    Many people talk about how great it is but this sucks a**. The physics are way off. I stop after hitting a wall and it takes me 4 minutes to turn, why? because I spin in circles cause of the f-ing physics. Even if you try to push the button for a millisecond and take off it still does a 150 turn. The camera angle is terrible. When you burnout you can't see ****

    This game looks quite gorgeous. The graphics have had a real step up, there's some really good paint options available, reflections look amazing. This would be a great game as long as all you ever do is look at it.

This would be a great game as long as all you ever do is look at it.

    As soon as you start to actually play it, that is where the game begins to fall apart. The key to GRID 2 is simple: Drift. The first tier of cars you obtain in career mode, every single car in season one - even with DLC - is a Drift car. And there's a reason for this. Once you finally do work your way up the ladder, you do tart unlocking other cars. But even with other control schemes, "balance", "grip", there is only one way to take corners with any speed: Drifting.

    And even this wouldn't be as bad if it had the same more realistic drifting controls as the previous game. But this game doesn't. Not by a long shot. While it may be better than the infamously bad Ridge Racer series, Codemasters has decided to throw away all pretense of a "racing simulator" and give us crappy arcade drifting physics. Every car will under-steer unless you hit the breaks to throw the back end out. Every. Single. Car. Every track is made for drifting around sharp bends. Every race expect you to drift if you want any sort of reasonable time. Simply put, if you aren't drifting, you aren't winning.

    On top of that, the career tournament, sponsor, money/reputation system of the previous game is gone. Replaced with a "social media" story, complete with ESPN interludes (who've proven they will do anything for a pay check whether it has any sense of reality or not). You win races to earn "fans" (reputation). Cars are just given to you, you choose between usually two - which are either virtually identical in stats or one will be a clear advantage - and you can unlock the other in a time trial. The goal of the game is to impress drivers from other racing circuits to join your racing circuit by beating them in races. Let me put that another way: The goal is to impress enough fans that your brand new, all-styles racing circuit is totally for realsies by attracting drivers that you, personally, have bested in their own circuits, on their own tracks, against their own specialties. And now you want to race them off type, off class, and against each other to give credibility for your fantasy league. Yea, this is so much better than just, you know, trying to earn trophies from existing events.

    Worse, the AI has taken a huge step back from the previous game. Whereas in previous game, drivers had skill sets, they had favorite types, and - most importantly - they made mistakes, here we are back to AI that was laughable twenty years ago. They follow their racing line. They drive a little slower if they're out front, so that you can catch up, and a little faster if they're behind you (rubber band AI). They don't care if they hit a wall, they don't care if you're in the way, they don't care if you try to spin them. They will stick to their racing line like glue.

    But wait, there's more. In their infinite wisdom, Codemasters has added a few new race types, and of course removed some old favorites. One of the new events, Live Routes, is a race track that is dynamically altered as you race. In other words, you have to picture that there are people who, once a few cars go buy, run out and reset the direction of the track. Constantly. In a game filled with unrealistic, idiotic choices, this one takes the cake.

    Edit: There is also the dreaded, obsolete, should not be seen in any video game post 2000 checkpoint racing. This was a mechanic invented for arcade machines back when you had to continually put quarters in them every 90 seconds in order for them to earn money. You have a time limit, and each checkpoint adds a little bit to it - not enough to get to the next point on its own, so that you will eventually run out. It has absolutely no place in home games. This mechanic needs to die. Even though it is used here slightly differently than in the old arcade games, here it's set up as an actual competition - which is probably the best use you can make out of it - checkpoint racing has left such a dirty taste in my mouth from so many games that I just cannot respect any racing game that includes it anymore. This isn't the only thing either. Elimination, the way they have the "5 second rule" to Togue. This game has completely forgone "simulation" for "arcade". While some players may like that, having race styles that can only really be done IN a video game... After the first GRID game, this is not at all what I wanted to see in the sequel. I have no problem if that's the game that they wanted to make... but it should not be titled GRID 2.

    There are better racing games out there. The cars there feel good, the game looks good, the races make sense, the AI is competitive, and most importantly, that game is far more FUN. But hey, at least you can have pearlescent paint if you buy this one - though you can never remove your sponsors.    … Expand

The handling in GRID is terrible. Basically all the cars in the game feel the same- the mere fact that FRONT wheel drive cars drift exactly the same way as REAR wheel drive cars is laughably stupid. The game is clearly "scripted" to a high degree. You'll race several races and be many seconds ahead of the competition at the finish, then enter a race and all of a sudden the same AI driver in the same car as last time is suddenly able to keep ahead of you on track. Car handling is also very scripted. There are clearly times when the game wants you to drift around corners- to the point that you can lose several seconds of time in a single corner if you don't drift correctly, which is just awful, because at other times you'll go for a drift and that corner is clearly programmed so you will either not gain any time or feel your car pulled toward the wall like a magnet. A game can't just arbitrarily switch around like this, I as the player don't know what to expect. They should have just made this a Wipeout-style game with speed-up patches and "drift zones" painted on the track in neon colors. At least then we wouldn't have to guess how the developers wanted us to drive. I could go on, but this game doesn't deserve it. I've put thousands of combined hours into Forza, Gran Turismo, Project Gotham... I love racing games. I turned off GRID 2 after about 2 hours of play. I just couldn't take it anymore. Uninteresting graphics, annoying "bro-sef" commentary, terrible and unpredictable handling... there's no reason to play this.… Expand

    Codemasters' worst game ever.
    Take the first GRID, the older Race Drivers. All were brilliant games with handling so different from car to car that you had something you liked and disliked about each.
    This game is the reason I will never pre-order again and it's also the reason why I've lost all faith in Codemasters. I don't care what they say about GRID Autosport, burnt once, twice shy.

    Worst racing game I bought in a long time. They took everything that was good in grid and put the opposite of that in this game.

    You can take corners full speed, the driving is to arcade it looks like the piece of sh*t EA is putting out year after year with NFS.

    Yet another franchise butchered thanks codebasterds.

Perhaps the game has been limited by the static console platforms, but as a PC user it's disappointing to see that little has changed. In actual fact, it seems like a step-down when you consider that the view was removed from the game. The new handling system seems even more arcadey, which is another disappointment as this is what differentiated GRID from other arcade racing games. The actual racing experience is incredibly boring. There doesn't seem to be any background music during racing and the menu music is incredibly dull. It does nothing to excite the user, leading to a very boring experience. The driver AI is also very robotic, and pales in comparison to the AI seen in other games, like the Need for Speed SHIFT series.
    They've also introduced this ridiculous concept whereby winning events will garner 'fans' and likes on social media sites. I really don't want to see some made-up YouTube comments written in txtspeak. Boring. The in-game menu system is also boring, and is too similar to other Codemasters games. The whole game just reeks of staleness, there is nothing fresh here, just tired concepts re-done. About the only thing I think has improved in this game is the lighting system, but it seems that in order to do that other aspects of the game suffered (such as the lack of a view). Even the track locations are stale many of the cities have been done before in other racing games, and again the amount of tracks is minuscule compared to the likes of NFS Shift. All in all, the game is turning out to be a big disappointment and will make a regrettable purchase. In fairness, I'm basing this on around 1-2 hours of gameplay, but I struggle to see how things will get better. Perhaps things will get better, but it will be a chore to get there.    … Expand

    I bought this game because GRiD 1 was fun online. This is garbage. Firstly, cars are separated by level but matchmaking isn't. Enjoy trying to keep your junk starter car on the road while everyone else has overpowered endgame cars.

    I get it, the cars are supposed to be balanced. LOL. Here's the secret: tier 1 Golf/Giulietta, tier 2 Nismo Skyline (being a realistic racing sim, the Skyline handles exactly like the one in Need for Speed Underground), tier 3 Atom or Caterham, tier 4 Veyron, other cars aren't viable 90% of the time. All of them except the first two are of course all the way at the end of their class and reserved for level 10-20-30 players. But it's okay, you can BUY THE UNLOCK DLC if you want to be competitive. This is literally paying to win.

    This is supposed to be a sim game, or at least a racing game. You know, a game about driving properly. I won't get into the complaints about drifting, even though every single one of them is true. Casual drifting can be fun, unless of course you were expecting a realistic racing sim.

    The problem is drifting AND the horrible (fake) track design. Literally every single track is a series of long narrow straights connected by hairpins. They did include a few licensed circuits, carefully cherrypicked to follow this exact template. Why? Because you can drift more easily that way! Duh! Unfortunately it is also impossible to overtake people legitimately unless they crash because the roads are too narrow to accomodate two drifting cars and there is no such thing as braking points, only handbrake taps. The higher level your account, the further towards the back you start, meaning past a certain point you cannot possibly win races without playing rough (unless you're a level 2 newbie who spent €5 on the Veyron and get rewarded by starting in pole position).

    At first some people regretted the lack of GRiD 1's demolition derby. Let's just say every online race is demolition derby whether you want to or not. Even if you don't play rough, someone else will, or a noob will crash in front of you and take you out in the process. There's an "impact rating" system which supposedly penalises dirty drivers. In reality, everyone knows by now how to hit people in such a way that the victim gets the penalty instead. Driving properly only to get blatantly (or even accidentally) plowed off the road and take a time penalty for corner cutting and a hit to your impact rating is so enjoyable. How to win touge events: get a fast accelerating car, get ahead before the first corner, then mash the brakes and intentionally crash into your opponent at the corner, he gets DQ'd for rough driving because you braked and he didn't. That's it.

    To further demonstrate CM's priorities, there is no text chat on PC (console port), instead everyone's mic is always on and you can only mute them between races; however there are detailed leaderboards... for your friends list only. Because social gaming and Facebook YO DUUUUDE.

    Quite possibly the worst racing game ever made. Based on reviews I was expecting somewhat arcadey physics, but this takes it to a whole new level and makes "Need for Speed" feel like a professional F1 simulator.

    You pretty much just plant your foot on the accelerator and vaguely steer. Come in to a corner to quick? No problem! Your car can pull up from 200mph in about 30 meters.

    There's no redeeming qualities. No upgrade path you're simply a car and a track and told to go by an annoying voiceover.

    This is a low point for racing games, and a perfect example of what's wrong with the Genre today.    … Expand

    I am not sure how much they paid the game critics to reviews it to make it 8.0, those so called "critics", I think, never played any decent game on PC before~~~~ Maybe they only play console for their entire life and think it looks nice and that is good enough..........

    The thing I hate the most is that they even try to find excuses to not include the view. How the hell they can claim that we are not able to run it if they include the CPV?!!!! It is a PC release on steam, we have real computers that has real graphic card in it!! How do you call it unable to run??!! I have tri-monitor with 1080P each. I set the game level to ultra for everything. I even put my video card TDP limited to 78%. I can still get 120 FPS out of it. How the you can not even fit a in car camera in this game since most of people only play it at 60 FPS with one screen!!!!!!!

    Just because you saved all the money to buy off critics on Metacritic does not make your game good!!!! This game just turn your biggest fan into biggest hater. Hope you are happy with my money CM cause this is the last penny you will see in my pocket.    … Expand

    This is not "grid". It's Need for speed parody. Great graphics but this is other game.
    Disappointment of the year for all fans of racing games and dissapointment of last few years for all "Racedriver: Grid" fans

    Após 2 Semanas jogando o Grid 2 fiquei com saudade do Grid 1. Jogabilidade foi piorada tornando os carros muito, mas digo muito mesmo, mais faceis de serem dirigidos. Graficamente o jogo bonito e relativamente leve. Multiplayer, sempre destaque da Codemasters, pois apresenta uma latencia (PING) baixo, frente a maioria dos adversarios.

Multiplayer, sempre destaque da Codemasters, pois apresenta uma latencia (PING) baixo, frente a maioria dos adversarios. Algo terrivel do multiplayer, que torna o jogo extremamente desanimador a maioria dos adversarios, jogam sujo, batendo propositalmente e praticamente nao existe regras para punição, transformando o jogo num Carrinho de Bate-bate. Se voce fan de Simulação de Corridas, Fique Longe! Será extremamente decepcionante! Eu desinstalei!!… Expand

    Grid 2 is an accomplished and visually strong racer let down only by a bafflingly lame Career mode narrative.

    Every situation in GRID 2 feels the same, and there is a reason. Having collected more than 50 cars in my virtual garage, I can’t point out my favorite ones – they all behave the same way, without any distinctive quirks of ‘character’. And locations that repeat ad nauseum only make this feeling worse.

    GRID 2 is an action-packed and intense experience, where the cars behave like in a Hollywood movie. It is an entertaining arcade racer, but there are a few flaws. The AI is weak, the number of tracks should be higher and the game is too simplified in a few areas.
