I can wholeheartedly say that this is the best motorbike game I’ve played. The perks in TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 can be game changers to some extent ranging from better brakes to faster pit stops, but they do seem a little counterproductive to the realism in the game. Each race will have its challenges, and the greater the difficulty, the better the reward when it comes to perks and new parts for your bike. At first, you begin with the lower level competitions and work your way up, selecting events from the race calendar. They’ll give you a bike fitted out with their custom livery and in return expect you to win some races. Even if you rode on a BMX in this game, you’d still be going ridiculously fast, and strategy is everything.Īfter cutting your teeth, a few sponsors take a liking to you and offer you a deal. Not knowing anything about bikes, I opted for a Triumph as it appeared to have the lowest specifications and also I knew that, in the olden days, T.E. Here you can view multiple stats such as power and torque through to the weight, horsepower and braking. You begin with a supersport bike, followed by classic heavier bikes and the superbike.

To get there is a feat in itself as you work your way up the ranks, signing up with new sponsors, bigger and better bikers and gain the required signatures to get your name on the roster for the main event. You begin in the lower ranks and work your way up to participate in the TT Isle of Man, and of course, win it. The career mode in TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 echoes that of other titles such as the Gran Turismo series, WRC 8 and Project CARS. It’s going to take time for them to react realistically though the number of times I crashed at over 80mph into a barrier, launching into the air to see the crowd of four or five fist bump the air made me think they’re either sadists or the technology isn’t there yet. Without having the comparison of the first instalment, TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge from KT Racing and NACON Gaming, is a well-presented game, a rare title that has pretty decent crowds rather than the horrible cut-outs you see in most games. It’s a bit like Metropolis Street Racer, only a focus on the countryside rather than the city. There’s nothing more thrilling than being able to tear it up in everyday places. While the focus is on the Isle of Man, there are other locations in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland that you can race in – all accurate portrayals of their real-life locations. Surprisingly, I didn’t get that as quick as I’d thought, but crashing 50 times in the early stages is both embarrassing and infuriating.īut first, let’s cover the general setup. There’s even a trophy awarded once you come off after the 50th time. Let me make it clear before I go on: I love almost everything about TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 except one thing: collision detection – the inevitable falling off your bike. From Tiny Country Lanes To The Main Event

It’s just a shame that it’s cancelled this year as I’ve found a new interest in the sport. That’s the nature of the competition, however, and, understandably, the TT Isle of Man draws in an international crowd. There’s no debate that these riders are the elite, but considering the risks involved, I’m surprised that there aren’t more accidents in the sport and in some areas, the races make F1 seem quite tame in comparison.
