    I played it for a few days and didn't like it much. Also, shouldn't this be in the gaming section?

    OH, ya you're right it should be in the saming section ;) Thanks for moving it mods.

    Sure is, I am not sure if PS games are backward compatible, but TDU was released for the PS2 also ;)

    I used to play it on the PC, but my desktop couldn't play it at full resolution with a Logitech G25 (supposedly a steering wheel dropped the FPS). After I stopped, I never started again but I would not mind a better computer and the new add-on pack.

    I had played quite a lot. My favorite car is Ferrari Enzo (and usually I'm not a Ferrari fan :D ) followed by F40 (it's pure awesomeness on Tantalus with reduced driving assist and keyboard :D ).

    :eek: TANTALUS :D
    I remember that race. It was the hardest of all the races IMO. I forget which car I used on that race, but I completed the race by driving down the grass which made a huge shortcut, then I had to be very careful not to hit any other cars because the of the ground rule thingy ;)

    My favorite car was the chrysler me four twelve, the most powerful of them all. Unfortunately I always got arrested when I drove it :D

    ME Four Twelve :eek: No way :D I can't put 5th gear without crashing somewhere, I can't call that a car, it's dragster. Anything slightly different from a straight line and you're out :D

    I'm glad there was an explanation as to what "TDU" stood for. I thought it was 'Techie Dorks United' and was about to respond with a resounding " YES!".

    Oh well.

    I'm not that much of a TDU nerd, I haven't done any mods yet, though it would be nice if I could make a car from scratch... like maybe a chevy suburban :D

    I used to play too, but on a PSP. I'm just waiting for the new PSP and new TDU. Which is called TDU 2. The CEO of Atari said it will be released after 2009. Besides all of that, I review gadgets and post tech news on my blog. Even though I'm 12. Anyway, TDU was a good game wasn't it?

    I still play it on the PSP too ;) I have like 5 million master points :D
    It's to bad they cut off multiplayer though, it's boring just driving around by myself :(

    There are tons of mods, just look up the TDU modding community, there is alot of different vehicles, from supercars to riced 93' Civics that you can mod the game with :D

    C00L :D Something weird has happened on my computer though.
    I've been playing TDU on my 1340 for about 2 months and suddenly yesterday it froze. So I restarted and it froze again when I was driving.
    Now it freezes after I've been driving for only a few minutes.
    I googled the problem and a'lot of people say that they have been playing it fine for 6 months or a year, then suddenly it starts freezing.
    I don't think there is a fix for it either :(
