ToCA Race Driver 2: Ultimate Racing simulator
If you like driving games, You owe it to yourself to GET THIS GAME! A word of warning though ~ This game ISN'T for everyone. If you looking for Rallisport type handling on the rally tracks... Sorry.PGR2 racing Gods... Your skills will not help you here.
The car handling is, in a word, realistic. Give it too much gas and you'll surely spin out. Settings are available for height, brake bias, gears, etc. Think "Grand Turismo lite" and you've just about got it. Unlike a lot of other racing games, ToCA Race Driver 2 features realistic vehicle damage. So realistic, in fact, that you can lose a race because you've totaled your ride, because of engine failure or other mechanical issues. Hit someone/something too hard and you're through, be it from a broken axle, busted wheel or straight up engine or tranny failure. It's a fantastic touch that will either frustrate you immensely or, make you take your racing seriously. Take that paint swappers on PGR2. :)
ToCA will not knock PGR2 & the upcoming RSC2 in graphics, but it does hold it's own by comparison. The graphics shine when speaking of the in-game car models. All of the vehicles look amazingly like their real-World counterparts and have that "PGR2" shine. Crashing that beautiful,shiny ride hurts ya more than it does in PGR. That speaks well for the real-time deformation. Kiss a rail/wall/other vehicle in Toca2 and it'll crush, crumple and deform like a real car would. Glass, tires and even doors will fly off the car depending on how hard you hit.
Head-to-head Xbox Live functionality.
31 licensed and fictional global race locations offering 48 tracks including
Hockenheim from the German DTM series and Surfers Paradise from the Australian V8 series.
35 high performance cars, including Ford GT, Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar XKR, Nissan Skyline GT-R and AMG-Mercedes CLK.
First person interactive story line.
Up to 21 cars on the track at once, battling for position.
All-new render engine, which allows for 60 frame per second graphics.
