To see famous tracks rebuilt so lovingly and be able to race on them yourself is truly breathtaking, especially considering the aforementioned beauty of them all. All kinds of tracks are in the game, from the International North West 200 in Northern Ireland to Sportsland Sugo in Japan, all recreated not only in terms of the tracks but also in terms of the surrounding area and all the details, like archways over the track and fences at the sides. The more important thing to note about the real world tracks in the game is are all faithful reconstructions, which is essential for fans of the sport. In short, no expense has been spared in making the experience of Ride 2's racing visually spectacular. Even the people look great along the side of the track, although we admit we didn't examine them in close detail since we were zooming past them at a very high speed. The scenery is astounding on each track, whether it be the vistas of the mountains or the metropolis of the urban circuits, and each has their own appeal and a distinct style.
It's clear visuals are a top priority in Ride 2 just as in the original, then, and this is also evident in the construction of the tracks and the world around them.
As if that wasn't enough for enthusiasts, each one has information on the make of the bike, the history behind it and the manufacturer, meaning you can actually learn a lot about bikes just from scrolling through menus in the game. Each bike is lovingly crafted with attention to detail and has the typical racing game habit of displaying it in a mesmerising way, the light shining off its spotless surfaces as it rotates around, showing all its bodywork. Milestone have made a lot of the fact that there are far more bikes this time around, and considering the priority for the series is producing an authentic motorcycling experience, this can only be a good thing.
In 2015 Ride impressed when it introduced racers to its realistic racing, allowing motorcycle fans to gawp at their favourite bikes, take to the tarmac of famous tracks and be a racer themselves, and now Ride 2 looks to up the stakes by piling more content into it and pushing the commitment to realism even further.
