GTR EVOLUTION REVIEWS PC

GTR 2 comprehensively addresses the accessibility issue, while doing nothing that might displease the hardcore following. Sadly, the PC’s finest racing game was also its least accessible.

Where Gran Turismo and Forza were welcoming, easing you in with slower cars, easy championships and generous driving aids, GTR sent the message “get good or get out”. For every motorsports fan that found in GTR the answer to his or her prayers, several others found it just too much like hard work. Playing GTR and winning took real nerve, real concentration and days of mastering driving technique.Īnd this – its biggest strength – was ironically its biggest weakness. Playing Gran Turismo was tough, but you could scrape by after a couple of hours. GTR Racing felt scarily real, its handling so fiercely demanding that it made you understand the gulf between racing a supercar on a TV screen and trying to keep the beast on-track in real life. No matter how much Kazunori Yamauchi spouted on about the realism of Gran Turismo 4, nothing on a console could hope to match Simbin’s real-world physics masterclass running on a high-end Athlon 64.
