![]() ![]() The fundamentals are just right, pretty much (and that's coming from someone who likes cars as much as he does genital fungus). That doesn't stop me enjoying racing games as good as GRID though. Having said that, sometimes I do consider using analogue sticks for car games, for the obvious reason of being able to make graded turns, rather than binary ones. For myself, pads can get stuffed, I'll soldier on with my trusty arrows. Well it is, but I just can't be doing with pads unless I have to put myself in someone else's shoes for purposes of review. I Play Racing games with the keys, which is viewed as being some kind of mad thing to do. Each car, aside from the M3 E30 or the Alfa 155, drives almost identically. GRID’s car choices, though it looks diverse, sporting a meaty 43 cars (a good roster for 2008), is relatively monotone when on the track. Nearly every racing game is centered around choosing your own car, upgrading its specs, and trying out a variety of combinations in an effort to become the ultimate racer. Perhaps the worst part of GRID, however, is the limited choices you have for cars and tracklists. You’ll start paying attention to initially minute things like the repetitive layout of the tracks, the lack of proper team management as seen in GRID’s predecessors, and user interface is unintuitive. I think that the overall execution for GRID was acceptable – the real problems start to become apparent the longer you play it. Seasoned veterans will have their qualms and a few bugs (usually AI issues) can be a drag, though I don’t think they have a heavy impact on how much fun GRID can be. Even if you don’t particularly like the racing sim genre, this game can act as a good starting point on its own. ![]() GRID also has decent graphics and has some great moments as an arcade racing game.Įvery race feels like its high stakes, the team building generates a bit of diversity, career mode and seasons are a bit bland but use a good formula overall, and the tracks had interesting designs and were just challenging enough to keep me interested. The 2015 rerelease of Need For Speed was, unfortunately, a victim of carelessness regarding its controls. In racing games, its obvious why that’s such an important feature. They’re smooth, responsive, and honestly never gave me much trouble. ![]()
