User Rating: 9.1 | TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator PC
I have always been a fan of race titles and i must say that TOCA series are as beautiful and enjoying as a good race simulator should be. As in the previous Toca title u take on the roll as a young and promosing driver looking for sponsors who are giving u the chance to prove worthy their sponsorship. Positive: + Toca race driver 2 is like toca1 on steroids, better graphics, better handeling of the cars and the multiplayer function is a great improvment. with a raiting system that starts at 1500 and then depending on how u perform u get more if u finish better and less if u loose, fair and square. + As mentioned the graphics got a facelift, cars are modeled with more polygons, textures are clearer, and the tracks has more detail. Everything looks really nice. One thing doh, is that there where no mirrors in the retail version but that has been implented with a patch recently. + The developers really listen to their fans via their support board where u as the player can wish for features in the upcoming patch. Negative: - You are not able to mess with setting for your car like dampers, spring strength and so on in the career mode. might sound silly but it actually not lets u tweak the car so it fits your driving style. This on the other hand is possible in the "simulation" section of the game. - You are not able to use the "pro-simulation" driving style in career,it is harder but makes the driving more accurate if experienced with a wheel. Value: To call it "The ultimate raceing simulator" is not a good thing to do when u are limited to a default car setting in the career mode but the great multiplayer function, simulator mode and beautiful graphics make this race title an enjoying and great race game that i am going to have fun with many times.
