GRID 2 - PlayStation 3

i played a lot of the first grid game. it was a lot of fun with challenging ai and a good little story. i was leery to try this game since there wasn't going to be an in car view. but i took a flyer on it and it surprised me. i use the hks controller and i usually play racing games in car view or over the hood view. it took some adjusting to get used to driving from behind. after a few races i was able to mostly make it work, though i did struggle sat times. thankfully they still have the rewind feature for those moments. once i got used to it, those moments became rare and now i am able to navigate without too much controller issues. the cars are varied and do feel different. i usually do one or two runs with any new car just to get a feel for it and then do the actual race. however, they can be a little floaty and loose at times. the ai will bump you around so get used to it. at times, it can be frustrating, but i realize what goes around comes around because there are times i am hitting them too. the campaign is similar to the last one, but instead of a girl, the voice is now a guys. my wife used to make fun of the woman's voice when she heard me playing grid, calling her my girlfriend. so at least thats an improvement. also, you don't hire teammates. that was one thing i really liked in grid for the strategy while racing. i miss that. if you want a true simulation, this is not it. this reminds me of flatout ultimate carnage a little as far as the driving but not as focused on crashes. when you do crash though, it can be pretty epic. i have flown off a couple cliffs on the pacific highway course in the game. the races are very fun and at the end of the day that is all that matters.

The game is pretty good it's not Grand Turismo but its a fun racing game graphics are good the storyline is different not what I was expecting but it ok I got it for $22 it's worth that but I wouldn't pay $40 for it

Good game, great for those who love racing games, also good for the casual versus mode with family or friends.

I was a fan of the first Grid, so getting this one i knew what i was getting into. This game has a very nice mix of arcade-ish and simulation racing. Even on medium, it has a challenge to it. Sometimes in the higher races, if you dont get in the top 3 in the hole shot, you might as well restart. Anyway, awesome graphics, gameplay mechanics, and content. A great buy for any racing fan.

One of my favorite racing series has finally returned. More Need for speed than Gran tourismo. Realistic damage with arcade/sim controls.Plenty of driving assists as well as compatible with most steering wheel setups. Highly recommended game.

This was a great game at a good price especially with the 20% gamers club discount.

Only a legendary racing game have a great quality, like the one you're in now, could handle the course you're about to drive. Just ahead, twists, turns, pitfalls and straightaways beckon to be conquered in this awesome game.

Easy game to jump right into and start playing. Fun for all ages.
