Gameplay

GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience was a racing game similar to the series Real Racing , especially Real Racing 3 and the second installment in the Gameloft racing series as a continuation of GT Racing: Motor Academy . It provided 67 licensed cars from more than 30 manufacturers and 13 tracks. The single player mode included real controller ghosts similar to RR3. The single player mode was divided into 7 levels. Just like in RR3, you needed special cars to finish specific levels. You could upgrade your car, and needs real-time and mechanical time, but it didn't take time or cost to repair cars unlike RR3.

In multiplayer you were able to compete against other players from all over the world and create teams. There were more than 1,400 events in total with modes such as classic races, duels, knockout and overtaking. New challenges were added weekly. There were different weather conditions, driving aids and customization options.

Some of the tracks that were included are:

Manufacturers

Vehicles

Compact Showdown

Factory Championship

Street Sport Series

Exotic Sport Clash

Track Performance Club

Race-Tuned Competition

Legendary Club

Reception

Derek C. Tillotson of Gamezebo gave the game 4 out of 5 stars and stated, "Despite its lack of price tag, this one is well worth a shot for those open to a new racing experience, this one is well worth a shot. It has all the elements and polish that those titles do. Not original, but still fun." [2] Jon Mundy of Pocket Gamer gave the game 4 out of 5 stars and stated, "GT Racing 2 is a slightly less dazzling with a marginally less obnoxious IAP system. It's a very good racing game, and a great showcase for newer Apple hardware." [3]
