Replay Racer 2 Walkthrough
Replay Racer 2 is an addictive and entertaining racing game that challenges you to try to beat the high score to get the win. While this one doesn't have the greatest graphics out there and the action can be a little slow at times, it is an excellent game for newcomers to the racing game genre to use to strengthen their racing and car control skills for the tougher racing games online. Some of the more experienced racing game players who stumble across this game are going to find it a little too slow to really offer a challenge they're interested in taking on, but it is still worth checking out, even if just for the drifting.
Replay Racer 2 is really at its strongest when you're tearing around the corners and grinding the daisies around the track with a good drift. Drifting is something many racing games ignore which is why it's always such a treat to come across a good drifting racing game. You need to build up a fair bit of speed around the corners if you want to get a solid drift going but remember, in order to drift you will also need to use the hand brake. This is something many more experienced racing game players miss because, quite honestly, having to use the hand brake is something you don't really have to do often in most of the other racing games online. For that reason, newcomers to the genre might have a bit of an edge with this one.
You can choose to play two different ways in Replay Racer 2. You can either play against your personal best score or choose a more relaxed game by choosing to play by yourself. Both modes of play offer benefits. Which you choose will depend entirely on your personal preference and what kind of game you're looking for. Choosing a car to use for your race can be a little more difficult. You want to choose a car that is strongest in the places where you are weakest. Identify your weaknesses as a racing game player. If you have trouble with handling, choose a car that handles better. If you're really playing for the drifting aspect of the game, choose the car that drifts the best. As you scroll through the cars available for you to use (shown at the top of the panel on the left side of the screen) you'll see the basic stats for that car below it. Pay attention to those stats because car selection is vital to doing well in this game.
The fact that you can customize the color of your car in Replay Racer 2 is really just icing on the cake. It doesn't affect the performance of your car, but if gives the game a more personalized, individual feel which helps it stand out from most of the other racing games online. There's a pretty decent selection of colors you can choose from so take a moment or two to find something you like. Something as small as choosing a color you like for your car can make the game feel more entertaining and more engrossing.
It's also important to choose a track that appeals to you in Replay Racer 2, but put more focus on how you feel you'll perform on the track you choose. The graphics in this game aren't really all that spectacular so you don't have to worry a whole lot about choosing a track that's visually appealing. They all more or less look the same. What's important is figuring out where you are strongest and finding a track that suits your strengths. As you get more familiar with the game and are a little more comfortable controlling your car, you can move on to some of the more difficult tracks to challenge yourself.
Overall, Replay Racer 2 is a fun little racing game that will keep you entertained and that offers a nice introduction to the world of online drift racing games. While more experienced players looking for a real challenge may get frustrated with this one, newcomers are really going to enjoy the challenge presented to them. This one might not become your favorite racing game, but it will help you kill a little time, help you improve your racing skills and will generally keep you entertained, so it's worth at least checking out.
