I am going to start this by saying that I am by no means an avid race fan. I don’t stay up until 3am to watch the big race, and I have never dreamed about sitting in an F1 Racer. That being said, I didn’t hate Grid 2 and in fact found it quite enjoyable for what it is; a good racing game for racing fans. There are a few issues with the game that stop it from taking the leap forward to being one of those truly great racing sims.
I was pleasantly surprised with the campaign for Grid 2. I jumped in expecting nothing more than a loose threat to tie together a few races, but what I got was far from that. You start your racing career as an amateur, doing street races for cash before you are scouted by a rich petrol-head who is looking to start up his own racing league, the WSR. His dream is to create a league filled with the best drivers from all over the world and from all racing disciplines to determine who truly is the best in the world. You are selected...
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.

Good review.
I appreciate the honesty right from the start (not being an avid race fan) and detailed review. The only thing I might critique you on is that the GRID series isn't trying to be a simulator. The only simulator Codemasters makes is F1 series.
GRID and DIRT blur the lines between sim and arcade like the Project Gotham series. That's why I personally love Codemaster games and miss PGR.
Don't get me wrong. I love sims the most but sometimes I want depth and craziness of an arcade title mixed into one. Variety. The only pure arcade racers I will play is if they have wheel support. Can't play my driving games without my FFB wheel and racing rig. (check profile pic by clicking my N4G account)
