I know this game is a sim, and a sim is a sim is a sim. Some sims can be nothing but stats like baseball or plotting a course underwater in a submarine. Aside from what other sims are I actually drive cars and this game is definitely not a sim. My friend has a Lotus Elise and races SECCA. The fact is that you can swing a 180 turn doing over 40 mph. This game says that if you don't almost stop while turning you will not make the turn. As far as the Porshe, Ferrari, and other dream cars I can't personally attest to how they handle, but they just don't feel right. Another lacking area is the sound. While Acid Loops are cool music sometimes, when you can TELL it's an Acid Loop it's not good music. I really don't believe all the engine sounds and what the heck is the clunking noise while driving, did I leave something in the trunk unsecure? Now onto the graphics. My P4 3.0 (OC 3.4) 2 gig ram and 256mg 7800gt actually handled it all pretty well. It did get sloppy if 10 cars were piling up but otherwise it was pretty smooth. The cars look good, the pavement looks good, everything else is a little void of detail. If you haven't already purchased a good racing game AKA TOCA 3, then definitely buy it before you purchase GTR2. TOCA is as much of a sim as you want or as arcade style as you can handle. GTR2 just comes up a little short on the wow factor after the start up. Also a MOMO Racing wheel is a must. I live and die by mine. The feedback effects on GTR2 are top notch.
Personally I have been a fan of the GTR series since it was realeased but I finally feel the series has reached the zenith of motoring simualtion. I understand that this game is not for everyone but for a driving enth... Read Full Review
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
