Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I saw GTR Evo at Amazon, I jumped at it thinking "Finally.An update to GTR2."I was wrong.
GTR2 is probably the best racing simulation game out there.It has all the detail and depth you might want from a simulation: the physics system is excellent, AI cars are appropriately aggressive and smart, car setup and configuration options are extremely detailed, and there is an excellent tutorial system that will educate you as a simulation racing driver.In short an excellent simulation and a must for any racing simulation fan.However, GTR2 is now several years old, so an update is possibly in order.This, unfortunately, is not it.Still, that's not all bad.
Compared to GTR2, Race and Race 07 were both good racing simulations but not designed to be as realistic as GTR2.GTR Evo is an extension of Simbin's Race and Race 07 game franchise.Like Race 07, GTR Evo takes the existing game and adds some new cars and some new tracks.(So, if you buy GTR Evo, you will have all the Race 07 game features, cars, and tracks.)Anyone who is familiar with the Race franchise will feel right at home with the menus, options, and general look and feel of the game.
The additions to this game are primarily GT-class cars such as Corvette, Aston Martin, Lister Storm, and others.(Conspicuously absent are Porsches and Ferraris, both prominent in GT racing.)The game also includes some "fantasy" cars.For example, the Audi R8 supercar is included, although Audi has not confirmed racing plans for it yet.Also there is a set of WTCC Extreme cars, that give the touring cars from Race 07 600+ horsepower, just in case you wanted to know what a 600 HP front-wheel driver was like.
The game adds some new tracks and combines them with the old ones.However, there is one addition here that, by itself, is worth the price of admission: The Nurburgring.The game includes the 'Ring in all its 16-mile, 8-minutes per lap glory.This is a challenging track; sweeping curves, fast sections that drop to slow corners, the famous Karussel; it's all here.If you think you're as good as Sabine Schmidt, "Queen of the Ring", here's your chance to find out.
Like Race, GTR Evo features car setup that, while not as detailed as GTR2, allows for customizing of your car's handling and performance characteristics.GTR Evo does carry over Race 07's great preconfigured files feature, that provide a good starting setup for each individual car for each track.
Drivability is very good and the physics engine gives good approximations of real-world driving characteristics (like front-wheel drive oversteer).Simbin has improved the sound effects, adding to the realism.The AI drivers are good if not quite as aggressive as you might like.
The traditional multiplayer, championship, and practice/time attack modes are still there, with the addition of a R-Arcade quick race mode.
Bottom line: This is a good simulation for those wanting a realistic racing sim.This is a good extension of the Race franchise and fans will not be disappointed.However, hard-core racing enthusiasts may want to stick to GTR2.
