14 DAY TRIAL // Test Drive Unlimited 2 has just received a brand new update, which solves many of the racing game's issues, and also brings some free downloadable content in the form of cars and items for the single-player mode.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 was released a few months ago, and, sadly for racing fans that eagerly awaited the new title from Eden Games, had quite a few technical problems.
[admark=1]Now, through subsequent patches, most of the issues have been eliminated, so Eden Games decided to release a very special update, which not only fixes the last few problems, but also adds free content for the game, as a token of appreciation for fans who bought the game knowing that it had some glitches.
Check out the list of things brought forth by the new Test Drive Unlimited 2 update.
