Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Reviews
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.
Gear Club Unlimited 2 is a game that tries to be a simulator and an arcade racer in one. It offers a lot of cars and tracks, but has a very slow start and a faulty set of controls. Next to that the games loading times are far too long. It just frustrates.

The transition from Nintendo Switch to PCs and home consoles was unfortunately not painless for Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Ultimate Edition.

Gear Club Unlimited 2 on PS5 doesn't seem like a game from 2021 or from the current generation - but I think that's positive. It's a pure and fun arcade racer that's been solidly ported to PS5.

This game does not hide its modest aspirations at any time, but the truth is that it is quite fun and it is inevitable to run race after race to get as many credits as possible to try to improve your car or expand your fleet of racing cars. In addition, the amount of content it has ensures many hours of enjoyment on our Switch during our trips or sitting in front of our television.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a racing arcade with some obvious flaws, but it's still fun enough to keep playing. A fairly drinkable alternative, especially considering the scarcity of alternatives available in Nintendo's hybrid.

Gear Club Unlimited 2 - Porsche Edition is a solid racing game for Nintendos Switch. Is convinces with its optional motion control and also with the variety of courses and cars. It has some graphical deficits and the story is not the most innovative one I've ever seen, but all in all, the game is really fun to play.

If the technical issues with Gear Club Unlimited 2 were not an issue, the racing game would be the new racing reference on the Nintendo console. But Eden Games had probably time problems in the development and had to bring their racing game seemingly before Christmas in the shops. Even the online mode advertised in the game menu did not make it to the final game. And until now (06/01/2019), the developer has not added a patch to get the above problems under control, which will certainly not make buyers of Gear Club Unlimited 2 happier.

At the end of the day while Gear Club Unlimited 2 isn’t necessarily a great racing game I can at least respect the effort behind it. There’s certainly nothing to compete with it on the Switch, so it has that on its side, but this is hardly an experience that would do anything but get lapped by the more prestigious racers on other platforms. It is moving in the right direction and it has a feel that’s a bit more refined than a purely arcade experience but I wouldn’t quite say its in simulation territory yet, which actually helps me like it a bit more since sims usually bore me. If you’re feeling the need to hit the road it may not be a bad option, just you’ll need to be realistic with your expectations.
I really wanted to like my time with the sequel; really hoping that they would improve upon the first game. Instead, it’s slow, frustrating, and dull. For all the things the game tries to do right, there’s just more that hampers your experience. If you disliked the first game, this one will not bring you in and if you enjoyed the first, I may still pass on this unless they fix things via patches.
Those patiently waiting on a decent realistic racer on Switch, unfortunately, won’t find that in Gear.Club Unlimited 2. Its decent selection of cars, solid customization and lengthy campaign are crippled thanks to the game’s sluggish and uninspired racing, sketchy performance and horrendous load times that pop up far too frequently. The Switch may be sorely lagging in the racing department but it certainly deserves much better than this.
MEDIOCRE - Gear.Club Unlimited 2 attempted to make a console sequel from a mobile game but didn’t put in enough effort to do so. The game looks beautiful, and there is a hefty amount of content to unlock. But the heavy controls, unbearable loading times, and overall mobile feel of the game ruin what could have been an amazing experience. Oh, and it’s way too expensive for what you get.
With its clunky performance, nasty input lag, sub-par visuals, and limited creative scope, Gear Club is far from a good racing game.
