The Snaefell Mountain Course is a very dangerous course, with multiple fatalities almost every year during various races. It’s equivalent to the Nurburgring in car racing sims, so make sure you have a good 30 minutes or more. The Snaefell Mountain course is long and challenging, but it is also the most exciting course in the game. I didn’t make it my first year, but the wait is worth it. You take part in races, either a timed trial or a mass start race, and try to amass enough wins or reputation to be invited to the TT Isle of Man Snaefell Mountain race. The AI riders don’t make mistakes, so you need to drive flawlessly to succeed. There isn’t anything you can do if you come in too fast and run wide, which makes TT Isle of Man 2 an unforgiving racing sim. In that regard, it’s even more important to memorize corners and lines. If you’re coming in from a car racing sim, be prepared for plenty of understeer without the ability to countersteer accordingly. TT Isle of Man 2 gets its physics mostly right, although this is my first experience with motorbike handling in a racing sim. You can feel the center of gravity shift as you lean into a corner, and the sensation of successfully anticipating the necessary speed and angle of a corner and pulling off a high-speed turn is thrilling. TT Isle of Man 2 introduced new gyroscopic physics to help improve the experience of the game, and it really shows. Eventually, you’ll be entering more challenging races on Superbikes. It’s nothing new for a racing simulator, but it’s also nice to have so you can slowly increase the challenge by disabling certain settings. It also provides a career mode that allows you to enter easier races on a Supersport, in addition to multiple gameplay settings such as ABS, combined brakes, and a racing line.
It’s a simulator, so the learning curve should be challenging. However, I’m no expert on motorcycle handling, and because the Logitech G29 doesn’t work with the game, I used a PlayStation 4 controller instead. I’m no stranger to racing simulators, having played plenty of Assetto Corsa, iRacing, and DIRT Rally, and I even dabbled in autocross a few years ago with my WRX.
It’s a motorcycle simulator focused around the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races. That’s a good summary of my first hour or two in TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2. Playing in first-person with a helmet is great for immersion.
