give me stickers for doing stuff in the game? Not rewarding at all and boring customization.
The charater model (not car but character) is just ugly, compared to the rest of the gfx this one has me confused. It looks like the gfx are modern 2023/2024ish for cars and world but the character models are from 1999 tomb raider. The girl faces look like men...the men look kinda girly body (cant make them buff or skinny). I know u say but this is a race game...ya but each race u are FORCED to watch as ur ugly avatar jumps up and down like a miss shappened creature and clap or through its arms in the air like a seal....u CANNOT skip these "cut scenes"
Leading me to this part as well...if u crash in a race and u know u cant win now (cuz u cant catch up if u make a mistake) u have 2 options.
1: abandon the race and wait for laod screens to then restart said race.
2: keep trucking along and lose miserably and sit through the unskippable "cut scenes" of ur ugly avatar. (On the plus side even if u lose u still win the same amount for some reason???)
The game is half baked only 90+ cars at release (not enough) and all of them are over priced in the game so grind grind grind! Its always online so u cant pause to go pee or get a drink or anything. The few times u can play with players is very rare and if they have a better car to bad u lose.
No cop chases, only time trials and basic racing seems to be the normal options for them.
On a good note: the cars look like good shiny plastic cars and they did get hong kong pretty good minus the traffic ?

Too much server issues and poor optimization, rest of the game is also not ready yet strongly advice to wait a couple months before you should buy it.
- Cars sound and feel good
- Always online
2024-09-22T01:53:24+0800
It is worst than the crew 2, it should named solar crown, this his a not a test Drive Unlimited, i can launch the game with my nvidia gtx1650, i feel like than a drive a bus other than a Mustang, and dont feel the speed, and i need to downshift in 1st gear to take a corner ...
- Not good
2024-09-19T13:22:52+0800
Servers bad, Physics questionable, KI senseless and sometimes way too OP, cars far too expensive compared with payout (too less and after 3 races shrinking, 4th race around 50 % less
2024-09-14T22:48:39+0800
the game is not what i was expecting if i could i swith the game with the crew thats thousand times better than this one i waste so much money now unbelieveable
- great discount
- expectings are worse than they show you
2024-09-14T04:33:24+0800
not worth to buy...if you have steering wheel, very bad
