Grid Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" Unrated

[@Balnazzardi]

@Emperor Lars XVIII Nah, this is new game or "reboot" if you will...but no its not remaster of the original GRID. Overall I dont exactly see where Codemasters wants GRID to fall in in racing game genre....most people would either prefer full arcade or sim or "semi-sim" (like Forza) type of game, these kind of games that fall in somewhere between are usually the ones that dont really get reviewed that well or sell that well.

[@russmanYT]

why does it feel like this genre hasn't changed/improved in a decade?

[@pspcow]

Russell Smith graphics got to a point where it looks realistic or stylized in the way the devs wanted. So in itself, there is only so much you can improve before you hit a wall. Let them get to the point where in game people look real, and graphics will stop being so important. Hell, I would argue we’re already there.

It's been almost 6 and a half years since Grid 2 came out so it's been a while. Honestly, I didn't expect to see a Grid title anytime soon. Having said that, I would consider buying this game, but I'm not necessarily in a hurry. A.I. is an issue and the damage modeling is a bit weak. Otherwise, I appreciate the great review as always. Thanks Karak!

Great graphics and fun racing. If you want tons of customizing and simulation there are games based on that. I love that this is jump in and race.

Grid 1 and Dirt 2/3 remain pinnacle Codemasters. Nothing they've put out since has come close to wowing me like those games did back in the day, especially in terms of visuals and presentation. Still some of my fav driving games of all time.

[@ActNasty5]

Man this looks pretty rough honestly /:

[@monowaveart]

Original Grid was raw and crazy fun to play. Driving flat out on a straight was tritchy, edgy, risky and dangerous. You could feel every bump and it was terrifyingly brilliant. Buliding a team to battle Ravenwest was fun and rewarding. The new Grid looks like every other racer. Tame, safe driving, and basic team management. I loved original Grid because it had rivalries and a reason to play (not just race this to unlock next race). I was burned by grid 2 and again with autosport (both concenrated too much on the mechanics, rather than being a fun game to play).

[@MorbidVizions]

+100 bonus points for the Exodus reference!! Best reviews on the web as usual, thanks brother!

[@LilacLegeret]

Grid And and Legend remind me of Ridge Racer Revolution on GameCube in 360 we can race into several different cars that's why I like the Grid series cuz it reminds me of bridge racer Revolution was all its different cars to race in that's why I find it so fascinating

[@taiiat0]

i think you're right, the game does have some struggles with the Anti-Aliasing. quite a numerous number of times i was checking the Resolution thinking KZbin had magically set it lower. but no, it was just the game, that's just how the game looks. even through KZbin Compression it was still strongly noticable!

hmmm, im not so sure i agree with that or do you mean dirt rally and dirt 3? or dirt 2 and dirt 3? i think you meant the later, and in that case i agree, but Dirt Rally, the original, is my favorite and still leaps and bounds above any of the new dirts, including 2.0.. whaddya think?

[@Nanolis]

I dunno why but it looks like a remaster of some 90's or early 2000's arcade cabinet game. Can't really pin down why, the graphics look fine though nothing special, might just be the camera. It doesn't convey that you're in a 3,000lb death machine hurling itself through the streets.
