Test Drive Unlimited – Hardcore Mode DLC review

This one’s pretty hit or miss. Some people love it and some people hate it and arguably you get far more benefit from this if you own a MS Wireless Racing Wheel since that’s what it was designed around. The reaction on the forums is pretty mixed, some people swear it is far more realistic even on a pad but in my experience they basically killed the turn rate, decreased friction and gravity even more. If you originally had issues wtih the game physics then this mode makes it worse, not better. The price is only 160 pts so it’s not too expensive to try. The bottom line is, if you dislike the game’s physics – skip it. If you like the game’s physics, already drive around with no driving aids on even in Class A’s and are looking for a bigger challenge pick this up.
