    this game only for experts. only expert can run without guide line. so much hate this game. I want easy mode without guideline. but can not. higher level can remove guideline, but mid-level AI so hard. this game only for experts. if you are rookie racer then don't recommend this. moreover replay camera so suck. too too many close up shots.

    I really tried liking this game. I'm a fan of motorsport games, but this game is god awful.

    Let's start with the obnoxious intro videos that can't be skipped. I understand that studios are proud of their work, but seriously, no one wants to sit through boring intro videos. Visually the game looks good, even when docked. I didn't notice pop-in and even the though the game prompted me    I really tried liking this game.

    Visually the game looks good, even when docked. I didn't notice pop-in and even the though the game prompted me to download the high-quality texture pack, I didn't really bother because everything looks fine to me.

    Now, to the elephant in the room, and the reason for the low score...the woeful A.I. It's just plain terrible to non-existent. Every car drives exactly the same way, ignoring the player completely while not really competing with each other. I've seen destruction derby's that are less brutal! Naturally, when A.I. cars crash into each other, there is little issue, they just keep on going, but when an A.I. car hits the player...you go careening out of control, no matter how minor the bump. It's like the A.I. was modeled to perform the P.I.T. maneuver. Of course, it doesn't matter how many cars, tracks, race formats the game has, if the A.I. acts like a player-seeking-missile, you really need to be quite lucky to get through a race unscathed, even when you are giving them room.

    For me this completely ruins the experience. It's a shame there isn't more competition to give this sorry excuse for one a racing game a run for it's money.    … Expand

    GRID Autosport is almost in a class of its own on the Nintendo Switch. The game is one of the best looking Switch games and is the best racing simulator experience available on the console. While games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Crash Team Racing lead the system’s kart racing options–GRID Autosport has shot to the top of the list if you want to race in real-world environments. The level of care that Feral has put into the Switch version is apparent with even more options to come. If you’re in the market for a racing sim to take on-the-go, you can’t do any better than GRID Autosport.

    The arrival of GRID Autosport in the Nintendo Switch catalogue represents a rare moment where a driving simulator lands in a Nintendo console, something which had not happened in a long time. GRID's plentiful content, its challenging and tough gameplay and the possibility to select between a better visual performance or a more fluid game experience make this one of the finest driving games on the Nintendo Switch.

    GRID Autosport, in its Switch incarnation, is a technically accomplished port of a solid entry in a genre defining franchise that falls right in-between arcade fun and driving sim. The level of polish to ensure maximum performance and visual fidelity in both modes is astounding and Feral Interactive deserves all the praise it can get for it. With solid gameplay, a wide range of difficulty options, and an amount of content to please everyone, it is the de facto best serious racing game on the system at the time of its release. However, repetitiveness and complete lack of multiplayer at launch, hold it back from being absolutely perfect in every way.
