The largest revival in recent racing history has finally released. 13 years since the last entry in the series, Test Drive Unlimited is back with Solar Crown… and the end product is certainly not as I had dreamed for this series’s comeback. In this long-winded critique, we dive deep into Solar Crown, comparing it to it’s predecessors, see if it lives up to it’s iconic nameplate, and arguably most importantly, give our two cents in the hopes of improving this game.

Full transparency: I was gifted a review code for Solar Crown by Nacon, which I normally would not accept, however the team gave me full permission to be unfiltered, I greatly respect that.
