    I'm not going to lie, I am, indeed, having much fun with this game. BUT, it is far from perfect. Far from ideal, actually. Most certainly not worth a full price tag.

    In short, the game feels like a bare-boned remake of Grid 2, but with way many bugs and crashes, with things flickering and all. But, since the bads outnumber the goods, the latter will come first, then...

    Pros:

    The opening is breath-taking. They really worked all out on that. Makes you think that the game... Is more that it really is.

    It's fun. I mean it. It is really fun. Racing really raises the tension, and the challenge of mastering the cars are just... wow. Battling against the tracks AND the car, is something else every time, even if you have driven it before. Kudos to that. The feel of the game is really... Well, Grid. If you are familiar with the series, you will feel right at home.

    The sound effects are actually pretty good.

    And... That's it.

    Now for the cons, get ready:

    The rear-view in any mirror looks like a chopped-down vídeo with sluggish FPS (it is, actually, painful to look, so just rotate the R button), the renders take their time to function; there are unpolished things everywhere; the graphics are REALLY outdated (seriously, this game does not belong in the actual level of the current generation).

    Campaign... Really just looks and feels like a bunch of challenges/events packed together without prep. I can't even count how many times I've heard the announcer say the exact same line, or the manager in my comm.

    There's no actual scaling of difficulty, just the learning curve of the cars, since they reuse many of the tracks.

    Teammates... Well, its a hit or miss, even if they are inside their specialty AND the stats are good, seems like a random algorithm somehow, since they can or cannot accompany you in the race-pacing. The instructions... Are kinda just there, since it's really limited. Really feel like it was post-thought, but they felt like it was a good idea to include it anyway.

    The car selection is very limited, but you can tune some aspects of the vehicles. BUT, since you can race on any track with the standard configurations, I just can't stop wondering if there was any reason at all for the tuning system. There are no requirements, only your practice with the cars and the track.

    Aesthetically, you can only change the liveries, adding preset ones that can be unlocked gradually as you play. The colors of said liveries are customizable, but that's that. The sponsors? Fixed. And there are cars which no visual customizations can be made whatsoever... And I'm really struggling to understand why is it even in the game, in the first place.

    The track selection... Feels really weird. It is common for racing games to recycle some tracks for events, reverting them, using some sections and all, but... this is kinda pushing it. You will race on the same track for a bazillion times, and I'm not talking about restarting events, I'm talking different events.

    And, speaking of which, the events... Are the same. Actually, Grid 2 had more events, or at least made it feel like it had more, with a more vast selection of cars and all, so the situation in this new Grid is unnerving.

    The AI, which was highly praised by the media, is... Ok? I mean, the nemesis system is really interesting in concept, but, as soon as you passed the nemesis, which is not that hard, it will make absolutely no difference whatsoever, so... I don't even understand how and why there was such praise.

    Music? Well, I really hope that you like to hear the same music-tracks over and over again, since there are just the menu/ending of events ones. No in track racing, no licenced tracks, nothing. Prepare some Spotify play-list. Just a warning.

    It really feels like a unfinished game that REALLY needs attention. I really hoped that the 2GB launch patch would fix many wrong things with the game from the get-go, but... No, don't even know what that did, since it feels like the same thing.

    Oh, and the season-pass promises 99 events and some more things, but the price tag - for love' sake that price tag - is higher than the game itself. Really reinforces the "unfinished game" feeling.

    Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game. I'm having my time with it and I am loving it. But not worth a full price-tag by a long shot and I almost regret paying it. This is an unfinished game.

    Just wait for a sale or something like that before considering buying it...    … Expand

    Me either I don't understand these guys who expect to be a Profesional race sim game. It's a pure semi arcade racing game with all the content you expect without drifting. Handling is OK AI is very smart, many different events to play, beautiful graphics unlocked fps for smoother experience. I'm at 60 hours gameplay and enjoying,also season pass is worth it.

    Codemasters will never learn. They really want to follow success of the first GRID but they failed again. GRID 2019 is as poor as GRID autosport. Driving model and graphics are kind of ok for me, but everything else is very weak for 2019. This is simply unfinished product, which becomes to be boring after several rides. All in all, it is something like poor GRID Autosport v2.0.

    Like a cross between Driveclub and Need for Speed Shift. This game hits that sweet spot between casual and hardcore extremely well and for my money is the best game of its kind of this generation.

    Where it counts out on the track its pretty good nowhere near as good as the first grid , for two reasons, the handling and the damage model. This leans alot towards arcade in terms of handling , there a few "sim" options like traction control etc , but on some cars these just dont matter. The damage model is really poor, seriously toned down, gone are the slow mo smash ups , and your car crumpling and having handling problems , now you can smash a wall and lose a bonnett..really??

    The team mate and nemises things are just padding , they are touted as things to do and watch out for ie you can order your team mate to defend etc , and if you crash into another driver often they become a nemisis and supposedly hunt you down , but it doesnt matter that much and you can easlly forget about it.

    Online is a joke , very limited options for public racing , if youve got 15 mates that have the game great you cab set up a private server full of options, but nothing like that for public games.
    So poor showing in my opinion , buy it yes, but after the price comes way down.    … Expand

    I don't know why the use score is so low. Perhaps these dudes missed the point of this game. It is not meant for hyper-realism, nor is it NFS type kiddy racing game. While you certainly need to have a good understanding of driving dynamics, punishment for a small mistake will not be race-ending harsh. The point is to have fun. And the game certainly delivers that, which is most important.

    As you know you have different race disciples in which you have to complete each event in order to get to the showdown event, after that you are given one ticket for the main Grid World Series, after receiving four tickets you gain entry to the Grid World Series which is basically the last event of the game.
    The amount of cars available throughout the game isn't really amazing, for a 2019 game there are approximately 70 cars split across 5 main categories. The amount of tracks is even more disappointing, only few real-life race tracks with those city tracks from the previous game. After some time you will quickly notice that you will practically drive on almost the same track with one of their variants and the weather changed.
    The name of the events isn't very colorful, you have three different events with the same name in which only thing changed is the location of the events for ex. TC-1 Special Europe, TC-1 Special Asia and TC-1 Special America and many more. One thing which is even more irritating for me is that at the half of the category you already have the opportunity to drive the fastest car of the category which kills the idea of why I want to get to the end of the category. The only events which I enjoyed the most were the invitationals one in which you practically drive different cars almost every other event.
    The sponsor's main and bonus objective are turned into race objectives in which you don't earn more money, but this time you earn different accolades and more racing liveries.
    Race commentators and race engineer become repetitive after some time and even annoying.
    In this game your race team's name doesn't matter, nor the livery you choose, because you will have the opportunity to change it per car, the only thing which matters is your teammate. Teammate role is to earn more money according to its final race position and how much of the final profit he/she wants to keep for himself/herself.
    The game graphics are amazing, so far the best I've seen, the physics are impressive too, this game can be fun for both arcade and sim drivers (just one thing to note, there are not many tuning option or better said the tuning options are simplified in order to make it more affordable for beginners).

    All in all a great game, great for both arcade and sim racers, amazing graphics and physics, but after some time you will find some things repetitive, the events are pretty straightforward races, not many race types, only races and time attacks. I personally enjoyed playing the game, but at the end I realised how many things could have been added in order to make this game more colorful or better said to give this game a soul.    … Expand

    Yes, playing is addictive. Different cities and roads, worked out to perfection and cockpits with settings and functions, I think this game deserves attention.

    Too much arcade but anyway great game. They could make better replay camera with TV style, so is little bit frustrating. However this game will bring you lot of fun.

    Jogo bom, mas deixou muito a desejar. Primeiro os pontos negativos e depois vemos os positivos.

    Ele começa muito bem, dá um hype dizendo que vc irá participar de um grande campeonato mundial chamado Grid world series. Até ai beleza, porém no decorrer do game tudo se torna monótono demais, não tem grandes variedades de carros como no GT ou Forza, são poucas marcas, e poucos modelos para    Jogo bom, mas deixou muito a desejar.

    Ele começa muito bem, dá um hype dizendo que vc irá participar de um grande campeonato mundial chamado Grid world series. Até ai beleza, porém no decorrer do game tudo se torna monótono demais, não tem grandes variedades de carros como no GT ou Forza, são poucas marcas, e poucos modelos para escolher por categoria.
    n tem muitos circuitos para correr, existe variações de um mesmo local para correr, encurtando certos pontos, ou alongando, mas isso não deixa a gameplay "nova" vc ta ali correndo no mesmo lugar só que de uma forma encurtada ou alongada, e isso deixa o jogo cansativo. esse é um dos motivos de deixa-lo tão monótono além dos carros.

    A chuva, eu acho que os Devs amam uma chuva, toda playlist que vc vai correr sempre tem uma maldita corrida embaixo de chuva, e geralmente é a corrida com mais voltas e com o maior circuito enquanto as demais são as menores e com menos voltas. isso é algo irritante demais, pois a jogabilidade é afetada quando vc joga na chuva, sendo necessário tomar mais cuidado ao fazer uma curva, consequentemente vc fica mais tempo correndo, e detalhe, vc corre em um circuito que vc já está enjoado de correr com um carro q também vc já enjoo de tanto que correu com ele.

    O dinheiro, é a coisa mais inútil do jogo, não tem valor nenhum, vc ganha muito dinheiro no jogo, tem corridas que te pagam 500 mil, outras 300 mil, depende... e vc só usa a moeda para comprar carros, e nada mais, sendo que o preço dos carros são baratos, o mais caro acho q é o de F1 q custa 3 milhoes, que vc compra rapidinho. vc tb n pode comprar melhorias pros seus carros, como motor, rodas, turbo etc. ate a pintura do carro que é a única coisa personalizável vc não compra vc apenas desbloqueia com o tempo.

    Penalidades, isso é algo bom pra punir quem cortar um caminho por fora do trajeto. O jogo te pune com +2 seg do seu tempo final caso vc pegue um atalho pelo mato, mas isso é algo ruim tb caso vc faça uma boa curva e sem querer ao final dela vc vai pra grama, vc é penalizado, por ter errado sem querer uma curva, ou quando um NPC te roda e vc acaba sendo jogado pra fora, esse sistema é interessante, mas é muito mal executado, pois penaliza aquele que já sofreu.

    Porsche, não é bem um ponto negativo, mas todos os carros dessa marca são horríveis, não fazem a curva, tem um péssimo freio e a aceleração é horrível. não recomendo escolher caso tenha ela na lista.

    Sistema de Lv, vc pode upar, mas parece que não faz diferença nenhuma vc ser nível 99 ou 01, a única coisa que desbloqueia são pinturas e só. coisa q não influencia na gameplay. Logo, é apenas um numero bonito do lado do nome.

    As recompensas das corridas se baseiam apenas em dinheiro, vc não ganha carros. vc apenas desbloqueia uns banners pro seu nome, e uns troféus pra exibir no seu perfil, nada muito útil.

    Agora pra quem gosta de uma platina ou 1000g. a conquista " volta ao mundo" é um inferno pra conseguir, não q seja difícil, mas é demorado demais. ela exige que vc percorra no jogo a quilometragem equivalente ao do planeta Terra, ou seja 40mil KM. se vc faz o jogo inteiro incluindo as DLCs, vc chega a marca de apenas 6mil KM, os outros 34mil vc temque fica farmando em indianapolis com 99voltas varias e varias vezes (é o método mais rápido). Então levaria umas 100 horas de gameplay pro 100% das conquistas

    As DLCs são pobres, adcionam uns campeonatos mais do mesmo, que vemos na carreira normal, com apenas um local novo pra correr ( e suas variações) e umas três categorias de carros novos, com apenas uma dúzia de veículos novos, nada muito impactante.

    Trilha sonora, o jogo só tem uma que é a do menu, chega uma hora que cansa. durante a corrida n tem música nenhuma, mais fácil vc tirar a musica do jogo e puxar a suas próprias.

    Pontos positivos, são poucos... Os NPC do jogo são muito aleatórios, as vezes eles te batem, sofrem acidente, realmente disputam posição com vc, isso deixa a gameplay mais divertida, vc tem um colega de equipe q vc pode dar comandos de avançar ou pedir pra manter a posição, é útil quando vc esta em primeiro e ele em segundo que ai ele defende as possíveis ultrapassagens.

    Os NPCs podem ficar bravos, se vc bater demais neles ou bater com muita força, eles ficam agressivos e tentam rodar vc na pista, jogar vc na parede etc. isso inclui seu colega de equipe, ele fica bravo com vc se vc é hostil com ele. nesse dois pontos a IA esta muito boa n tem o que reclamar.

    a gameplay é gostosa, vc sente o peso do carro, a velocidade, na chuva vc sente que é escorradio exigindo mais cuidado. e caso vc erre alguma curva, vc pode voltar no tempo e consertar o erro.

    Não recomendo compra-lo custando 170 reais / 40 dólares ele não vale isso, compre-o em uma promoção ou usado por 60 reais ou 50 q seja. 10 à 15 dólares    … Expand

    A solid reboot of the popular racing series, which is strong when it comes to driving, but it suffers from lack of content and rushed development. The game could have used a few more months of development, so that even the biggest perfectionist wouldn´t have any issues. [Issue#299]

    The incredible visuals don’t (quite) make up for the unbalanced racing, and the kinetic feel, pit radio, career mode, and damage modelling are all inferior to the 2008 original. [Issue#169, p.86]

    Codemasters managed to create the perfect racing atmosphere, utilizing a top-notch driving model and excellent AI, but then they kind of forgot about everything else: the car pool is tiny, the Career Mode is non-existent, the team management is lacklustre.
