GT Racing 2: in pursuit of Real Racing 3

Today we will ride across racetracks on luxury racing car in the new racing simulator from Gameloft! creators GT Racing 2 They promise us an unprecedented realistic sensations. Whether to believe in the word so loud promises? Well, I do not. Download the game and check it out for yourself. We drove!

So realistic. Is it possible to achieve on the tablet or smartphone, if it is a racing simulator? I was skeptical, because in my mind too firmly established "standard" combination of Need For Speed, steering wheel and pedals on the PC. That's where the real realism. I install GT Racing 2 on iPad, hoping that the big screen will do the trick.

I would like to speak directly about the schedule. It really stands out. Machine and the environment look very good and already fall short of what could be seen in the Need For Speed ​​5 years ago. Thus the feeling that playing Tetris - is lost, just have to enjoy. An important point: my retirement iPad 2 copes with the game perfectly, no lags and braking.

When you first launch the campaign, we will offer to buy a car (to choose from - 3 models). Shocking details: we will have 60,000 of which will have to spend 50,000. The game promises to us, that money will earn in the race, but I will tell you honestly - improvements that need to buy before each race, seriously undermine your economy. They can not buy, but then do not be surprised, why do you keep coming last.

In addition to gold coins, we have a green dollar. They will be at the start of 100. They spent some improvements before the start or in the garage, on the opening of new events (to open company the next level you need to take a very long race... or pay), and even for many of things. It is these green dollars and are built shopping. You do not think that you got a free game without the ubiquitous app purchases?

Once you go on the road - GT Racing 2 will begin to resemble the NFS Shift. I believe that part of a single failure in the entire series, but you can not agree with me - it's a matter of taste. There is a path along which we must move, and the voice on the radio strongly advised not to push and not undercut rivals, plus a lot of runs on the race track and control of the machine, this is the "realism" slightly difficult - is to go into a skid, and more than a minute to straighten the car unrealistic. If you prefer the "dirty" street racing with dashing drifts, cutoffs and dismantling - best download Asphalt from the same Gameloft.

There is no doubt pleased that the selection of cars and tracks are simply huge (as in the screenshot above you see is what you will find at the end of the campaign - tempting, is not it?). But they are all, as you might have guessed, will be worth the money or the incredible effort. 36 stars needed to open a second (!) The level of the campaign. First place in the race - 3 stars. Think for yourself.

So to summarize. GT Racing 2 - really high-quality, sophisticated game made on the conscience. Music, menu, design tracks, cars - all at a very high level, there is a stable operating mode of network game. However, do not be misleading word "FREE" - this is not free. To enjoy the race on Lamborgini or Bugatti - sooner or later you have to make a "built-in purchase." On the other hand, expect absolutely free from play this level - at least naive. The choice is yours. If you, fellow riders, already played in GT Racing 2 - share your impressions in the comments.
