Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Reviews
Overall, Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is pretty much a missed opportunity.
GCU2 doesn't stand a chance against its competitors, but it works for the Switch.
Gear Club Unlimited 2 is an underwhelming follow-up to the first game.
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.
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.

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.

It's a shame that more time wasn't spent on Gear.Club Unlimited 2 as there are a glimmer or two of hope amongst the horror. However, appalling loading times, terrible handling, and moronic computer AI all contribute to a racing game that rolls its way off the assembly line and straight into the scrapyard.
Rather than building on the solid foundations its predecessor set last year, Gear.Club Unlimited 2 slams into reverse gear and delivers racing gameplay that feels significantly more laggy and sluggish than the original. With no attempt made to cut its remaining mobile roots and more performance issues than a drunken West End actor, we just can't recommend dropping a whopping £54.99 on this unoptimised, clunky effort.
With its clunky performance, nasty input lag, sub-par visuals, and limited creative scope, Gear Club is far from a good racing game.
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.
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.

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