on his conclusions, however. Most of us are not going
to purposely try to push a car through the corner, just
a enjoying the sim by trying to be realistic thing, I'd
say. But he has discovered several points that are not
up to the hard test of reality.
I think he is kidding himself if he thinks that ICR2 is
any different, overall. It has just as many little
warts.
Bottom line, I say...SO WHAT!!!
GP2 is better looking, sound better, more fun, more
exciting, more competitive (AI), more accessable to
more people, and is one hell of a product.
I have both and I like both. I'm not going to
return ICR2 because GP2 is out, nor would I return
GP2 because you can do some clearly unrealistic things
and "get away with it".
These are both fine sims, each has strengths and
weaknesses.
