I read the GS review and bought the game...only to uninstall it after a couple of days! This is not a game..it's torture

I regularly check gamespot for finding new, interesting games to buy. And yes, I do buy a lot of games. So when I saw GS gave 9.0 to this game, I thought I should buy it. I really enjoy racing games, and it's not only about arcade racers. I played Colin Mcrae Rally 2004 and 20055 and deeply enjoyed the rally racing experience. I'm also a big fan of the NFS series. Thus, despite of having preference for arcade racers, I'm still up for a little bit of realism in games. However, this game, GTR 2, really tested my patience. The controlling scheme is so complicated that it took me a while to even get the car started. Once it started, I couldn't do anything until I turned on the assists. Still, driving through the training course seemed more to me like a torture session than a fun experience.

After all, we play games for having some fun. No one plays a racing game to learn driving. I really doubt whether Colin Mcrae has ever tried playing one of these games. The graphics was good, and sounds were okay, but that's not the point. The game play is too complicated for the casual gamer. Games should have something for everyone--and GS should keep that in mind while reviewing games.

I'm very sorry, but I can't really see much reason to buy this game. The only reason for playing through this game could be that you really really want to be a F1 driver, but there's no chance in hell that you'd even get a car of your own.

    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
