8 Reasons Why Gear.Club Is A Brilliantly Addictive Racing Game

There are quite a few racing games to choose from in mobile and tablet app stores, but Gear.Club stands out among the rest and is pretty addictive. Here’s what we’ve enjoyed from playing it so far
8 Reasons Why Gear.Club Is A Brilliantly Addictive Racing Game

1. Striking graphics

When the game loads up and you see the detailed map, ready to be explored, you know Gear.Club is going to visually be a gpretty good game. Sure, it’s no competition for console titles, but for a racing game on my iPad, it looks surprisingly nice and there are some beautiful locations to race around.

2. Range of cars

There’s a healthy number of cars in Gear.Club, with 35 to choose from and work your way up to. There are around 20 manufacturers within the game, from more mainstream brands like Mazda and VW to high-performance car creators like Pagani and Bugatti. But, there’s more to look forward to…

3. Regular updates

That’s because Gear.Club is regularly updated to make game improvements and also add in extra content. For example, a recent update brought the Mercedes-AMG C63S and Mercedes-AMG GTS to the game.

A lot more cars have been licensed for Gear.Club and will be coming in future updates, alongside new race tracks (there are 179 different layouts right now). Game updates happen every two to three weeks, so you don’t have to wait long for additional cars and tracks. It keeps the game fresh and gives you more cars to try out, which is always good.

Gear.Club confirmed to us that alongside other modern cars being introduced to the game through updates, it’s also looking to bring in more classic cars and electric cars too. So, you could well be racing a Tesla or old-school Mercedes around the Sunny Mountains in the future.

5. Unique handling

A good range of settings customisation means the game is pretty accessible, so rookie racers and experienced gamers will feel at home. I’ve found the AI a little too easy for me, but that’s probably down to the settings I’ve got it on at the moment.

It’s also fascinating to feel the difference between the cars. They have their own characteristics and spirits, something Gear.Club has apparently put a lot of effort into. It doesn’t scream out at you straight away, but you definitely get more of a feel for it the more you play.

6. You can challenge your friends

8 Reasons Why Gear.Club Is A Brilliantly Addictive Racing Game

Right now, the multiplayer aspect of Gear.Club is limited to time trials, playing against ghost cars (your friends) to see who is quickest. That’s a bit disappointing. It’s still a fun element of the game and gives you the chance to see how you compare to your mates, but they are looking to bring in synchronous, real-time multiplayer in future updates. That’s a must.

7. Striking a balance

Real Racing 3 and CSR Racing both have differing strengths. The former features more realistic handling and the latter excels in customisation and vehicle modification. Gear.Club kind of strikes a balance between the two, with fun handling and plenty of scope for modification in the Performance Shop. Additional customisation options are set to be rolled out in updates to the game, so expect more on that in the future too.

8. Working your way up

As with these kind of games, one of the most addictive things about them is working your way through it. So, you start from the bottom, driving a Chevrolet Camaro or Nissan 370Z, and can end up racing with Bugattis and Paganis.

The whole map hub and unlocking new locations, alongside new cars and Performance Shop options, gets you invested in the game and the vehicles you own.

You can even make it all the way through the game without having to spend a penny on in-app purchases, which is nice, although you have to put a lot of effort into it to do so. Challenge accepted!

Gear.Club is available for iOS and Android devices.

Only thing I was thinking when reading it. If would make it a more effective article if I actually knew they were saying from their mind not their wallet

Sorry if it reads like that. Not at all sponsored, if it was we would’ve said. I just really like the game (for what it is, an iPad game) and got some info/stats from the developers to give you guys some more detail

There was a Motorsport conference at my Uni were the developers of this paid a visit and talked about the game. A friend of mine went to their talk and they gave him 10000 gold in this game… that’s over £100 worth of gold. That was just for giving an emailed customer review of this game saying what new features he would like and what improvements he would make to the game

Yeah, loading times aren’t brilliant. It takes up quite a bit of storage room too.

It’s great but you can get bored of it. I was playing RR3 for like 3 years, I have a garage full of dream cars, lot’s of money and coins, so everything shoud be fine, although I haven’t launched the game for a year or more.

Real racing is getting boring, too many cars require gold but its impossible to earn it.

I liked it, loved the customisation. Disliked the grindy aspect of it though. Fingers crossed that this will lead to a Test Drive Unlimited 3!
