Atari has announced that "Test Drive Unlimited" has gone gold for the PC and Playstation 2. A digital version of the game will be available on Atari.com beginning today.

"Following the release of Test Drive Unlimited for Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in September 2006, the title has won a host of awards and attracted a loyal fan-base to become the new benchmark for next-generation driving titles. "The three versions scheduled for release this Spring are equally as impressive in terms of presentation, technical achievement and gameplay," said Stephen Baer, Senior Product Manager, Atari, Inc., "Each gives players the chance to race some of the world's most desirable cars on the wide open tropical roads of Hawaii."

"This year Atari is placing a major emphasis on leveraging new online capabilities to connect directly with the community," said Chris Bergstresser, Senior Vice President, Atari Online Entertainment. "Offering Test Drive Unlimited for the PC to fans for digital download two weeks prior to retail launch, is part of a new online initiative for Atari to nurture our core consumers, open a dialogue and encourage our gamers to join our online community."
