Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Reviews
Gear.Club Unlimited 2 has one major point in its favour, thanks to the dearth of racing simulations on the Nintendo Switch which makes this game one of its rare examples. Its origins on mobile devices are showing, though, and they become too big to overlook on a game which should be more advanced than that, especially when Gear.Club Unlimited 2 has a thorough career mode and an enjoyable multiplayer, but its long loading times, subpar audio environment and high price don't help.

GCU2 doesn't stand a chance against its competitors, but it works for the Switch.
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.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 isn't a bad game by any means. Like its predecessor, it's a competent racing game on a console that has a racing sim drought, but I was just expecting a bit more. As a big fan of racing games, both sim and arcade, it's hard to recommend at full price. And if the developers intend on making a third entry in the franchise, I hope that they take a long look at how to innovate this series, rather than iterate it.
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.
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.
The Gear Club Unlimited series could be a top-level racer and dominate that scene on the Switch for years to come. But until they find a way to make it feel more than a large-scale mobile game, it’s impossible to recommend to anyone who isn’t desperate for a handheld racer not named Mario Kart.
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.

A huge improvement from the original Gear.Club Unlimited 2.

A year's worth of patches and DLC has transformed Gear.Club Unlimited 2 into an improvement over its predecessor in some areas.
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.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Ultimate Edition has a good Career mode, with plenty of races and events and a little bit of story, but it is far from enough to rescue its incredibly sub-par gameplay, to the point that it is uncapable of conveying any emotion. And the game doesn't fare much better graphically, with poor textures and unstable frame rates. A pity, given the resume of the developer.

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