Amazing race sim, if you like race simulations of course!

User Rating: 9.6 | GTR 2 PC

Gameplay- There is simply no way to describe. This is the REAL DEAL. Racing doesn't get as good as this on the PC. The physics are amazing and the AI isn't as dumbed down like in the Gran Turismo series (i like GT, but its not as good as GTR2). Whatever a real race car driver would have to go through in real life, you have to go through here. People don't seem to know what training racers have to go through during the season but this game portrays that very well. Simply put, you HAVE to practice at it. You can't just pick up ur steering wheel and win, you gotta practice, but thats where the fun comes from :).

Graphics- Car models and the track layouts are crazily vivid and full of detail. The cockpits are also just like the "real thing." Although, the spectators and off track personnel could be worked on, especially the pit crews. Thats not a big part of racing anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Sound- When you're accelerating at full speed and down shifting, you definetly feel the power of the car kick in. When turned up to the maximum, it feels like ur actually there.

If you buy GTR2, don't forget to get a wheel like the Logitech MOMO which is reasonably priced and works great. I would get the Logitech G25 if it didn't cost so much! The only thing the MOMO lacks is a clutch but the sequential shifter is realistic as most FIA GT sports cars use sequential shifting.

    Hello! I just thought I would write a review on this to show you that this is not some crap game just cause of the dated graphics. It has been a year and a half now since I started playing simulations (starting with G... Read Full Review
