The cars stick to the road well, are responsive to deft touches of the joy-cons and braking has seen a vast improvement – most of the time. Although a long way from the realistic driving simulators of Forza and DriveClub, the cars in GCU2 are great to handle – most of the time. Thankfully, it gives me great pleasure to report that this has been addressed. Reflecting now, I believe it is because when the game first released, I was willing it to be better than it was so that I had a great driving game for my shiny new Switch. Try as I might, I just could not play it. My personal experience of the original GCU was one where: I played it for quite some time, had some time away when other games took my intere upon my return, I could not get back into it.
The greatest scenery, the most impressive list of cars or multiple game modes cannot mask the fact that if a car doesn’t handle as it should, it very quickly becomes unplayable. In any racing simulator, arcade or not, the manner with which the car holds the road, behaves, and responds to player input is the most important element. In the year that has passed since their initial release, Eden Games and Microids have looked to right the wrongs of the original and have now released Gear Club Unlimited 2.īeginning this review with what, for me, was the most pressing concern for GCU2, I will discuss the driving mechanics. Suffering from the tarnished brush that splashes ‘port’ across all that it touches, Eden Games’ efforts were met with mixed reviews, whisperings of failed potential, and concerns over its price point. Seemingly an expansion upon the original free-to-play driving sim, Gear Club Unlimited sought to capitalize on the lack of racing simulators available on Nintendo’s hybrid console. These three pertinent points will be discussed in our review of Gear Club Unlimited 2 here at The Switch Effect.įrom the humble beginnings of Gear Club on iOS and Android in 2014, Eden Games developed and Microids published Gear Club Unlimited.
