racing games gt racing 2: the real car experience

GT Racing 2 sadly isn’t as graceful in this department, but makes another strong case for IAP-driven games: if you can package high production values and plenty of content to enjoy, releasing a game for free helps create a large player base that makes for a better multiplayer experience, and for many, that’s worth spending on, mid-game or otherwise. DT2 actually allowed players to dig deep into the game without having to reach for their wallet with every new round, and instead made purchases feel like a fun bonus. However, I wasn’t immediately disheartened: after all, Madfinger Games’ recent release Dead Trigger 2 managed to do the microtransaction dance without stepping on budget-conscious players’ toes. As it turns out, their latest title, GT Racing 2 is a production of epic proportions, with plenty of locations and licensed cars to play with, and - unfortunately - IAPs to deal with too. When I heard that Gameloft was making a new racer, I wondered what they’d get up to after the incredibly fun Asphalt 8.
