Gameloft's GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience comes packed with a sense of familiarity. As I sat down to play my first race, I caught myself ignoring most of the tips and guides. I hardly read anything while navigating the menus because everything was laid out in the way I expected. When the game was walking me through my first car purchase, I breezed through it because it felt like I had done it all before.

In fact, I had done it all before. In sports, coaches usually operate under the idea of "if it works, we'll keep doing it until it fails." With GT Racing 2, Gameloft has shown commitment to that plan, and everything works the way it's expected. Right from the start, if you've played any other recent racer, such as , you'll know what to expect. In some cases, such extreme familiarity can lead to a game's demise. GT Racing 2 is polished and fun enough to overcome this obstacle.
