It’s an entirely sobering thought to remember that a similar accident in 2014 resulted in veteran rider Bob Price losing his life. It’s one thing to misjudge your braking point for Ballaugh Bridge, crash into The Raven pub and lose ten seconds respawning in the game. The game is brutally difficult because this form of racing is brutally difficult. And with no rewind feature in this game, you’ll have to learn to err on the side of caution at all times. But thanks to its decent handling model, you’ll rarely feel a mistake is anything other than your fault. You’ve got a 60km track to master – and no ‘rewind’ modeThat may make the game sound like anything but a fun time. Even with all riding assists on and the dynamic racing line to guide you – and absolute must if you aren’t already deeply familiar with the layout – you’ll find yourself falling off or crashing if you touch a kerb, lean too far in corners or even crest a hill using the wrong line. Handling-wise, TTIoM2 may not be a full-on simulation, but if you’re new to motorcycle racing or even just motorcycle games, there is zero margin for error offered in the game. Taking your pick from Supersport class bikes, more powerful Suberbikes or a handful of classic rides, you can take on the full circuit or choose to concentrate on one of 15 or so subsections of the course that developers have handily provided.Īdvert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Whether racing against AI riders over up to six laps – the length of the prestigious Senior TT – or just alone against the clock in Time Trial, the circuit itself is the centrepiece of TTIoM2. TT enthusiasts will love to see the circuit’s famous landmarks blur past, while Isle of Man rookies will struggle to believe that racing actually does take place on a circuit with as many raw hazards as this. The daunting track is the star of the gameThe fact that Kylotonn have successfully recreated the largest road course still in use today in such fidelity is an achievement in itself. The full 60km circuit is here at your disposal, from the downhill plunge to Bray Hill, to the tight right hander of Parliament Square and the Mountain Road as it winds through the stunning rolling hills. TTIoM2 allows you to experience every adrenaline-fuelled corner, every heart-stopping bump of the fabled Snaefell Mountain Course in its entirety. Not just for its deeply punishing and challenging difficulty, but because with every inevitable mistake you’ll make, it’s hard not to flinch at the thought of what the real-life consequences would be. One of the best ways to describe TTIoM2 is as the most uncomfortable racing game you’ll ever play. Is it worth a look – even for those unfamiliar with the daunting course, almost three times longer than the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife? With no real TT action for fans to enjoy, developers Kylotonn can at least offer PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC gamers an opportunity to take on the legendary road race challenge virtually with TT Isle of Man 2: Ride on the Edge. For only the second time since the end of the Second World War, there will be no TT races around the island this summer – another victim of the Covid-19 pandemic.
