I’ve never been to the Isle of Man but, based on footage, KT Racing’s version of the course is an admirably authentic facsimile of the real thing. The top-notch sound is an integral part of the sensation of speed, particularly the way wind noise thuds through the speakers as your bike whips past trackside objects. In fact, there are times when Ride on the Edge 2 seems to share more in common with something like WipeOut than a contemporary motorsports sim, such is the startling velocity, amplified by the cramped roads. Navigating the narrow roads of the course at truly sphincter-shrivelling speeds is an immense and unforgiving challenge, and the amount of crashes I’ve had while on maximum attack has made it abundantly clear why the real TT is infamous for its sadly-extensive list of casualties.

The harder level is the more exciting the race. Winning in the race and acquiring new motorcycles, you can raise the level of the game. In the career mode, you can perform such tasks as tracing the route for the specified time. In this game, there are many improvements and developments. In the mirrors you can see the reflection. It's more difficult to drive, but more real. From the first person you can even look at the road in the helmet. The view in the game is from the first and from the third person. The tracks are of different levels of complexity. The racer has the opportunity to go on rural and city routes. Racing takes place on the wildest and most unknown routes of the world.
