I haven't done much to look at forums to find out how I can unlock them, but an interface for a game should be more intuitive. The cars and the control (I use the Logitech Momo wheel) are good, but the training modules are not availabe. My biggest concern was whether it would work well on Vista, which it did for the most part. However, having played it for a month now, I have to say I am underwhelmed. How else am I supposed to get better at driving if the training environments are locked.
There are several different cars to choose from and they differ in more ways than just acceleration and top speed. I love it. I used to be a lead foot driver but this game convinced me to change my ways. But if you think downforce is what's driving our economy or caster is nothing more than a wheel for your office chair then you need to look elsewhere. The learning curve can be really daunting for anyone who isn't into racing games and only professional drivers will be able to install it and race right away.
I'm not saying this game isn't fun, I've spent three to four hours a day practicing and I've loved every minute of it. Just about every part of the car and the game can be adjusted. handling, oversteer and understeer are all very realistic and and will taunt your every move. The rest of us will need to spend a lot of time doing practice laps before we can be competitive.Definately worth the money and the time spent learing the ins and outs. Me and my fiancee are both gearheads and we both race in Auto-X events run by the SCCA and we have been having a really hard time with this one.
That said the realism is amazing. When you first start the setups are anything but ideal so expect to spend a lot of time changing the chassis to suit your style.
I doubt you will be disappointed. GTR 2 allows adjustments to so many aspects of the experience, you could be overwhelmed. This game is it. Although if you like to crash and burn and have the spectaters cheer, well okay, maybe you will like it. "GRID" has very, very limited capablilities in the use of the G25. GTR 2 is a fine product which includes an extensive training section to help you learn to drive the complex road courses. I have not, and do not intent to, race on-line, so I cannot comment on the on-line aspects, but stand alone action and realism is truly quality. "GRID" is absolutely terrible.
But, you can just select simple generic experience modes and advance from there. Ther training section is great for the beginner and helpful for all but the most experienced simulation racer. I am not an expert in auto racing simulation games, but I enjoy realism and appreciate a game that allows me to "grow" with the experience. I ordered "GRID" at the same time as I ordered GTR 2. GTR 2 makes maximum use of the features on the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel, pedals and shifter.
Great game.but be sure to have more resources than those recomended.it is pretty demanding especially if you want to take advantage of all the graphics and details. Dynamics are very good and simulation excellent.
I have a Nividia 7300GT and can play everthing on full with no lagging. My pc is 4-6 years old to.All in all I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes racing games. It takes a little while to get used to compared to other racing games. I just wish there were more American cars in this game. This game is incredible. I got this game for christmas and I tell you what. This game is so realistic. I have a Logitch G25 and I would suggest getting a logitech G25 because you can use the cluch and the 6 speed shifter.The graphics are incredible.
