Gear.Club Unlimited Review: Not Worthy of a Test Drive
The Switch's first real racing game has finally arrived. But is it any good?

I think it's decent but you can definitely feel its roots as a mobile game and the system deserves something a bit better.

Yeah I found it passable but purely because of the platform it's on. As Adam says, on PS4 or Xbox and it would be forgotten almost instantly. Hopefully more competent arcade racers arrive in time.

Yeah, I hope so too.

3/5 graphics? It looks worst than most 360 racing games. The switch is STRONGER than the 360. More like 1/5

Great review!

I'll trust the review. Since this didn't become perhaps a premier racing title for Switch owners, look at it like this- at least this gives other developers a chance to make a better game. Nintendo is not known for any quality racing games outside of Mario Kart or the rest of the Nintendo ecosystem. Still, any ambitious developer can change that by making a quality racing title. At least this is a start of what could be possible especially in making a solid exclusive racing/driving title for the Switch. And so what if this is an "extended mobile game?" Some developer is going to maybe make a very solid racing title for the Switch and maybe change culture a bit.

I am on the hopeful side of all of this rather than throw shade at it.

@JohnBM01 -- You may be interested by this rumor of Burnout Paradise coming to Switch (along with PS4 and XBone?), then. Seems to me it would make good business sense, and for once it's not some crummy modern NFS game, though the handling model is close enough.
