Atari announced that an exclusive demo for Test Drive Unlimited, will be made available to users of the Xbox 360, via the Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo will be available to download from 8 May until 14 May 2006 as part of Microsoft's plans to bring gamers closer to the E3 experience and offer of free Xbox Live Gold membership for the week.
The demo grants players an exclusive chance to get behind the wheel of Test Drive Unlimited and sample some of its online and offline challenges along 40 miles of Oahu's beautiful open roads. To add a bit of spice, players will be able to replay all of the challenges as many times as they wish in order to shave valuable seconds off their time-challenge records, or set about thrashing either human or AI competition in the races before heading to the game's website, link available from download tab above, to view their global ranking.
As a way of letting players find out for themselves what a Massively Open Online Racing game is, the Test Drive Unlimited demo will allow players to set up as many instant challenges as they wish. Players driving along the road can challenge other players to a one-on-one race, define their own start and end points for the race, and power through the lush Hawaiian scenery at break-neck speeds.
With a choice between the Ford Shelby GT500, Lotus Exige and Lamborghini Gallardo, a luxury-laden Lamborghini dealership to visit, and a beautiful house for each player who logs in, the demo offers players a mouth-watering taste of Eden Games' forthcoming automotive experience.
