Leaves the competition on the starting grid!
GTR2 is simply amazing. If you have a decent PC and steering wheel then you're in for a treat. This game exudes class in all areas. The graphics are fantasic, the handling of the cars is top draw, The sense of speed is excellent. The sound is just as good as in GTR which means it has the best sound effects ever heard in a racing sim.
It takes a lot of effort and practice to become good at this game, but it never feels frustrating, I've spent hours driving around the same track in practise mode attempting to shave those vital hundredths of a second off my lap times. There is soo much fun to be had in simply driving the wide selection of cars around the many tracks on offer. The AI cars are fun to race against and display a decent level of racecraft without being overly aggressive. The online racing can be fun and frustrating depending on the server you join. I've had some excellent online races, but they can be spoiled by the occassional person deciding to play dodgems, or the fact that everyone wants to win going into the first corner, resulting in the obligatory first corner pileup.
A steering wheel is a must to get the most from this game, I've played it with a MOMO and a Driving Force Pro and both are excellent wheels to use when playing GTR2 and they really enhance the experience.
If you have any interest in PC Racing Simulations then GTR2 is a must buy, and a yard stick by which future racing sims will be judged. A fantastic game.
