Hands-On Preview: GRID 2 – Electronic Theatre

The original Race Driver: GRID didn’t exactly set the industry alight upon it’s initial launch back in 2008, but it has since built a string following thanks to be a highly quality production that offers unique racing thrills. From it’s figure-8 tracks to it’s explosive barrels, Race Driver: GRID presented an experience that would remain entirely it’s own until last year’s DiRT Showdown, which comes from the same stable. The hope is that Codemasters will replicate this formula and build on the success of Race Driver: GRID in the forthcoming sequel, but a lot has happened to the racing genre in the last five years.
