Grid 2
7/10
I've been playing this for a couple of days (PS3) and I absolutely love it. I won't give it near perfect marks because there are a couple of issues and it definitely isn't a ground breaking title IMHO.
Problems: well I'm not a graphics nut and even though the game looks good it is nothing new. It is what I expected it to be really. Then the very first time the game is loaded my friend and I both had the controllers on and the game forced me to drive and finish a race alone before we both could play split screen. The split screen menu was not easy to find either :/
Positives: I loved GT5 but it this as a more arcade/fun feeling to it. Power sliding those muscle cars around the track is awesome fun and the damage the car takes and the effects thereof is awesome! The career mode is great fun as well especially all the different race modes.
And then there are the tracks which are in new and exotic locations (well, for me at least). You get to drive through Chicago, Dubai, Forests in America and and Japan and on proper race tracks.
Overall - great game to play when you're not in the mood to think too much about what you are doing
