Close Topic Options

Haven't tried it on on consoles, but I have the pc version. The physics are very arcade like, its nothing like the first one at all. Seems like the focus is drifting in this game and its pretty easy to do. The first GRID was better in my opinion, but there are more options in GRID 2. There are more mountain passes!!! The Touge mode reminds me of Kaido Battle a bit but the physics aren't as realistic. Its still pretty fun though. If you were expecting a sim, you will be let down, but its still an overall good game.

So Haruna returned???

Okay, i'm downloading it now!
I loved drifting in GRID1 so i am curious to see what they've got in 2.
Still not perfect physics eh, doesn't matter. That's what GRID always was.

I got my copy today.

It drives like dirt 3, so you can throw your car in a corner and drift around, but you can also take corners with ease and grip drive aswell, there's a good border between the 2. Even got some understeer at some points and smashed my car up good.

Offline and online are seperated, so nothing you do Offline counts for the online part.

The racing is set in tiers based on the cars, so in tier one you got your old mustangs and Nissan 300 Z's and in tier 2 your current gen muscle cars in tier 3 you higher end sport cars and in tier 4 your full on racing cars.

There are more car types in the tiers, this is what I found.

Track wise, I have only seen 4 tracks, 2 city based ones (Chicago and Miami), 1 curvy road (some route along the coast) and an Indy course and they looked pretty.

Haven't touched online yet, but you earn money from competing online to buy cars and upgrade them, no real life money just ingame money, so looking into that later.

A nice point for the online part for me was the fact that with the limited edition/Headstart Pack you get a discount off 15% on the cars and upgrades you buy.

I find the GRID 2 handling very & incredible similar to Initial D Arcade stage v 1~3 on all the racing games I've played in my life. The car doesn't hit the rev when you drift like Initial D Arcade stage v 1~3. Although when you push out of the corner it feel gutless~(The tail come out more early but the exit is far easier & less tail happy.)

For you wheel users, how is the steering sensitivity adjustments in the game working out? I remember the first Grid, I had to fiddle around with the settings to get it the way I want. Personally didn't like it when I would just steer the wheel 90 degrees and it would be enough for a hairpin already in Grid 1.

I would like some personal opinions about this before I shell out $60 in Gamestop today for this.

I'll try with my wheel later, I play it on PC but I'm thinking of getting it for console as well. For the ones of you who have it, what system do you have it for?

There is no AE86...
And no freestyle drift area. No original okutama circuit.
No impreza.

So that's a pity...

Well after having myself to research on the game more thoroughly, I think I'll just wait until the retail price drops to like $40. Which will happen hopefully in a couple of months, like Dirt 3.

Drifting is difficult too in this game.
With my Logitech Driving Force GT i have to steer 360 degrees to drift and even more to recover in a Silva S15 in a race...
So now my arms hurt, but it's still a lot of fun!

Touge and no 86. What a travesty. It's bad enough there is no cockpit view. NOW THIS? CODEMASTER WHY? I now have no intention of purchasing it.

Still no modding the cars in any way I assume? Meh.

Drift to win!

Just FYI, Offline, 4th season, 2nd race.

Lol.. The Nakazato vs. Takumi race comes to mind when I see that video. "From the outside??"

So Grid 2 is pretty fun? I loved the first game. I'll probably get this soon.

Been doing some online races, and I'm not having a lot of competition to be honest.

I shouldn't complain really, easy wins are easy.

online is also the only place where you can upgrade your cars, and with upgrade I mean buying packs that improve the car's stats.

when you buy enough packs you can put your car in the next tier and give the car a race style bodykit, and only by this way. When you de-tune it back you'll also lose the bodykit.

I have my own real Impreza. although it look more like a Corolla awd with a CVT transmission rather than a WRX.

Nowaday you should say WRX instead of Impreza, because that's an Impreza now.(my car, 0-60 in more than 10sec, also come with paddle shifter )


That's a WRX STI

Anyone on PC add me. "Mrdeap" is my user name on steam.

Hmmm, well the lack of customization and no 86 doesn't really bother me but what are your guys' opinions about the steering sensitivity? I'm about to pull the trigger for a Grid 2 activation key for Steam on eBay for $20 right now...

Quick update.

the super modified pack drops this week.

Has 4 cars from rather famous tuners from Japan.

Auto Gallery Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)
Tomei Cusco Subaru Impreza WRX STI
PANSPEED Mazda RX-7
5ZIGEN Honda Civic

I'm surprised that at least the guys here who discuss GRID 2 are far more civilized than in WME. All they did there was complain about how drifting is "bad" because you can't control the cars and hold their drifts given the cars were not set for drifting in the first place, and more for covering all forms of driving / racing styles.

I've been doing some car showcase requests here featuring random GRID 2 cars of choice and some creative music - done by both me and requested by other people around.

If you guys have any requests at all, let me know.

Here are some vids I've finished:

Been a while since I last updated the list but we've already reached 9 videos in the first season of my request list so far.

We have 2 more before we bring season 1 to a close.
We'll still accept request but it'll be for the preparation of season 2.

Here's the official playlist:
