The last time I sat down with Codemasters to get a look at their upcoming racer, Grid 2, not much could be said about the multiplayer. I was excited about the single player campaign, which emphasized “being the star” of fictional Patrick Callahan’s World Series Racing, a sort of UFC of driving. But that excitement also made me equally apprehensive about Grid 2‘s multiplayer, which sounded like it would be bereft of that “star quality” the single player was touting. But after sitting with Codemasters again to discuss Grid 2 multiplayer’s at length, I’m glad to say those doubts were proven wrong.
Very, very wrong.
Not only is Grid 2‘s multiplayer as much about “being the star” as its single player experience, Grid 2 also seems to incorporate some of the same “next-gen” ideas that Sony spoke about at their conference: emphasizing strong gameplay, strong mechanics, and smart driving just as much as creating a lively online community and sharing your experience with the world.
There are no comments from Codemasters yet
I already have it on disc for 360 so you can still get on physical but those who didnt get on digital... you snooze you lose.
Indeed and if you are a PC gamer they were giving it away free recently so no excuse :D
Ugh, damn glad I bought that game with all the dlc when it was on sale. I almost didn't buy it. At least give us a heads up before removing the game? I can't just add to cart because I currently feel like playing the game at the time. Now I add to cart from the fear of it being d-listed without notice. Just like ACIII and TDU 2. I had Alpha Protocol on my wishlist and then that suddenly got removed silently and now it's too late!
GRID 2 is a fantastic racing title, with the first game in the series winning a BAFTA award back in 2009, and now, GRID 2 is free on Steam.
Last chance to get it, from next week it will be gone from steam store for good.
@Gwiz I'd have to assume this is due to licensing issues, since there's so many cars.
Great game, but I can only play if for 5 minutes before it crashes and I have to boot the game again. It's a widely known issue on Windows 10 with no fix and no expected update for it either.
The Humble Store is giving away free copies of GRID 2 + Bathurst & Spa Circuits DLC. The free game promotion runs from Thursday, March 14 at 1 PM Eastern until Sunday, March 17 at 1 PM Eastern (or while supplies last).
These humblebundle giveaway articles always take awhile to get approved on here, I already grabbed this game yesterday.
First free humble bundle game I've seen since IGN bought them out. They used to do it every month. Hopefully they start it again.
You can't be checking them very often then.
