Game Modes

Arcade Extreme
GTR Evolution will come with new game modes, of which the Arcade Extreme game mode is the most noticable. In this mode the emphasis is shifted from realism to action and fun. This is done by implementing more and bigger backfires, damage and debris and easier physics.

Added Championship functionality
Other news is the added material to Championship and Custom Championship. These new options allow for full integration of the GT cars now and offer the possibility of running a endurance championship as well as a touring car championship. Functionality is added to the Custom Championship as well, allowing to player to mix in the GT cars and WTCC Extreme cars with the other content.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Race 07, this is for you but it's not GTR2, September 23, 2008

This review is from: GTR Evolution (DVD-ROM)
When I saw GTR Evo at Amazon, I jumped at it thinking "Finally. An update to GTR2." I was wrong.

GTR2 is probably the best racing simulation game out there. It has all the detail and depth you might want from a simulation: the physics system is excellent, AI cars are appropriately aggressive and smart, car setup and configuration options are extremely detailed, and there is an excellent tutorial system that will educate you as a simulation racing driver. In short an excellent simulation and a must for any racing simulation fan. However, GTR2 is now several years old, so an update is possibly in order. This, unfortunately, is not it. Still, that's not all bad.

Compared to GTR2, Race and Race 07 were both good racing simulations but not designed to be as realistic as GTR2. GTR Evo is an extension of Simbin's Race and Race 07 game franchise. Like Race 07, GTR Evo takes the existing game and adds some new cars and some new tracks. (So, if you buy GTR Evo,... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Be Aware, October 24, 2008
This review is from: GTR Evolution (DVD-ROM)
GTR Evolution will install Securom copy protection software on your system.

A description of Securom by another Amazon customer:

"The primary concerns are these:

- Securom is an undocumented program that is designed to, can, and does alter the function of a computer upon which it is installed, and it is installed without the user's knowledge, consent, nor control.
- It actively runs without notice to the user, has access to the computer kernel, utilizes the user's computer resources, the user has no control over its operation, and it transmits unknown information over the user's internet connection without the user's knowledge.
- Securom installs hidden files, folders, and undeletable registry entries upon execution, but does not fully uninstall when the associated software is uninstalled.
- Securom is not named, notated nor fully documented anywhere on packaging nor digital download description at point of purchase."

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun to play, but has a convoluted implementation, November 7, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: GTR Evolution (DVD-ROM)
Since the game play details have already been extensively discussed in prior reviews here, let me discuss what I consider a major flaw in the implementation of GTR Evolution that not one reviewer has covered.

The game comes in four parts:

1) Steam
2) GTR Evolution Offline
3) GTR Evolution Online
4) Race 07 Dedicated Server

Installing ALL aspects of this game eats up approximately 9 GBs of hard drive space!

The Steam application is used to look for online games (not just GTR Evolution games) as well as chat with your buddies and everything else, except the kitchen sink (basically, it's another version of GameSpy bloatware). You MUST install Steam in order to play online.

GTR Offline only contains the game made for offline playing and there is no way to play online once you have loaded this version of the game. Instead, you have to exit the offline version and load in the online version of the game. This is a... Read more
