    Not Recommended at Full Price!
    Feels like a lazy Cash grab release!
    Grid 2019 it's a good game but isn't great. It brings back all the great driving of the original game but feels like the passion for the IP has gone. Career mode is very simple affair where you just win races in each series to unlock bigger and better competitions very little team managment going on and basic tuning    Not Recommended at Full Price!

    Grid 2019 it's a good game but isn't great.
    It brings back all the great driving of the original game but feels like the passion for the IP has gone. Career mode is very simple affair where you just win races in each series to unlock bigger and better competitions very little team managment going on and basic tuning options available. The damage model seems to have zero effect on the car mechanically but looks ok, a downgrade from the original! Cars feel great like the original but alot less skill required compared to other games Forza/DIrt Rally/ etc. The game seems to have a penalty system in place for bad drivers but seems a little hit and miss with regards to cutting corners. Wall riding doesn't seem to be a thing and will usually cause you to spin out/slow down. Graphics are nice but not setting any new standards. Performance was ok on my system no stuttering or crashing. There's fun to be had with Grid 2019 but ultimately falls short of being a Classic like the original. No VR support feels like a massive mistake on CM's part as i think it would work great with GRID.    … Expand

    The game feels unfinished, radically different from the original Grid (2007). No career racer from the bottom to the top, no garage with the team, not even epic music in the replays of the race - everything is simplified. There is a list of races and cars, choose and go - racing without a soul.

    I saw the YT video that was put toghether by Don Joewon Song (titled "GRID World Exclusive - You have to own this game!!!") and thought that this Grid was going to be all that I hoped for after being a bit dissappointed with the saga's orientation after the second Grid. Unfortunately, after trying it a bit, I can say the same as other users have said here: this is racing without a soul.I saw the YT video that was put toghether by Don Joewon Song (titled "GRID World Exclusive - You have to own this game!!!") and thought that this Grid was going to be all that I hoped for after being a bit dissappointed with the saga's orientation after the second Grid.

    The bad:
    1) Controls are clunky and erratic. Even had some trouble getting used to it with an Xbox controller.
    2) Graphically wise it is no better than any of the current racing games, at all.
    3) There's no actual feel of a campaign, just the typical different categories of racing, like "Tuner", "Stock" or "Touring" and you just select the event, buy or get in a car, and race.
    4) The only customization you can do is on the liveries.
    5) There's no sense of speed (or at least it doesn't correlate with the speed I see on the HUD).

    The good:
    1) They brought back the cockpit camera, which was something great from the first Grid that was missing in the others.    … Expand

    OK on a controller, better on a wheel. It writes it's own rules for how cars drive, it's less an arcade-sim like Forza and more like if Need For Speed was given some more sim elements. You'll either love it for it's irreverent take on a serious racer or you'll hate it for it's loose controls and erratic behavior.

    Mixed feelings all along.

    The racing itself is good, the AI punishes you for mistakes, makes mistakes of their own and provides a great challenge on Very Hard difficulty. The game looks fresh, with great weather and sun effects. The cars sound good too. It's not a sim, but it doesn't pretend to be. But the content and for lack of a better word, soul, is missing. It feels rushed and    Mixed feelings all along.

    But the content and for lack of a better word, soul, is missing. It feels rushed and unfinished. There is no real sense of progression, no real sense of being part of a team or being an aspiring young race car driver. You just go from one soulless race to the other. The cars get quicker and the races get tougher, and that's basically it. Money in this game seems to serve no purpose apart from buying new cars (which you are forced to do if you want to progress) and customization options.

    Fans of the original GRID will lament this game for having no team ownership aspect, no rivalries against other teams. Fans of Autosport will lament this game for its lack of tracks. Fans of both will lament this game for it's piss poor damage modeling.

    For now, I can't really recommend the game. Wait for a sale or the inevitable complete edition once DLC cars and tracks have all been released.    … Expand

    Not enough content, lack of a car customization, pretty meh graphics. But colorgrading and lightning is pretty, smart ai, xbox one controller feedback feels fantastic. It was fun game to play, but far from perfect.

    Эта часть - работа над ошибками предыдущей части. Удачно. Даже так - лучшая часть в серии.

    not bad game, but not good either. The multiplayer is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent

    It’s disheartening to see that Codemasters wasn’t even trying. On its own, new Grid is an okay arcade racing game, but it’s hard to ignore that the previous one was far better. [Issue#242, p.56]

    If you are a fan of racing games or the GRID franchise, this would be a great addition to your library!

    There’s truly a decent game here with its foundational systems that could be developed into a more well-rounded title. But as it stands this is a £45 game, it is neither fair nor warranted that this game is just okay. Codemaster’s had already promised ahead of its release that Grid (2019) would be receiving a bevy of further racetracks, cars and modes for its player base. Yet with a dwindling interest, this seems too little too late.
