Media have rallied around Test Drive® Unlimited 2's untouchable qualities in the racing genre:
"Racing across this island is only part of the fun. Test Drive Unlimited 2 celebrates the luxury lifestyle..." - IGN
"In TDU2, the islands of Ibiza and Maui are ludicrously detailed sandboxes on a scope that few games ever approach..." - Ten Ton Hammer
"Test Drive Unlimited 2 might be the Xbox 360's ultimate form of escapism. Heck, who wouldn't want to spend all day racing and cruising around the Spanish island paradise of Ibiza behind the wheel of their choice of exotic supercars?" - Official Xbox Magazine
