Grid Reviews
What this reboot of the GRID franchise does well, it does really well.
Grid is its own creation, but players will see the slight resemblance of other racing games and appreciate the newest installment in the genre of Motorsports Racing. Patience is key to get a true and enjoyable racing experience from GRID, but if you are short on that be prepared to miss out on a very good title.
Even though GRID delivers sweet graphics and an incredible driving experience, the title suffers from a weak carreer-mode, a stiff presentation and an obsolete Multiplayer, so that it misses out any long-term motivation. Nevertheless, fans of intensive racing action should try out GRID, because its great driving mechanics still delivers enough fun for short sessions.

While the driving and races are fun, thanks to the new AI mechanics, the optimization on the base consoles is horrible and, as a full package, it feels repetitive and lacks almost all the content expected for a reboot of a way better game from 2008.

Ultimately, Codemasters plays it safe with GRID, for better and worse. There's certainly a lack of features, less modes, and a lesser number of cars and tracks than other contemporary racers. This is a no-frills arcade racer, but a very good one. If solid racing action is the only thing you care about, GRID has it in spades.
Overall, Grid is a fun racing game that gives you a good variety of options for cars and maps, but in the same token is found lacking in these categories as well. For as big as the world is, and for as many car companies are out there, you want a little bit more variety in a racing game that is spread out globally. Grid is launching today for $59.99 USD and gives you more than enough to get your money's worth out of it.
After five years from the release of Autosport, the Codemasters series is back in the limelight with a chapter that is not particularly innovative but extremely enjoyable and fun

Once again, Codemasters has proved that it deserves a place in the grand pantheon of racing game developers with GRID. Alongside the DiRT games and F1 series, GRID is another exemplary racer that will scratch the itch of even the most demanding racing game player.
GRID doesn’t look like a game that will age well.
GRID is an average racing reboot with no real personality. Despite the short races, strong AI, two new street tracks, and the shift towards arcade, it struggles because of so many recycled tracks, poor damage modeling, and disappointing multiplayer.
Grid is a great looking game and features some excellent driving and physics. It's let down by a questionable damage system and boring design. From the games dull menus to no-frills racing, there's just not enough here to separate it from the pack.
Codemasters' attempt to reboot the GRID franchise feels a bit unnecessary mainly due to its shallow campaign, and lack of content.

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

If you are a fan of racing games or the GRID franchise, this would be a great addition to your library!
GRID is a strange one to evaluate, since the important parts of a racing game, the racing itself, is great.
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.
