IGN- Grid 2 Review

IGN:Is this racing sequel worth taking for a spin?

LAWSON724357d ago

If only I was not part of the 5%.

SOD_Delta4357d ago

I too am part of the five percent. It's sad because it looks like a great game, but without the cockpit view I lose all immersion.

negative4357d ago

Grid was so good this was an easy decision.

Grid 2 GO!

Boody-Bandit4357d ago (Edited 4357d ago )

The dynamic cockpit camera was my favorite part of GRID. After watching this review I am going to rent it. No purchase from me since IGN complains about the amount of tracks. That is a deal breaker with me when it comes to spending my cash on any game, diversity & variety.

@negative
I get the handle, always be negative, but the removal of options for any reasons is dumbing a game down. That's never a good move. Yet that is all developers have been doing the past several years. Cutting corners and dumbing games down for the masses instead of being more complex and authentic for the core and original fans.

This industry is headed in the wrong direction. Great developers can find a mix for both instead of heading one direction or the other. Especially since most take the easier route. Dumbing down and removing options and features.

This went from a must own to in my Q list at Gamefly.

I'm one of those who normally doesn't use cockpit view.

I agree that it adds a whole new dimension to the experience but because I'm generally not very good using that view I don't use it.

It's a shame they haven't included it though.

Yip , looks like a fun racing game , with cockpit view you can hardly see the road and surroundings anyway , no loss.
I like bonnet cam myself.

Yukicore4357d ago

I am surprised that people have liked your comment. Because just some time ago there were raging people who were all about cockpit camera.

It sure does look like a fun racing game, certainly not the GRID I was expecting, judging from the 1st GRID, but it will be fun to play it at least.

Yukicore4357d ago

I just played the game, and I can say it really is very fun indeed, although in gameplay footages it looks very arcadey, when you play it yourself it feels really realistic-like and it is not that hard to f*ck up too.

I have to say, I really like racing simulation games, but they rarely give you that amazing racing feeling, however this game delivers that.

And Ultra graphics look and feel so great on PC, and doesn't ask too much resources either.

I was literally about to buy this, mental!

Marcello2090d ago

Well you only had 6 years. Where you been ? on the bog ?

CaptainCook2090d ago

At least you can get the physical version

Lon3wolf2090d ago

Shame, they were giving it away on PC for free recently, that's how I got mine :)

darthv722090d ago

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.

Lon3wolf2090d ago

Indeed and if you are a PC gamer they were giving it away free recently so no excuse :D

Goldenhawk5212090d ago (Edited 2090d ago )

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!

The original is better; but grab it nonetheless.

Marcello2173d ago (Edited 2173d ago )

Last chance to get it, from next week it will be gone from steam store for good.

Gwiz2173d ago

Nice,why is it leaving Steam?

Sgt_Slaughter2173d ago

@Gwiz I'd have to assume this is due to licensing issues, since there's so many cars.

darthv722172d ago

I have both on 360, really good racers. So yeah... get it on steam while you can.

Razzer2173d ago

Stuff like this is why I love PC gaming.

FinalFantasyFanatic2172d ago

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.
