2006, Game of the Year

[SvennoJ]

One more game I played a lot in 2006, Test Drive Unlimited. It was amazing to race around a real entire island. The final race, loop around the island, took over an hour. It's one of the very few games I got 100% on, just so fun and relaxing to drive around the island. I enjoyed the delivery missions the most, both car deliveries and taxi missions.


I played it so much the road system of O'ahu is etched in my mind and I instantly recognized it while flying over in FS2020 over a decade later.
Of course not hard to remember a crossing like this. I almost made it all the way flying under (bugged terrain on the right far side)


I still like the TDU series more than Forza Horizon. TDU has cringe too but in a more holiday fun way. I'm looking forward to the release of TDU Solar Crown. The Horizon games have gone stale.
