    this was my childhood game growing up, i'm in love with the sense of progression not only in the vehicles you get to drive, but the sense of progression of your career as wsr becomes more and more of a phenomenon . great video :)

    This might be a rare take but you CAN visually transform the cars in this game, albeit only in multiplayer. You can transform a Tier 1 Dodge Charger into an upper tier car with a body kit mimicking that of the Charger Daytona, and so with all the other street cars. Why the hell they didn't implement this into single player? Nobody knows, i suggest anyone curious to check out the hidden body kits throughout youtube, only and exclusively if you were active in Grid 2's multiplayer you would get a chance to know they exist.

    2/10 Handling
    This could've easily been the second-best game in the series and be extremely close to the first one at being the best if they didn't make the handling overly arcady and drifty. I don't know why they decided to alienate their existing players with that handling. The perfect Grid game would be something that combines the best of Race Driver: Grid, GRID 2 and GRID Legends.

    I own this game at 2013 in pirated version. In 2019 I got it from Humble Bundle, and start buying some DLC. The handling is really best for me. Drift, Balance, and Grip well built. This is the best drift physic as well as Touge Max series, Option, Ridge Racer and Japanese drift games.

    You know it took me a youtuber and a second playthrough to understand it's handling model, when it clicked for me. Oh joy, drifting through corners and being aggresive is what made me enjoyed more than autosport ever did even though I put more hours into autosport than grid 2 due to more easily accessed online multiplayer. Grid 2 to me is the best arcade racer for the 7th gen consoles by far.

    I was never into racing much, only played pure arcades like need for speed. Liked Shift 1 and ToCA 1, though.
    I tried Grid 1 as a kid, but it didn't invest me much, especially because of drifting mechanics that I couldn't really get back then.
    With the clean racing system and constant tire pop when picking T4 SLR, I learned more respectful play style with the cars and people around me. It got me invested more in racing games with simulation elements. Good times.

    GRID 2 is one of the only RACE DRIVER // GRID series I've ever played.
    I was hyped on this game because of the way our boss, Patrick Callahan, presents his vision of racing and his dream of make a big racing championship, comparing the Driver to a Businessman in all of the trailers he has spoken. The trailers for this game told me a small story I was so invested in.
    Then I've heard the news, that the game is trash compared to GRID 1 because it's "arcadey", has no racing strategies, the career which was a lackluster. I became hesistant to buy the game, but I did not have the chance to get RACE DRIVER GRID...
    So, when I saw that GRID 2 was in promo on Steam, I Jumped in... and this game is to me one the greatest racing games I have ever played in my life. Everything in this game is orchestrated to be Intense from A to Z when you're racing against your opponents. The AI, the Physics, the Music, the Atmosphere are harmonized to make sure that I, the player, was immerged not only as an actor but also as a spectator.
    Speaking of Music, this game alone is to me the reason why I consider Ian Livingstone as THE greatest composer ever ( better than Brian Tyler, Hans Zimmer, Paul Linford, Joseph Trapanese etc ). I still has goosebumps everytime I hear the Eliminator Theme or Adrenaline Rush. I still got chills when I stay in the garage for 30 mins looking at the Mustang. He puts his music where it matters the most in each race.
    GRID 2 is the greatest "Show and Don't Tell" Racing Game I have ever played

    Hello there some notes from someone who got my own share of grid 2 gaming (i host tournaments to this day),
    1. there is a mod for a inside car camera, and devs mentioned that camera from the inside was suppose to be ingame but was scrapped almost at the end since it felt wreid with the handling, it looked similiar to dirt 3 inside cam from what we know
    2. 6:15 those cutscenes are prerendered, they are videos that are saved in the files and the player name is put on top of the video, fancy trick but works well
    3. the handling probably felt wreid because from what im seeing you tried to grip most of the time, where this game handling pushes you to try drift almost every corner in any car, of course grip is in some cars fun but i agree it feels wreid most cases, and to drift you need to get used to it, like learning a bike
    -and glad you enjoyed one of my fav games, im not a person who enjoys grid 1 and usually grid 1 people really dont like this game so im glad you looked at it in positive light 😆

    The OVERTAKE mode!! God Damn, that is the best unique mode I played in any game, never saw anything like it in any other game, and no one talks about it! I love that it really pushes you to go both for speed and controlled clean racing, as well as predicting the racing lines of other cars and your own... I love it, and it is shameful that it only comes up some 5 times in the career, and only on invitational (once you have done each, it is gone). It is the thing I remember the most from this game!
    Also, this is one of the very last modern games with split screen racing. Like last month me and my gf wanted to race agaisnt each other, this was the one I pulled up.

    I love how the crowds react to your driving in the street circuits and depending on which country you're racing, their accent also changes. Also the team radio being slightly distorted when you go under a tunnel is a neat little detail. But boy oh boy the drift2win physics model makes it so easy to die in this game (Speaking from experience 😂). Some cars are even just straight up painful to drive. If Grid 2 had Grid 1 or even Autosport's physics, I think people would have receive this game a lot better.

    I loved the original Grid so much when it was new. Having amazing damage and rewind functions was awesome. When the second game came out I preordered it and played it for probably a couple hours before I was so disappointed I tried to return it or sell it but when GameStop offers 30 bucks for a day old game I just kept it and never went back... I just could not get behind how much more arcade it felt compared to the OG and the other codemasters DIRT games.

  • @dr.sivavignesh664
    @dr.sivavignesh664 18 часов назад +1

    The problem with grid 2 handling model is that the game wants you to " brake to drift " most corners. ( because on higher difficulties if you don't , you are seconds behind your opponents/ time ). While in grid 2008 you had a grip model that can be hard braked to drift certain corners to get an angle. Clearly race driver grid's model is the best since the driver has to determine which corners to grip and which to mildly drift. When its grid 2 slamming the brakes just sends you to a drift and you just drift all corners. Grid autosport sort of fixes the handling but adds new problems like the entire game being just sponsored events ( this is just one mode in grid 2008) and later championships having like 10 races ( each having 2 rounds ) which feel like an eternity.
    NOTE : assists in grid autosport make your car slower which is ridiculous. Leave everything off except ABS.

    Loved the race types along with promo events.
    The handling is challenging but so freaking satisfying, like nailing a perfect drift around a corner.

    I played Grid 2 at release, but couldn't get a grip on the physics. Back then it was fun enough to play together with a friend for a few hours, but I didn't stick with the game for long. The tracks did stick in my head though.
    And this year has been the racing game year for me, which, of course, meant I've replayed the GRID series.
    And this time I decided to fully embrace Grid 2's drift oriented physics, and holey sheet, the game is so much fun!
    It has become by far my favorite break-to-drift game, and I enjoyed that play stile like I didn't even know I ever could.
    And the tracks! Oh, the tracks! I freaking love this game's tracks design. These tracks has been stuck in my head for 12 years since release, and for the damn good reason - they are so well designed and fun to drive on. This game shows that city tracks can actually be FUN and exciting, in striking contrast with Gran Turismo's flat-out-straignt-into-90-degrees-into-flat-out-straight-into-hairpin phylosophy.
    The main downside of this game for me is the career. It is soooooooo freaking overstretched in the later half and outstays its welcome way beyond reasonable. It feels like the last season alone is longer then the rest of the career combined.

    Hey dude, just want to leave a positive comment. I've been watching your videos for quite sometimes now. You are truly one of THE BEST racing game reviewer/commenter that I've ever encountered. Keep up the good work, man.

    Waiting for people to comment "wow this looks good for being a 2013 game" as if 2013 was THAT long ago graphically speaking, it's not from 2003

    In Poland game was really popular not only for campaign but also multiplayer. You can see complications of rage on multiplayer and also people having fun in multiplayer. I think personally that majority of players want racing game that is simple not much realistic and GRID 2 offered exactly that while NFS game went downhill back then. I enjoy this game just like plenty of people.
    Best Regards

    Recently completed Grid 2 on Steam Deck and it's fantastic experience.
    Now I'm finishing Grid Autosport - it's a different game, yet still very very good. Looking forward to trying 2019 and Legends.

    Grid 2, eventhough can't compare to the original Racedriver Grid, was so damn enjoyable to the point I'm not even bother that much in restarting the whole storymode 3 times. Also the thing that worth mentioning is how Grid 2's ost are just some of the best that I've heard (my personal fan are definetly Garage 4 and Elinimation theme)

    Yeah I was so hyped for Grid 2 after Grid (bought both day 1) and Grid 2 was sooooo different. I loved the social approach of Grid and how fun the destruction derby and drift were online… Grid 2 lacked that

    13:30 Grid 2 physics model highly benefits aggressive driving. That "weight" on the rear axle what you mentioned later in the video is actually an immense grip which appears progressively with increase of slide angle. Some cars are more prone to this, and hence - retain more speed through drift.
    That specific trait of Grid 2 handling lets some tier 3 drift cars (like Evo or S13) to set some of the fastest times on tracks like miami and other really corner based routes. Some grip cars are barely drivable in online, cause their inability to execute smooth and controllable drift - just kills all speed in corners way too quickly.
    All of that simply forces players in online to pick slidy cars and drive sideways. Singleplayer is also far more enjoyable when you drift much more than you supposed too.
    I highly recommend checking out online and the way people drive there. On Steam, servers are still open and there're still more players online compared to some new Grid titles.
    I personally have 700+ hours in Grid 2 and can guarantee that this game provided one of the most intense online racing experiences out there.

    With this video, i am convinced that UltraViolet is watching me. I've recently played both Race Driver Grid and GRID 2. I loved them both and wanted to hear other people's opinions about them. And here he is making videos about the both of them. I appreciate it a bunch. Love your videos, you show such insincerity.

    As racing games me and my friends could play online reliably dwindled, Grid 2 made for a great game that we played often. But as a TOCA and Grid 1 fan, I was pretty disappointed.

    The game did introduced us the true break to drift handling model, something we see from Hot Wheels Unleashed or other games having it for some ridiculous reason…

    I completely forgot that I have this game from a free giveaway until I bought Autosport for the Switch and then checked my Steam account found it there. This video prompted me to install it and fire it up.
    Obviously since this is my first time playing I have yet to form any solid opinions about it. From what I've seen so far, I do enjoy the game, and it looks remarkably good for a title from 2012. But having Autosport to compare from, the omission of track racing pretty glaring, and the handling definitely has a more Need For Speed arcade feel to it, though in a very nice way. I don't really like drift-type racers in general, but I think Grid 2 manages to strike a nice middle ground between feeling sufficiently grippy and still managing to chain drifts. What's weird about it is in the early races that I'm at now, braking is largely overkill and unnecessary, and it's better to simply release the throttle when you need to take a sharp corner. This is a game where aggressive driving is more rewarding than the more track-oriented nature of Autosport. I think I'll enjoy Grid 2, but it's certainly a very different beast from Autosport. With Need For Speed: Shift being one of my personal favourite racers of all time, Autosport felt like a spiritual successor to that, and strikes a near perfect balance between arcade and simulation.
    Since it's the year end sales and all, would you recommend getting Grid: Legends? And does it feel closer to Autosport or Grid 2?

    I swear to god I have played Grid 2 and finished all of its content, but my Steam library shows I have never played it. But I have absolutely played the rest of the series. Maybe I played it through the EA subscription service. Or on console.

    GRID 2 is the middle child of the series, people love it. People hate it, but it was still a good game but also a really good graphical game at the time, and I like it despite the handling and different progression.
    And GRID 2 kind of perfected the 3d simplistic menus that I loved from GRID and F1 2010, it's simple but it really worked.
    Good review moses 👍

    I loved that game, sadly I couldn't complete it, at some point in the campaign, the game froze everytime a race was loading, so it was impossible to make any progress.

    I thought Grid 2 was a great sequel. Its atmosphere was one of my favorite things about it. The colors, the lights beaming off of your car, the crazy crowd density with people reaching over the railing cheering you on, the great music the game has, it all makes the campaign feel like one big spectacle and I love it. I also enjoyed the campaign. It may have been linear. But it had a great sense of progression to it and the stakes really did feel like it was ramping up drastically as you went along with the game’s career mode. I really wished the handling model was different. I don’t mind its drift-to-steery nature. But I would’ve loved if it iterated on Grid 1’s handling model. Either way, Grid 2 was a lot of fun. I definitely prefer Grid 1. But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun. I’m also amazed the game still looks as good as it does. It’s insane how good Codies’ games looked from the late 2000s to the mid 2010s. They looked so good for the time.
