Considering the current lack of realistic looking racing games on Switch, Gear Club Unlimited 2 does manage to stand out. Whilst the load times are problematic, the core driving gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable and for that reason alone is worth considering.

It could be worse, I guess. Gear.Club Unlimited 2 could’ve suffered from the same fate as Asphalt Injection and been grind-heavy and ugly. Instead, you’ve got a game that’s just grind-heavy and boring. It works, which is nice, but with these load times, working feels like the least the game should do. The best games have some kind of exciting spark to them, and that’s one thing Gear.Club Unlimited 2 completely lacks.

While Gear.Club Unlimited 2 seems to have a bit more to offer compared to its first Nintendo Switch release, unfortunately it is still lacking in the excitement department that other racing games have. There were not a lot of cars to choose from, the races felt slightly repetitive, and the long loading times were brutal. On the other hand, Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is decent on its own and can be exciting for new racers. However, if you want something more stimulating and comparable to previous racing game experiences, you may want to wait until a more cohesive and complete game is released.

It is a solid racing game for Switch players, and is often on sale, so you can pick it up for a very decent price. There is a wide variety of cars to obtain in the game, and the customization capabilities are quite fun to play around with, like when customizing liveries and designs on your cars. The story is decent, albeit somewhat lacking compared to other racing games such as the Need For Speed games. The actual tracks you race on are fun, although get quite repetitive after awhile. The tracks add-on, which adds on circuit races such as Le Mans, add more fun to the game, giving you something else to do once you've beat the main story. The graphics are very decent for the Switch. The clubs are a fun online aspect to the game, where you and your club race in time trials to gather points for your club. Onto what I don't like about the game: It crashes and closes, a lot! One time I played it, and it crashed seven times in one day, whether it be while I was upgrading my car, or actually racing. If this problem was fixed, I'd be happy to raise my rating, but it gets annoying when the game crashes so often.

Quickly boring and gameplay is not very challenging.
I really hoped to like it, but it's just very average. Graphics are okay, but honestly it's not that important on the Nintendo Switch, so in the end I can't recommand this game.

There are certainly some shadows that must be taken into account, like the lack of an online multiplayer mode, a subpar art or the limitations in a world that had the potential to be pretty much open. Still, we cannot deny that it remains as one of the most addictive driving games due to its structure and an overall improvement on the vehicles.The lack of a traditional online multiplayer mode.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a racing and simulation game with strong arcade inspiration. Despite its graphic limitations and low optimization, the title allows us to manage our club, workshop and cars like no other game on Nintendo Switch.

Now, listen. I'm assessing a game in 2020 and there has been a huge improvement. And I mean it. Playing this game is fun, loading times are fine, no input lag, handling is very responsive, it has its own car physics that you have to get used to, but other than that, man. I really appreciate that game now. It's very fun and I'm giving it 10/10 because, once you get used to it, it's just great. There's nothing I would change there. The driving physics is awkward, between a simulation and arcade, but once you master that, there's nothing more satistying than drifts and taking over in this game. I'm surprised to be saying that, but I love it. Attention: don't ever buy the first one. The gap between those two is HUGE.

Depois de algumas atualizações o jogo melhorou e teve bastante conteúdos novos , pena que não colocaram a opção de replay e nem poder visualizar o carro quando olha para trás .

Overall, Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a half-decent attempt at a big-budget style racing sim, but falls short in too many areas to be considered a serious contender. Whilst it offers moments of enjoyment in between those pesky loading screens, the game’s greatest strength is the lack of competition it faces from other racing sims on the platform. So, if Nintendo Switch is your only console and you happen to be a massive petrol head, then Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is worth considering. Everyone else should probably steer clear.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a quick sequel that only marginally improves on its underwhelming predecessor. Any forward strides are largely undone by unresolved issues from last year and some new performance problems.

While Gear Club Unlimited 2’s offerings are considerably thin in comparison to its competitors, it’s approachable gameplay, customizable controls, and emphasis on group play make it a considerable choice for the Nintendo Switch.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 was supposed to be an improvement over the first iteration of the game, and clearly it isn't as all the flaws are still there, but with new ones added like a massive input lag.

The console can do much better than Drive.Club Unlimited 2. This is just unacceptable.

This is a poor looking game with a poor frame rate and long load times for EVERYTHING. We need a quality racing game on switch that isn't Mario kart but this game isn't it. Even at 50% off I'd say skip it. Eventually we will get a passable racing game on the switch.

Loading times take forever, lot game crashes. Some cars are nightmare to play due to horrible handling, you will be rewinding dozen of times only to get through one curve. Opponent cars all have weight of a tank and will send you flying if you even touch them. Boring level design. Same garage as in previuos game. Only few customisation options for cars if any. Nice feature with daily online races and clans, but there are like 50 active players left. Real PvP racing never released, its says "coming soon" forever. I had some fun with sticker creator and online mode, so i don´t give it a 0 but 2. Too bad switch still does not have good racing games, except for mario cart 8.
SummaryOn the mountainside, through a nature park, in the middle of the desert or along the coast, defend your position over the course of more than 250 races, including championships, missions and challenges. As you progress through the races, admire the growing collection of cars in your personal garage. Gear.Club Unlimited 2 has more than 50... Read More
