Road Trip Adventure 2 is a 2014 Playstation exclusive video game developed by The Apex Team and the second installment to the Road Trip Adventure series.
Like Cars, it takes place in the world of scaled down cars, instead of people and animals.
Road Trip Adventure 2 is a three-way combination of a racing game, a party game, and an RPG game, better known as a "CarPG" game. This is far better than the first Road Trip Adventure game, allowing you to do more than just travel around the world in a scaled down car. It allows you to make racetracks, play online, interract with townspeople (or townscars) and more.
The game takes place in the year 2002 (on Earth, it is actually 2014), after the events of RTA1.
Development
Development of this game began in 2003 when The Apex Team were working on extremely early concept art for Road Trip Adventure 2. In 2005, they finally went to work when they recieved development kits for the Playstation 3. RTA2 was announced in E3 2006 as a teaser trailer, along with Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 and Motorstorm. No gameplay was shown, but clips of the original RTA1 were presented. The alpha version of RTA2 was released in 2010 under the name "Best Racer Ever", designed exclusively for beta testers. Then finally, in 2014, the game was released for the PS3. They recieved developer kits for the PS4 shortly after the release of that game. They soon began porting it for the PS4. It is expected to be released in Q1 2015.
There was recently an interview with the CEO of The Apex Team. He has confirmed that a Playstation 2 version of RTA2 is under development, but it will not have online multiplayer, DLC, , the verts and overall graphics quality will be lower, and a release date is currently unknown.
Gameplay
Economy
At the start of the game, you are asked to specify a name for the currency used in the game, and also display preferences too such as optional motion blur, bloom, and measure units. Money is a large factor in Road Trip Adventure 2. It is used to trade parts and deposit in banks, and to advertise. To win money, you can race, sell parts and advertise.
Initial start up
The first time you start the game, you'll test drive the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z07, an American supercar, around the parodic version of the Spa-Francorchamps international world circuit, and as all 3 laps are complete, you'll start the game as any E-class vehicle.
Opening Movie
As soon as the game loads up, the opening movie will begin with a cinematic intro and also a 4 minute music video of the game (Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi). The movie will not be skippable if the game starts up for the very first time.
The movie fades in with a cinematic view of the RTA2 planet that looks a lot of Earth. The camera zooms into the planet to show a world of cars, with street races, police pursuits, tourism, and two cars parked by each other near a cliff during a sunset. A 2006 Corvette Z06 and an Audi R8 passes by the two cars, almost looking like they are racing each other. They meet up with 6 other vehicles for a race on the coast. As the moon rose up, the race began. After 2 racers were eliminated from the race, the Corvette emerges as the winner. The song suddenly stops and turns into a dark orchestral score when 5 black cars arrive about to hit the Corvette, before the scene ends. The title card shows up after before it fades out.

The biggest highway in the world. This is probably the most frequent place you drive by.

A trail with oversized candy pieces that were placed around. Probably the weirdest location in the game.
White Acropolis
A snowy town with a high mountain that overshadows it.

Game GFX
Game Graphic Effects.
Motion Blur
When a camera goes fast enough, corners on the screen become blurry
Variable factors
Shutter speed - The amount of blurriness in the corners. 0 - Accumulated blur, 10 - A lot of blur.
Speed sensitivity - At what speed should the blurriness be at full effect? 0.1 - Motion blur at 10 mph, 10, - motion blur at 100 mph
Horizonal DoF
Sights in the distance are very blurry.
Vignette
Can be changed in the options.
Variable factors
Opacity - 0 means clear, 1 means obviously visible.
Bloom
The simulation of the color's sensitivity to the human eye.
Variable factors
Intensity - The intensity and brightness of bloom. 0 means barely any bloom, and 10 means a lot of bloom. Any further values may result in unstable bloom.
Color saturation - The amount of exagerrated color in bloom. 0 means the bloom is purely white, and 10 means the bloom has brighter colors than the bloomed color itself.
HDR
The simulation of the sun's sensitivity to the human eye. When the "eye" is in a darker place with very dark colors, it will appear black, as the eye will adjust to that setting. When the "eye" is exposed to a brighter place, everything will be very bright for some seconds before the eye adjusts to that setting again.
Color Correction/Dynamic Colors
The simulation of mood and emotion to the human eye.
Variable factors
Saturation - Set to 0, it means that it's completely black and white. Set it to 1, there is full color. Any further numbers will result in brighter, cartoonish colors.
Sepia - The simulation of aging to the human eye. Set it to 0, there will be no sepia. Set it to 1, there is full sepia.
Gamma - The combination of brightness AND contrast. Set it to -1, there is negative gamma. Set it +1, there is positive gamma.
Game Mechanics
Full Damage system
When a car is damaged, that usually affects the performance of the vehicle. The science of damage has been simulated into the car.
Tire damage and wear
When a car lands on it's wheels too hard, and from a great height, that can screw up the suspension system, eventually causing that vehicle to lose wheels.
Tires may wear off faster after long hours of driving, or if you drift way too much.
Fuel consumption
Your car will lose fuel after long hours of driving. Based on what engine your car has, it may waste more fuel faster. It can also consume fuel by injecting nitrous, driving underwater, or exerting too much energy when your tires wear out.
Engine damage
The car will stop functioning properly or explode if the car is hit head on too hard. It may also cause fuel to be consumed faster thanks to oil leaks.
Light damage
The car's head and tail lights will stop working if the car is hit directly towards the lamps too hard, causing the lights to not work anymore.
Funny types of death
When your car is destroyed after terminal damage, falls out of bounds, or is eliminated from a knock-out race, your car may do these things just for the laugh of it.
1: Explode
The car will explode, with bits such as the wheels, engine, seats, etc. that fly everywhere.
2: Get "banned"
The car will immediately disappear, with a text showing "BANNED FOR YEARS", fooling the player into thinking they got banned for eternity.
3: Food
The car will turn into a large pile of food (bananas, hamburgers, or cupcakes) that will be thrown at the same speed the car was going when it died.
4: Magic?
The car will poof into thin air, leaving nothing but a smoke cloud.
5: Rapture
The car will turn into a transparent ghost with wings that will levitate slowly into the air.
6: Shrink
The car shrinks until nothing else can see it.
7: Dissolve
The car turns completely black as it floats and fades away.
Different Types of Racing Starts
There are multiple ways a race can be started.
Rolling Start
All cars will already be moving at a low speed. By the time they cross the starting line, the race will begin.
False Start Check Enabled
All cars will be free to move by the controller's will. If one was not holding on the brake and instead held on the gas before the race officially begins, they will recieve a penalty.
Standing
All cars will be standing with handbrakes automatically held on until the race starts.

Instead of there being 28 vehicles, there will be 50, yes, FIFTY opponents competing. The race will span from Blue Hills to the Lost Fjords, which equals to 200 miles of asphalt, dirt, and sand. There will be a checkpoint at each town you pass at. There, you have a chance to rest and change any parts to suit the difficulty of the next sections of the track. The rules are you cannot diliberately hit other vehicles; it's not allowed at all. It will disqualify you from the race, and you'll have to start over from the last checkpoint. The top 7 racers to cross the finish line first will recieve a grand prize.
Road Trip Chronicles - An alternate counterpart to RTA2. This is a gamemode where you drive sports cars made in the 1960s through 7 eras of racing: the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000s, 2010s, and today. As you progress through those eras, all cars except for your car will change into the cars made in that era, making it more difficult to win 5th or better.

Survival - Driving on a straight and endless highway while avoiding objects being thrown onto the course, and other cars, too. Every mile equals 100 points. You must get more points than anyone else to win.
Drag Race - Race in a straight mile-long road. it can allow up to 4 players.
Infected - There is a cop car that is infected. If the infected cop car wrecks you, you become infected, too! If all players are infected before time runs out, the Survivors will lose, and the Infected will win, and vice versa.

Racing Line - Driving on the racing line gives you 10 points a second. You have 1 lap to get as many points as possible.

Powerups
These are powerups used in arcade races, battle races, and arena derbies.
Speed
A bottle of nitrous that savagely increases your acceleration as well as forcing up your top speed at will. This lasts only 3 seconds, though.
Mines
The car drops 3 anti-car mines in which if a car drove over it, the bomb explodes, damaging the victim with great force.
Shield
The car will be protected from damage for 30 seconds, but that dosent mean it can't take damage from self-inflicted impacts.
EMP
The car fires a beam of electricity at a victim, temporarily paralyzing it for 5 seconds, giving the user the chance to take it out.
Jump
The car jumps really high to dodge incoming attacks quickly or to get to places that are difficult to get to.
Autopilot
The car drives by itself with great skill for 10 seconds.
Frictionlessness
The car will drive on a frictionless trail, driving at top speed and seamlessly avoiding obstacles.
Rocket
The car fires out a heat-seeking rocket that homes into the nearest opponent. If the opponent does nothing to evade, they will explode as soon as the rocket hits it.
Ice Ball
The car shoots out a big ball of ice in a relatively straight line. If a car was hit by it, it would freeze in an ice cube for a couple of seconds, infinitely travelling at the speed it was going when it was hit with no control of handling.
Mirror
The car will be protected by a coat of chrome foil so shiny that it reflects off anything that hits it back to the sender. If the sender does not do anything to evade, they will be hit.
Kamikaze
The car becomes a bomb. They must drive into another car in 10 seconds to explode both the user AND the victim.
Warp
The car spawns a space-time rift lasting 5 seconds that teleports the vehicle to the top 3 positions. Other vehicles may also drive through the portal.
Counterfeit Item Capsule
The car drops a fake item capsule or throws it ahead of them. If an opponent hits it, they will be electrocuted.
The Drone
The car spawns a drone that flies in the air, and (tries to) destroy the first place holder.
Traps
"Buttons" that are frequently seen in arcadic game modes that slow the racer down.
Rocket Sentry
If a car drives over this button, it fires a rocket from a miniature sentry that homes into the car that drove over it. If the car does nothing to evade, they will explode.
Instant Death
If a car drives over this button, the car dies immediately, and respawns 4 seconds later.
2x Damage
If a car drives over this button, the car will take 2 times the damage it should regularly take.
Engine Failiure
The car will slow down to 70 mph for 5 seconds.
Spikestrip
The car's tires will pop, making it more difficult to control on high-traction terrains, like asphalt. The tires will reinflate after 10 seconds or if the car dies.
Rock
If the car drives over this button, the car will suddenly be crushed by a giant rock. If cars drive into this at high speed, they will crash, too.
Shops
Shops are scattered around the RTA2 world. Use these shops to buy new parts, paint your cars, add vinyls, etc.
Parts
The parts of the vehicle.
Body
The skeleton and skin of the car. Each body comes in a different shape, and can change/improve the speed, handling, acceleration, and braking of the car through aerodynamics, thus also affecting your overal performance grade.
If a body's aerodynamic speed was up to 10 stars, that means it's really rich in speed, making the car go even faster. You must always prefer the highest aerodynamic speed.
If a body's aerodynamic handling was up to 10 stars, that means it is superb in corners and drifting.
If a body's aerodynamic acceleration was up to 10 stars, that means it is able to go up to top speed quickly and with ease.
If a body's aerodynamic braking was 10 stars, it is able to figuratively stop on a dime.
Engine
The heart and soul of the car. Based on the size or perfomance of an engine, it can improve a car's speed, acceleration, and power.
Power Usage
How much power will the engine use to run? The engine will waste fuel quickly based on how much power it uses. If a car had huge power usage, it would waste 3 pints of fuel in a minute even at a standstill. A low power usage should always be preferred.
Engine Power
How much power will the engine carry? If it has a lot of power, that will greatly affect the speed, acceleration, and of course, power in the car. If a car had 880 hp, it should go up to 200 mph with normal transmission.

Tires
Tires are among the most important parts of a vehicle. They help the vehicle drive after all. Each tire has different traction on the 5 terrain elements seen in the game: Pavement, dirt, sand, snow, and water.
Traction
How much traction do the tires have? If they have low traction, they cause the car to slide everywhere, and if it dosent have Spin Recovery activated, it can lose control easily.
Tire Wear
How much time will it take for the tires to completely wear out? If it has 1 star, it will only take 4 minutes for the tires to wear out.
- Fake Tires: Just old tires-- oh wait, they're not. Low traction, medium tire wear.
- Wooden Spokes: More durable than fakes. Moderate low traction, low tire wear.
