TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 Reviews
For those who enjoyed the original TT Isle of Man, the sequel Ride on the Edge 2 raises the stakes with an improved career mode that delivers a more immersive experience. Sign with a manufacturer to get access to their livery, then proceed to unlock perks and part upgrades to enhance the performance of those bikes with each successive race. Newcomers can easily pick up and learn the ropes while making good progress on the stat sheets thanks to the arcade-like controls that don't make the racing experience too complicated, unlike the more realistic sim racer. However, beyond the career mode, there is a basic online mode to further gain some racing experience. While this isn't the premium two-wheeled racer on consoles, it is a step in the right direction for Kylotonn.
TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge 2 improves on some aspects of its predecessor and makes the experience more accessible to new players. Unfortunately it doesn't keep a consistent record on its improvements and due to a rather poor visual performance (in contrast with its slick audio component) lack of variety on racing tracks and rewards that don't provide much in terms of motivation, this sequel doesn't represent a significant improvement over the original.

Nintendo Switch gets a realistic and exciting entry in the motor racing genre.

This is a very weak porting of a good racing game. Nintendo Switch isn't the right console for TT Isle of Man 2.

TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 is a good game, but maybe not so much for the Switch's limited Joy-Cons. I feel gamers shouldn't have to fight the controls to get a game to feel right.
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 is best suited for those that either are already decent with sim racers or who want to push themselves to be better through self-abuse. Either way, it's not the best pickup if you're looking for a casual bike racing experience.

Fast and dangerous, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a plain package but boasts some top-notch two-wheeled racing.
Given the general lack of racers on the Switch with every release of a title in the genre there are sure to be people who are curious about it...
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is still a good game, but some twitchy handling and framerate issues somewhat compromise the Nintendo Switch experience. [OpenCritic note: Gary Bailey separately reviewed the Xbox [7] and Switch [5] versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
It feels like a budget offering, and yet, TT Isle of Man 2 nails the fear and exhilaration of riding a motorbike like few games in memory.
Overall though TT Isle Of Man 2 offers up a much improved experience over its predecessor. While it still remains a challenging and at times frustrating game to play through, there’s enough improvements to make it worth jumping back into to check out. If you’re on the fence then it’s worth a rental and just like driving itself, eventually it’ll click and the experience is unlike other motorcycle sims out there. It’s not perfect, and the long loading screens and steep learning curve will almost certainly be tall towers to climb but if you can persevere and make it to the summit, there’s a decent enough view that’s worth holding out for.
This is how motorbike games should be done. First instalment of TT Isle of Man had good foundations, but number two significantly improved on these. The developers worked on a proper feeling from speed and created pretty solid racing that tolerates little and doesn't excuse any mistakes. If you like challenges, this is a game for you. Just expect worse graphics. And there could also be more content available.

TT isle of man 2 might not stand out from other similar titles or satisfy the speedsters who expect an arcade style racing game but the sequel has definitely been improved from the original. TT series games can actually let you experience how much of a realistic and dangerous motor racing it could be by the fantastic visual and audio effects when you've hit top speed. Career mode will give you the closest experience of being a competitive racer and most motorbike enthusiats will appreciate the detail the game has implemented.

Marginal improvements over its previous entry puts Ride on the Edge 2 in a tight spot. It’s needlessly grindy and still lacks focus on whether it wants to focus on a more simulation-oriented audience or a more arcade-like experience. Sadly, with Isle of Man TT cancelled, this might be the best thing this year.

The TT Isle of Man 2 race shows you why they are both deadly and tempting at the same time.

We are facing a title closer to simulation than arcade, but with a maximum requirement. It is true that the more we play, the more comfortable we will feel at the controls, but even so it is not for all audiences. Lovers of this competition will be the ones who will get the most performance and enjoyment.

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a celebration of speed. It has some minor issues, but its driving model is enjoyable like no other game. However, although it's a top tier game in its genre, that alone isn't enough for a better score.

In TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2, the updated graphics are visual and the upgraded physics and gameplay make this game a really fun and challenging title for all die-hard race fans.
While realistic simulators like TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 may not be for everyone, I would suggest at least checking it out if you’re interested in something new and different. Amazing in the visuals department, there’s an accessibility to the entry that curbs that steep learning curve that would otherwise exist allowing people not familiar with the style to get just as much enjoyment as those riding up near the top and looking for new challenges that the latest entry provides.
