The accelerometer works well for nippy front wheel drive cars with improved handling, and it also opens up the possibility of taking over the accelerator as well as the brakes, if you're feeling dextrous. We say almost, because it never quite feels like you're using the ideal setup once you deactivate the assists (which any serious gamer should do post-haste). The handling is fine, with a range of control options providing an almost-good-enough experience regardless of your preference. Here too you take control of a vast roster of sporty cars, each superbly rendered, and guide them around a series of beautifully lit console-esque tracks. Right down to the fact that a probably divisive freemium payment structure takes the shine off an otherwise pristine racing experience. It might as well have, though, because this is very much in the mould of Firemonkeys's high-end racing simulator. Of course, Gameloft couldn't call this sequel to its 2010 original ' The Real Racing Experience', because that would make it sound too much like Real Racing. Twice.įortunately, GT Racing 2 is far more about motorsport wish-fulfilment than it is the pains of everyday car ownership - but it does feel a little like hard work at times. In my dozen or so years of driving, 'the real car experience' involves dodgy electrics, oil spillages, head gasket failures, and limping home from Cornwall in engine safety mode.

The Real Car Experience, eh? That doesn't sound too good.
