TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 Review (CGU - Eddy)
SO I've been a fan of the TT games, ever since the original offical game came out on the ps2, I was really pleased when these guys took up the mantle and created the first version. the second version I wasnt sure on at first but grew into it and now love the game, up until they close the multiplayer and force us onto the next one. I like the series I really do, the ultimate race. Where I think the faults come is that they did such a good job first time how do you improve it? it must be really hard for developers to improve that out side of graphics and physics, the first certainly I thought they peaked.
My biggest issue by miles is that you cant play the game without registering, and from what I can tell its for no reason, so they are selling my data, as do all tech companies. this was a massive put off, I still registered so that I could play the game, and thats where my second disappointment came, ive played hundreds of hours of this game and like many tried to have the perfect lap, if you crash on the first 10-20 corners you reset, but yet on this version I found myself late braking and would still turn in too early and crash, I think its lost some of the sense of speed and realism. version 1 I was wowed by the speed, number 2 by it physics unfortunately number 3 hasnt wow'd me at all.
like any sequel it has to be an improvement on the previous, and with the high risk, high Adrenalin that is the TT I think they have missed the target. if you look at the video above these comments provided by the developer, it just doesn't put that fear in me. such a shame for some thing Ive looked so much forward to
