TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2

Fast and dangerous, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a plain package but boasts some top-notch two-wheeled racing.

A handful of improvements and overhauled physics make this audaciously exciting bike sim easy to recommend.

Motorcycle simulations really haven't ever taken off in video games, but since racing games are at their peak in today's world, there is certainly a market for it.

TT Isle of Man 2 is undoubtedly better than its predecessor in every way. The developers at KT Racing have significantly refined the driving model and improved the career mode in many respects. However, the series still has a few shortcomings that slightly detract from the overall experience. Despite this, it’s a great game that should be a staple in any racing simulator enthusiast’s library.

For those who enjoyed the original TT Isle of Man, the sequel Ride on the Edge 2 raises the stakes with an improved career mode that delivers a more immersive experience. Sign with a manufacturer to get access to their livery, then proceed to unlock perks and part upgrades to enhance the performance of those bikes with each successive race. Newcomers can easily pick up and learn the ropes while making good progress on the stat sheets thanks to the arcade-like controls that don't make the racing experience too complicated, unlike the more realistic sim racer. However, beyond the career mode, there is a basic online mode to further gain some racing experience. While this isn't the premium two-wheeled racer on consoles, it is a step in the right direction for Kylotonn.

TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge 2 improves on some aspects of its predecessor and makes the experience more accessible to new players. Unfortunately it doesn't keep a consistent record on its improvements and due to a rather poor visual performance (in contrast with its slick audio component) lack of variety on racing tracks and rewards that don't provide much in terms of motivation, this sequel doesn't represent a significant improvement over the original.

Nintendo Switch gets a realistic and exciting entry in the motor racing genre.

TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 is a good game, but maybe not so much for the Switch's limited Joy-Cons. I feel gamers shouldn't have to fight the controls to get a game to feel right.

This is a very weak porting of a good racing game. Nintendo Switch isn't the right console for TT Isle of Man 2.
