Our Review
The good
- Fun handling with assists on
- Varied vehicle selection
The bad
- Lack of event types
- Underwhelming visuals
- No race music
- Poor mechanical damage system
Summary
Lacking in variety in events and despite a wide array of vehicle types the absence of drifting battles, togue, multi-class racing, and any 24 hour Le Mans hold GRID back despite so much potential. GRID fails to establish an identity of its own nor hit the heights of earlier titles in the series. Ultimately it results in a game that will be forgotten about all too easily in the not so distant future. Consider GRID a 6.5 rounded up to a seven, best to wait for a sale before adding it to your collection.
