great game here.

My father rode this track in his youth during the 50s, non competitively.
now at 85 yrs Old, he can watch me ride the same track, without dying.

video games bring the generations together,

p.s he was not so keen on DOOM however.

Here’s a rider and adults Review! It’s awesome and feels better than the first one. It does a great job of making you feel like your going fast as hell all while leaning and throttling out corners like a beast. I ride in RL both SS and SB Motorcycles and this game feels pretty awesome. Don’t listen to the negative reviews saying it sucks. I have been riding since I was 7 years old and I like the feel of it. Also no one will ever be able to make a game driving or riding feel like the real thing it’s impossible. I mean the games beautiful and you feel like your ripping thru twistys on the TT course. I have GPBikes and MotoGP and I still say this is a great game and prefer playing TT2 right now over my other Bike Sims.

Here's my suggestions...

• Spend a lot of time tweaking the controller sensitivity settings. Even if you think it's working for you, change it up and see if it's better.
  
• Only race in helmet cam, not only does it feel more gratifying but I reckon you can catch power wheelies and wobbles earlier and generally push harder.
  
• Turn off most of the HUD. No racing line, no speedo, definitely no map, no corner markers . I guarantee you will learn the course and tracks faster this way. No distractions.
  
• Keep racing the supersport bike of your choice until you've learnt the tracks, as the superbikes are that much quicker you'll be reacting to most corners rather than anticipating.

Overall, this is the best bike game I've played. Like other reviewers have mentioned, low speeds don't feel that good but there's not many opportunities to go that slow! As far as anything on a 2D screen controlled by an xbox controller can, I'd say it feels pretty realistic, with the caveat that I've never in real life experienced a tank slapper at 200mph down a narrow village street with my visor so covered in flies and the sun so low that I can't see the next corner coming at me. But then neither has anyone else here so that's alright then.

Buy it if you like a challenge.

Let me begin by saying I have no clue about anything to do with mechanical or performance issues when it comes to motorbikes (real or virtual). Piston what? Suspension huh? No idea... See? :) I just like to drive things at insane speeds in a way that feels extremely dangerous. This game is the first racing game I've ever played that lets me do that to my heart's content. I'll be honest, my 15 hours of play so far have largely consisted of choosing Single Player > Quick Race > Isle of Man and just bombing around the track in first person view with every HUD element switched off. Nothing in the way, just learning the track and building up an intuitive feel for the optimum speed in each section. It is so much FUN!!! I keep catching myself just grinning like a schoolboy on his first roller coaster. And, by the way, I am rubbish at it. A HUGE achievement for me was to make it round ONCE without falling off and that took me days of trying. I particularly love all the leaning into corners as you race. It's genuinely hard not to actually lean for real as well! If, like me, you don't know much about bikes but just want to blast around an incredibly beautiful course at silly speeds you should definitely check this game out.

I bought this game to experience the track. I didn't expect the mechanics to be so bad. I ride a 1000cc bike on the street and fast (when on a private track obviously) and I can tell you that the bike does not move from one lane to the other when I want to take a long sweeping bend and certainly not during a short corner. That said some of the wheelie characteristics when accelerating in the low gears is very close. Other than that, a complete miss. I can pull away without it feeling like the clutch is slipping for 10minutes before it picks up. Riding over bumps in the road moves the bike around IRL but it doesn't pivot you onto the floor. The wheel will lift over certain changes in road pitch but you wont instantly fly off the back because the rear overtook you. I could go on, and on, and on. How long it takes to go from banked left to banked right at any speed. Your lean angle v's the AI's lean angle (scratching vs 20deg) etc etc.

So this game is definitely not a sim. Ok, fair enough. So then its arcade, right? Wrong!
Arcades are accessible, and this is not. It doesn't have the playability of games 20yrs old let alone something new. I've been playing this game wondering who the developers were targeting. My answer is they dont care, anyone who will pay up front for the IOMTT experience.
Of course there are skilled gamers who, with time can crack any game and become elite at it. They are prepared to learn the physics and glitches that make it go fast and repeat the formula for every challenge. But that's not the majority.
This game is flawed throughout (broken menu's, no ultrawide screen settings, Nvidia cant even find the game). In reality its nothing more than a 1.2 patch of the first IOMTT game.
But if you want a good idea of some good places to spectate the real IOMTT then this helps.
I'll see you up the mountain with my sandwiches, a man nappy and just a pinch of salt.

I recommend this purely on the basis I can ride through my town, very quickly.
Oh and it is a decent racing game.
Plus the scenery in the Isle of Man is wonderful.

I jumped straight onto time attack mode and snaefel mountain course tested 3 bikes classic supersport and superbike, and it's awsome i can feel the wobble more like what i see in videos of real TT, it feels more closer to real TT , and the feeling of speed is also improved more than 1st version, in slower bike i found myself desperately trying to keep bike as straight as possible as some unexpected bumps could cause me to fall.i ride bycicle in real life and this feels much closer to that feeling which is awesome.I feel this game to be awesome, i don't know about any career mode bugs since i didn't started it yet. Good job to developers you guys are awesome.

This game, being a sequel to the first TT Isle of Man, doesn't feel like a big enough step in the right direction when compared to its prequel. In some areas, it's worse. The career mode feels great, with you choosing between races on a calendar.

When it comes to controls and physics, many drew comparisons between the first game in this series and Milestone's titles. Some preferred Milestone physics, some preferred KT Racing's. I'm in the latter camp, which is why I'm disappointed in the physics of this game. It feels like a step backwards, you can barely influence weight shifting. The only times you'll pull a wheelie is on bumps in the road or from a standstill, you really can't do it deliberately. Braking feels great, though. You can lock up the rear tyre, making the bike squirm and snap, but you can catch it and it feels just as great as doing it for real. The same goes for when your front wheel starts going skywards over crests, it just feels right as you close the throttle and manage to keep it under control. On the fine details level, it feels like they learned from what was bad in the previous game. If you lean too much you hear the foot pegs scraping, however it still is way too lenient in letting you get out of situations where you'd low side for sure.

Graphics are 'meh'. It does its job just as well as the previous game except for one huge problem: the sense of speed is way worse in this game than the first one, which is a big shame because the first game had the greatest sense of speed of any racing game I've played, arcade or sim. To have a step down from that is a big shame. The engine audio is also very bland, but the wind noise helps maintain the sense of speed.

Content-wise, this game outshines the first one. It keeps all of the previous tracks and adds a new area which has several different track layouts. Obviously, it still features the Snaefell mountain as you'd expect. That is this game's biggest claim to fame. If you love road racing and the Isle of Man TT in particular, this game doesn't have any competition. While I miss the sidecars, the classic bikes are a hugely welcome addition. It adds some much needed variety.

When I summarize the game's flaws and its strengths, I can't recommend it. You can neither high-side nor low-side, you'll only fall off the bike by crashing into something or from out of control wheelies. The bikes don't feel too different from each other, it's just different degrees of speed. The sense of speed is still great when compared to other series, but that mainly comes from the game's setting. It's the bloody Snaefell mountain course, fully recreated! Sadly, it feels like the devs (or more likely, the publishers) know that this is what will make you buy this game, so I fear they'll just keep pumping and dumping these games and release them every time the month of May comes around. The post-launch support for the first game was atrocious, and I fear it'll be the same for this one. Unless you REALLY want to ride around Isle of Man, avoid this series.

Best physics of any bike game out there by far. The sensation of speed and acceleration it conveys don't even come close to this in any other bike game I've tried (Moto GP series what is that snail paced rubbish all about?). This is the closest sensation I can get to riding bikes for real and I've ridden for over 20 years 1000cc sports bikes - not that I do 170mph on the main roads or anything. It's the acceleration this game conveys, the rush of wind, the camera angles - all superb. Shame there is a lack of bikes though.

I've been riding for 45 yrs and this game is the most accurate representation of actual riding I've ever played. Blows the MotoGP and Ride series' out of the water. Love the new career mode also.
