Even better than Sony or EA's Formula One games
For starters there's various mods available-you can even have the V8 supercars . Plus the graphics are impressive and the physics are authentic-so a GT car in GTR 2 will handle just as good as one in the real world. That's impressive compared to other games licensed by the FIA-eg. the EA or Sony F1 series of games (PC, the latter for Sony consoles). The range of cars is respectable-featuring famous names such as Porsche or fast and furious Ferraris and BMW's just to name a few. You can race on famous tracks like Spa, Monza, Imola and Barcelona.
It's best played using a racing wheel for absolute precision and control-like the G25 or Formula Vibration wheels from Logitech. Oh and make sure you have a good graphics card-I suggest at least a Geforce 7 or ATI X series card for impressive visuals. Also you have multiplayer available and a bonus why not challenge a friend in the grueling 24-hour race mode. One more thing-you can comprehensively analyze your GTR cars perfomance by using Motec's i2 Pro software-that's something a PS2 or PS3 game can't do unlike on a PC. In all-I recommend GTR2 to fans of other games that feature other types FIA car like Formula One but would like a challenging racing game that will provides hours of endless fun.
