Dinsun Review
I grew up on Gran Turismo, so I appreciate a game that lets you tinker under the hood. Dyno 2 Race tries to scratch that itch, but it fails on almost every execution level. The 'tuning' is mostly just sliding bars and watching a number go up—there's no real mechanical soul here.
The graphics look like they were ripped from a 2005 budget title. But the real 'check engine light' for this game is the ads. It’s predatory. It asks if you want to watch an ad for a multiplier, you say no, and it gives you an ad anyway. The controls are floaty, and the sound effects are so grating I had to play on mute. It's a shame, because a good mobile dyno sim would be welcome, but this isn't it.
