IGN - Grid 2: On the Right Track

IGN - In 2008, Codemasters released one of the best received racing games of all time, Race Driver: Grid. Keenly balancing driving simulation and pure racing elements, Grid did much to re-invigorate the genre, most notably with its oft-imitated Flashback feature. Then, nothing. In the four years since, there have been three DiRT releases and two F1 titles from the developer, but not so much as a whiff of burning rubber from Grid. Until last week, when Codies salaciously teased a new entry. Panning over a gorgeously modelled car and capped with a flash of the logo, the hint was a mere 20 seconds long – but still enough to get gamers’ engines revving.
