This game starts off with one of the most complete tutorials I’ve ever seen. Shameless, aren’t I? How about I move on to my actual impressions, versus factoid regurgitation? Yes, that would be for the best. This press-sheet breakdown was brought to you by the official GTR2 website and Wikipedia. It lovingly offers 144 different Grand Tourer (Gran Turismo in Italian, thus “GT”) vehicles, 34 different tracks, and six game events. So, to get the crude breakdown out of the way, GTR2 is a fully 3D racing simulation that attempts (quite successfully) to recreate the events of the GT1 and GT2 championship races that take place all over Europe. Critically, the first incarnations of this franchise ( GTR and GT Legends) seem to have succeeded, and now we get to take a look at GTR2, the latest in the series. With this in mind, it puts in perspective what a daunting task it must have been for Simbin to attempt the creation of a simulation that lives up to the name. I was certainly unprepared for the scale of it: FIA is absolutely massive and has a far larger international membership than I ever would have guessed. Not the most auspicious way to begin a review of a game that is the official simulation of the FIA GT racing league, but at least I have some small clue now. Only the heavy abuse of Google has opened my eyes. Up until I installed the subject of today’s review, I had no idea what the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) championships were.
