Corvette Evolution GT

Corvette Evolution GT (also known as simply Evolution GT in Europe) is a 2006 racing game developed by Milestone srl and published by Black Bean Games in Europe and Valcon Games LLC in the United States for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows. The Nintendo DS version was developed by Jack of All Games and released in 2008. Like Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano, it uses a similar role playing game system, albeit slightly improved over the said game. Apart from the name, it offers a wide variety of European and some American cars apart from the Chevrolet Corvette, such as Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Pontiac and Renault.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Misleading title for the North American version. Despite the name, there are several cars and brands outside of only the said model.
 * 2) Though the career mode has improved over Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano, each event has a given car on a given track and you cannot choose your own.
 * 3) *Speaking of that, the AI grid is still made of the same car as the player's (even if you pick a car in Quick Race Mode).
 * 4) Driving off the track still literally damages the car. Even just driving off the track or even one slight touch from the wall would immediately wreck your car!
 * 5) Yet again, the game still factors to poor car handling that even a slight turn feels like your driving on ice.
 * 6) Lack of online multiplayer and extras.
 * 7) The "Cunning" technique can be very confusing. It's basically a slingshot overtaking maneuver.
 * 8) Outdated graphics, even for 2006 standards. The graphics of the cars look like they're made of aluminum.
 * 9) The cars are off-model. Notoriously, the Corvette Z06 (and its racing counterpart) has obviously smaller taillights than its real life model.
 * 10) Like in the said game. Some of the tracks may look breathtaking, but they're just mirrored versions of well-known racing circuits.
 * 11) *Corse has a layout of the Kyalami Circuit.
 * 12) *Highlands has a layout of the Philip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
 * 13) *Cote d'Azur has a layout of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
 * 14) Some tracks are recycled from Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano.
 * 15) The car's lights are always on during races. Even on daylight.
 * 16) The pointless and over-exaggerated Driving Condition returns. See Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano for more info.
 * 17) Weird and warbling engine sounds.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite the name, there is a good number of cars from different car brands throughout the game such as the Renault Clio V6, the Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG, the Pagani Zonda Roadster and even the Bugatti EB110!
 * 2) *The name itself is actually pretty surprising. You looked at the game in a game store and think to yourselves "ugh, only Corvettes in this game?" only to find out there's more to come when you boot it up.
 * 3) Challenges are not anymore repetitive, each of them provide unique goals and objectives and completing one of them can improve the driver's skill.
 * 4) Improved Tiger Aspect feature.
 * 5) Improved RPG system. Also what is newly featured is the driver's talent system. A specific skill orientation that makes your driver unique. And each of them has its strengths and weaknesses.
 * 6) The Career Mode has a gameplay tutorial curated by Gabriele Tarquini (who is the champion of the BTCC in 1994, ETCC in 2003 and WTCR in 2018), helping newcomers about the techniques and the RPG system.
 * 7) Though real life tracks, such as Laguna Seca, Donington, Hockenheimring and Valencia return from Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano, also included is the Albacete Circuit.
 * 8) More upbeat menu music than the previous said game.
 * 9) Career Mode enforces you to enroll in any of the 6 available teams. Each of them provide you multiplier bonuses to certain accomplishments, such as overtakes, intimidations and clean laps. Each team has a unique specialty based on the you preference and proficiency.
