It definitely is the calm before the storm here, as there aren’t that many new game releases to get excited about this week… unless of course you’re a racing enthusiast with a penchant for customisation and an eagerness for exploring the island of Ibiza!

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is available today in South Africa, Europe and the UK, and with its release comes the chance to test out a bevy of exotic sports cars, customise your virtual home and fill your garage with even more racing machines, speed along the virtually recreated roads of Ibiza, meet up with friends (and enemies) on the tarmac (and off-road) in a seamless online/off-line world, experience the game’s dynamic weather and day/night cycles, and much more!

El33tonline has amassed a wide selection of videos showcasing this impressive and ambitious racer from Atari and Eden Games, as well as a few batches of screenshots plus much more information besides - find out a whole lot more about Test Drive Unlimited 2 via our previous coverage of the game, and catch a healthy bunch of new gameplay videos a little ways below.
