I have to say, I was surprised that GRID is so straightforward. After GRID Autosport, I expected a game that was more simulation-intensive, but GRID is the opposite. It is really fun to heat with the different vehicle types over the great designed courses. Sure, the route selection is clear and the fleet cannot compete with some competition, but GRID is also a game that is fun and does not necessarily kill you with an almost infinite number of races. For a successor, however, I hope to expand the Nemesis system because it has potential that will become more. Otherwise, GRID is aimed at all drivers who finally want an entertaining racing game again.

It's not often a racing game comes along and hits the sweet spot between simulation and arcade, and yet that is exactly the balance that the developer haσ hit with GRID. Fantastic, speedy chaotic, gameplay, supported by some great visual and sound design, giving racing fans of all levels and abilities another great title this year worth diving into with gusto. Totally recommended to genre aficionados, especially after the inevitable split-screen update.

Due to the inherent problems that exist with the duration of the races in combination with the problematic AI, Grid leaves you with the feeling of another missed opportunity rather than a sweet taste.

GRID is a game that has excellent fundamentals, but does not go to the bottom of everything it could have proposed. It's like having a meal with appetizers only. Each time, elements that are only suggested or barely revealed are missing. So we remain a little on our hunger, hoping a version 2.0 much deeper!

GRID is a brilliant arcade racer, acing the feel and emotions of driving fast cars fast.

GRID is an ideal game for someone who doesn't really care about the amount of content and focuses on the core gameplay mechanics instead. This reboot could have definitely been better, though.

A competent, if unambitious arcade racing game that puts in a solid midfield performance, but falls well short of making the podium.

GRID 2019 is a hodgepodge of past entries of the series with a clear lack of content and has problems with a variety. Even so the game is quite good. If you've missed the series, you can give it a try, but maybe it's better to do it on sale after going through the major fall hits.

GRID does what it always did best: pure and unadulterated arcade fun. It doesn’t have an elaborate career mode, nor it needs to. It’s a breath of fresh air in a generation filled with open world racing games.

GRID has some interesting new features, but at the end is a very classic sim-arcade driving game with solid engine and gameplay

GRID returns and reaches the finish line in triumphant fashion. Codemaster commitment to blend arcade and simulation elements is, undoubtedly, a winning formula that is only strengthened with the furiousness of the AI.

Grid is a decent reboot. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that some may expect and the number of tracks are a bit lackluster, but what it is missing is made up for with great handling cars and a fun race gameplay. People looking for a good racer havefound one here even with the issues it may have.

GRID is a strange one to evaluate, since the important parts of a racing game, the racing itself, is great.

GRID has an excellent gameplay, however, the whole package ends up failing due to its excessve simplicity and the online mode that is far below what you can expect from current standards.

Invigorating arcade racing let down by lightweight multiplayer and campaign modes.

However, taken on its own merit, GRID is a fantastic audiovisual experience, a decent racing game, and a barebones package. It's the epitome of just enough, but enough is the optimal word here. Here's hoping the next GRID can kick on bigger, better, and more ambitious things.

Maintaining all the trademarks that distinguished it from other arcade racers, Grid has returned boasting driving just as engaging as before. Limits are reached in some core areas of gameplay such as though such as the number of locations, and the formula may prove stale for those looking for a road less traveled.

Codemasters always nail it with the car elements, like audio, handling, and environments. However, I believe Grid still lacks in the multiplayer, customization, and social aspects of the game. Do you believe jumping down San Francisco in GT3 cars is realistic? No. Is It fun? Hell yes! I’ve been waiting for Grid’s return for a number of years now, and It’s safe to say I’m loving it. Thanks to Codemasters for reviving one of my childhood series, I can’t wait to see what DLC’s and content comes to Grid throughout the years to come!
