The automotive world has a special gap in video games, but the fact that this gap is always occupied by cars or other four-wheeled vehicles is damaging to motorcycles. We have great articles to enjoy what it is to drive at great speed with them, not only that, but we also have some observers who want the truth and facts others want to impress us by driving an arcade like Forza Horizon. .
However, if we start looking at the options available where motorcycles are sponsors, the reality is that the offer is greatly reduced. This time is where this is TT Isle Of Man Ride Edge 2, developed by the KT Racing studio, focusing on the latest models WRC 8, with which he had hit the nail on the head. This new TT Isle of Man is proving to be proof of its previous delivery and far from reducing the edge to maintain the same formula with a smaller facelift, the fact that it wants to have the highest demand and win in every respect.
For those outside of world motorcycles, the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is the most famous and dangerous race in the world. For more than 60 kilometers of freeway and in 14 days the participating pilots must run on regular closed lanes for traffic, all of which mean that passenger cars and other standard vehicles rotate around them throughout the year.
Will this new TT Isle of Man Ride on Edge 2 be the best choice for motorcycle enthusiasts? Continue reading to find out.
Technical section
Analyzing the technical section of this new TT Isle of Man 2 should make us split into two completely different parts: cycles where we will fight our competitors and bicyclists. As was the case with the previous installment, the Isle of Man and its more than 60 kilometers of roads are repeated in 1: 1 scale, with all the details like the piano, the drums and the rest, which in a sense the studio work is just crazy.
We will not only travel to the island, and will also have the opportunity to pass on to other mythological scenes of Great Britain, so in this sense we will have many options. Now, since we're used to other types of driving games, we may be missing some of the standard circuit options, as there may be a Moto GP licensed game.
However, once we get to the controls for the first time we will see that we are experiencing a completely different motorcycle game. Driving with very powerful models at speeds over 200 km / h on winding roads and narrow roads is just an experience. We will have as many cameras we have to enjoy the experience as we want, and even though from the outside the game looks pretty good from a helmet camera where the game shows its incredible beauty.
In terms of motorcycles, the game takes a lot of quality in comparison to its previous installations, so we'll see how they are reproduced in a more sensible way. The 17 baskets we will have for this game will be very popular among motorcycle enthusiasts and its distinctive features will be best exemplified to the extent of recognition in its operation.
The physics of the game is taking another step forward, but here are some of the best and shades nonetheless. When controlling various bicycles we will see how they actually behave, and how a small mistake like touching a little grass can cost us dearly. On the contrary we have seen that physics of collision and in particular the fall has been renewed in some way and they left a slight taste when we dived.
The sound stage is undoubtedly one of the strengths of the game, and that's it TT Isle of Man 2 is a game to be played with beautiful headsets. When we drive at high speeds we also hear how the wind blows us into the helmet and it is a low-key feeling. Of course the sound of motorcycles is repetitive and physical of these and their effect is not disappointing. Finishing the game comes entirely in Spanish, no doubt a plus.
Gameplay
It should be clear that this is TT Isle of Man is not for everyone, and its game is in high demand. We are ahead of the game where given the morphology of the roads and the small cycles where we will run any mistake we will be compensated for a fall that will take a lot of time. Asphalt will sometimes be much smaller and we will have to speed up the road as walls or grass can give us more than headache if we forget to break through the 10th turn.
The game, of course It is a very flexible way of organizing our driving experience, and that we can adjust resources in the main menu at any time to stop the competition. We will have 4 pre-configured modes to choose where programs such as ABS, the drag controller or the binding method will have different or less "grace" settings with the player. If we like, we can build our own personalized system where we can customize each help parameter as we please.
Multiplayer game types
One of the biggest problems the first TT Isle of Man experienced was the lack of content and game modes, and this problem has been solved in this new installment (at least in part). As far as the player's knowledge we will have Dropdown mode (which we will talk about later), Speed Race, Time trial mode and Free Driving mode are always fun, which will allow us to enjoy the rest of the map by setting parameters such as time of day, weather or temperature.
While it is true that in single-player mode we have many options, the multiplayer feature of the title is less adulterous. We would be happy to drive with a friend with the same local console or go to multiplayer online, which will give us the opportunity to create public and private games. In this respect we miss many game modes or are able to enjoy free driving with a friend, which is undoubtedly a great detail.
The real protagonist: The mode of work
Speaking of game modes, the true star of this Isle of Man 2 is undoubtedly its Career mode. In a few words we can say that this new version of Tasks takes many attributes the same mode it had from the previous delivery and multiplied by 3. Our goal, logically, will be to participate in the competition that gives its name to the game. In this case we will have a calendar where we have to participate in different exams and gain reputation, money and benefits.
On our trip we were able to get acquainted with the various motorcycles available, in addition being able to sign up for a professional team that will give us various rewards as we meet their goals. Our opportunities do not end there, and we can reach the Zone Zone where we will have to complete a series of tests along the Isle of Man road. All our progress will help us earn money and fame so we can refine our bikes and increase their performance.
This game mode is unquestionably the one that is built with the most care and the most hours will allow us to enjoy the command, but it leaves a little to be desired. At a certain moment the game experience becomes a fantasy race sequence and that it doesn't bring him too many tricks for the player to keep him interested in continuing the season and season.
Time
Game time like TT Isle of Man 2, with the experience and options it offers, is very automatic. It's a game we can have out there and devote 1 or 2 hours to it when we feel like getting on one of our motorcycles and enjoying a more satisfying drive. The multiplayer also allows us to play with a friend or family member on the same console or enjoy online friends, and this certainly gives the game more hours of life.
Talking about the player experience that gives us care mode, we can easily talk about 15-20 hours of play, and that without having to consider your driving rate. This Isle of Man is highly sought after and can make you lose your patience once because a small mistake is too expensive. Special note to the anonymous competition of the game, whose average length is 400 km to 600 depending on the category you participate in. Get ready for an entire hour on the bike.
Conclusion
The suggestion that this Isle of Man 2 gives us is undoubtedly better than the first game, and surely everyone who enjoyed it at the time should try it. Improved design of bicycles added to improving Trajectory mode will please two-wheeled car lovers. You are one of those games that will make you play to improve and become better in each race.
However, all of these new game capabilities are rife with lack of mode selection, some collision issues and the small emergence of star mode through the hours. Of course, we'll never forget that TT Isle of Man 2 is a simulator, so those looking for a "friendly game" and just a fun game can be very frustrated and leave the title after a few hours of playing.
