You get the point. Choosing the correct car for each race is part of the game's strategy. Though vehicles aren't officially licensed, each model is designed to look and drive similar to its real-life, licensed counterpart. The Exotic car, for example, looks and controls eerily similar to a Lamborghini. Each vehicle can be significantly altered with Rush 2's customize car feature.
Players can increase or decrease their machine's acceleration, top speed, control and drifting.
In addition, the customize feature serves up selectable transmission styles, car colors, accent colors, stripe design and colors, various tires and tire-rims, different horn sounds, different engine builds, torques, suspensions and durability. The idea is to create a balance between a vehicle's various attributes for optimum performance. And all things considered, the car system is very well executed. The variety is nice while control and handling is balanced. If you're looking for the less responsive feel of last year's game, you can still tune your car to handle like a Rush 1 car as well.
