Super Woden GP 2

ABOUT THE BEST TOP DOWN RACING. BETTER CONTROL THAN OTHER ARCADE RACERS, NOT TOO SLIDEY. PLENTY OF TRACKS , ABOUT 35. VERY COMPPLETE GAME FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY.

Le jour où on saura quelle voiture prendre pour participer à une course, j'y rejouerai, en attendant, je ne perds pas mon temps à deviner quelle voiture est dans quelle catégorie ... Sérieux ...

I learned about the Woden series on another game's discord channel and instantly fell in love. I had been playing the GP2 demo a long time, then I bought both 1+2 in a bundle sale before rally came out. Been 100%ing SWGP1 (which took one hell of a time...) but I felt I owed it to the dev to show my commitment, because T H E S E - - G A M E S - - R U L E !! The intended camera took me back to the 90s, where this was top of the notch graphics (well, more pixalized of course). The camera adds to a certain difficulty, which ultimately will make you memorize the track layout (hello there ID) - but thanks to the minimap it's easier to anticipate the corners. Each car feels different and it's so much fun winning with a 2nd grade car (according to values) because its behaviour just feels so much more natural compared to the others (I'm talking Japan vs France BTC :D). Also, and I know that I'm not alone with this, the GT-like menu adds another layer of nostalgia. Compared to SWGP1 the graphic has increased a ton! The tracks look more realistic, the surroundings rushing over bridges with water below is stunning, plus: the lighting effects are incredible. Those have been nice in GP1 already, but depending on angle to your front opponent their cars throw different shadows. Tracks that have been available in GP1 now look way different - to a degree that you can't just copy the driving style from the first part. But that isn't a bad thing if you can cope with changes, even less coming to GP2 without prior experience. Because in SWGP2 the tracks actually have angles and pivot points. There are ovals where you'll nearly slide around the corners going on the inside; there are shicanes that have a difference in altitude where it will really matter on how you tackle each corner to not fly off, and - guess what? The LIGHTING on those levels is par excellence! Shadows are cast long and narrow going over bumps. It's incredible. If you'd ask me on a scale from 1 to 10 whether to get this, I'd say this is a straight 15. So get it! Edit: forgot to mention the one little bummer this game gives me. For all of its retro graphics, I can't run it fluently on my laptop without the 300W power cord connected. It apparently needs more GPU input than I'd believed. =)

I wish we have more games like this

It's like if Gran Turismo and Neo Drift had a baby.

challenging driving, excellent graphics, excellent soundtrack. Reminds me of Auto Modellista with the graphics

goated game lowk recommend though i hate how musscle cars handle in it, family / 10 would highly recommend
