Gameplay
In Test Drive Unlimited, the player is able to drive both on-road and off-road, challenging any racers they encounter. Oahu is modeled to within a metre of detail of its real life counterpart, as the developers have used satellite imaging for precision modeling. The terrain differs from rainforest and mountains to sandy beaches and Hawaii's capital city, Honolulu.
Although advertising material for the game suggests it to be an exact depiction of the Hawaiian island, numerous government buildings (such as those on Pearl Harbor, Camp H. M. Smith, and Hickam Air Force Base), commercial buildings (Ala Moana Center, the entire commercial strip in Pearl City and the Pearlridge Center), and notable landmarks (statue of King Kamehameha I, etc.) are not present in the game. This may be due to legal concerns or the rendering limitations of the game engine.
Single-player game
The game begins by purchasing a car and a house. The player is then free to explore the island; as this happens key locations on the map are revealed. These include:
Car/Bike dealerships;
Car rental agencies;
Tuning Shops;
Real Estate Agents;
Clothes shops;
Challenges can also be found, which include:
Race vs CPU cars;
Time challenges;
Speed challenges;
Hitchhiker;
Top model;
Courier (Package Transport);
Car Delivery;
Doing well in challenges is rewarded with in-game money, or in the hitchhiker and "top model" challenges, tokens. Using these tokens, the player can buy clothing for their character at the many branded clothes shops on the island. Money earned may be spent on buying new vehicles, renting cars, upgrading cars and buying houses. Players can acquire a total of 90 sports cars from manufacturers including Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Audi, Dodge, Pagani, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus, TVR, Jaguar, McLaren and Saleen, as well as certain brands of motorbike.
Multiplayer game
The multiplayer component (branded as M.O.O.R or Massively Open Online Racing) works as an extra layer on top of the single-player game - that is all activities available in single-player are also available in multiplayer. The following challenges are also available in multiplayer only:
Race vs other players;
Challenge players to complete tasks;
Attempt other player challenges;
Racing against other players works using the player match/ranked match system employed by other Xbox Live games. It is also possible to create an immediate, ad-hoc race against another player by flashing headlights at their vehicle.
