![]() ![]() There aren’t an abundance of tracks in the game and you end up racing on the same one multiple times. If it did, then it was faint and barely audible.īut sadly, not all is perfect in the world of Grid 2. You get certain music tracks when you’re on the final lap, but it doesn’t happen often enough. I only wished it had a more refined soundtrack that played as you race. As you’re passing through event flags, you can feel the wind going off the car. Then, there are the little things like tracks having fireworks go off as you’re racing that just add a sense of realism into the game that no other game has yet inspired.Īnother great thing Grid 2 does is in the audio department, from the sound of each car, to the roar of the crowd, or how sounds of the car change as you enter a tunnel. The crowd will cheer and get louder, while also going faint as you speed past them. As you’re racing through wooded hills, the leaves on the road will fly back from the high speed you’re at. Where Grid 2 really shines, however, is the insane attention to detail each track offers. Mixing simulation-esque racing with arcade-style racing, it creates a unique blend that turns out beautifully. Due to each car feeling quite different from one another, it’s pretty easy to learn which type of car is best suited for you. Another of the game’s is just how well each car controls, from the slight tilt of the analog stick to get that perfect drift, to a quick flick and quick hand break to go into the tight corner. At times, it seemed like two cars were totally identical, but upon taking them for a test drive, a slight edge in weight or acceleration ended up making a big difference. I was pleasantly shocked at how true the cars felt to the stats the game showed. One of my favourite parts about all the cars is the abundance of customization available: different paint colors, patterns, sponsors, these cars are your own and making them is just as much fun as driving them. ![]() ![]() Grid 2 offers tons of recognizable cars, from tier 1-4 and ranging from a Dodge Challenger, to a McLaren F1 GT. Making the WSR more believable is accompanied by a ESPN video discussing some of the major events that have happened within the organization. Thankfully, the many different cars you end up owning can be a great mix-up and change the way you race on the track. While the racers do become more challenging, they don’t spike in difficulty and at times becomes a bore to go through the events. Each of the events leads to an end “Season” which has you racing in a tournament ladder to finally secure the top racer of that brand. The US are more straightforward lap races, while Asia has a keen focus on drifting. These racers span from the U.S, Europe and Asia, each with a distinct style of racing. I’ve had multiple races where I’ve won by 5, or even 10 seconds ahead of the other racers.Īs you progress through the different race events, including lap races, sprint, drifts, eliminations, and tournaments, you work to get the best of the best from other large organizations to join into the WSR. That’s the process of when you’re in first place, but suddenly the guy in second is right behind you. One of the best things that Grid 2 does, is not have the AI rubber band you. Grid 2 handles its single player quite well, with a wide variety of race types and events. You quickly become the face of this new organization, and it is your job to show off how good you are to get other brands on board. With the introduction of ‘World Series Racing’ (WSR) it is your job to make a name, not just for yourself but for the brand. In the game’s career mode, you start as a brand new driver trying to establish yourself as someone. ![]()
