Is too arcade. MS Precision Racing is even more realistic. If feels like your car is on a rail. Also, the car would always spin the same way as long as you got one of the wheel on the grass. It does not matter you are driving fast or slow. The sound is terrible. While a 900 hp engine is behind you, the engine sounds like it is coming from a distance. You don't hear the sound of the wind or the tire rolling. > While i am waiting for gp3 i am considering buying > Monaco grand prix racing sim 2. > Can anyone give me a short review? > Is it wort buying? > Realism? > What is your opinion on this game?

The sound is truly jacked up. Fades in and out on 3 tracks off the top of my head. Brazil going through the Senna 'S', Argentina at the chicane that goes downhill before the last turn, and Spa going down the old Start/Finish Line. The AI is so-so, the Minardi's tend to act real weird when you are lapping them often causing crashes. But as long as you are not lapping anyone they don't seem to consistently make any totally stupid moves. The rear tires spin too much when you accelarate from a slow turn. Or, let's just say they spin disproportionately easy compared to the AI. Contrary to what you hear from some, the car (at least with all aids off) does not feel like it's on rails. You can step the rear end out and recover. In fact, I slide the rear end all the way through one section at Jerez lap after lap. Also, many here believe GPL is accurate in this regard, and it may be for 1967, but in F1 in 1997, as I understand it, you can't step the rear end out much at all without looping it, and comparatively speaking the car would feel like it's on rails. Is it great? No.... Is it good? Yes... Is it necessary? Only if you are an F1 sim *** and you just can't get into GPL. As soon as you buy it you have to go get a patch. > While i am waiting for gp3 i am considering buying > Monaco grand prix racing sim 2. > Can anyone give me a short review? > Is it wort buying? > Realism? > What is your opinion on this game?

I like Monaco GP Racing 2, it is not the best, but I had more fun in it that GP2. I like riding those curbs :)

Oh yeah you remind me of that wheelspin. The wheelspin in MGPR2 seems to be too excessive. I spin it a lot easier than GP2. Car tends to want to spin out, but then the car is very easy to catch compare to GPL. In GPL, I can never catch it if I lose it out of a slow corner without release the throttle (or in GT2's case, i just keep the pedal to the metal and save it like that)

I find that the wheelspin totally ruins the game. No matter how fine I try to accelerate out of a corner, I either get loads of wheelspin, or no acceleration. There is no "between" at all. So I'm forced to use traction help. I never have problems in other sims with finding a fine line, and I tried all settings. Also the behaviour of the car on the exit-curbs is totally rudiculous, the spins are more "canned" than in GP2. You simply can never catch them, they always end up the same.

Simple, trash trash trash--F1RS is better. Graphics are good sound is horrible driving so-so. Brad > While i am waiting for gp3 i am considering buying > Monaco grand prix racing sim 2. > Can anyone give me a short review? > Is it wort buying? > Realism? > What is your opinion on this game?
