Incredibly disappointed in this game, and not just because the lack of cockpit view. They've gone even less realistic than Grid 1, and more towards NFS and Burnout. I know it isn't supposed to be a sim but I really don't think they should stray so far from the TOCA series that made them a household name.

I didn't buy the game and I'm glad. I feel ripped off even just by trying this piece of crap. A shame too, the graphics, sound, and a lot of the tracks are really good but it's all wasted. It's boring/unrealistic with a wheel or controller
 
have to agree on that one, i feel like the game doesn't allow talented drivers to shine due to the physics and destruction derby style races, it's more or less how well you can dodge accidents and drift corners.
 
Yes Grid 1 felt alot better and after buying g27 I plan on using it for my racing games and grid 2 is shocking when useing a wheel may be taking it back just because of this. :(

I find it does not turn when driving grip style and when you throw it into a corner to drift the nose comes round too much... I'll get some practice in!

At first I was much faster with the alfa but once i started finding my feet i was so much better with the Genesis. 👍
 
I feel good when I can help a new person get started on Grid 2's "eccentric and dynamic" online world..

Edit: And just beat another GT-R with the Z06 in a faceoff. :)

Edit 2: Then I beat 5 more GT-Rs in a race. Yay Z06!!

had my first online experience with the game last night. I am starting to think people do not know what brakes are. Got taken out with at least 3 others at the 3rd turn at one of the Miami courses

It's no worse than any console racing game, mind. Look at F1, GT, FM, NFS: Shift etc. etc.

Yeah, most people are just trying to win, by damn near any means necessary.

A legitimate win is sweeter than ramming, but they won't get real life money for it. So winning is just a whole load of "Meh". Even if its legit.

Yeah, I like to win legitimately, but its online.. people don't care about being legit. But I feel good when I can take out an entire field of GT-Rs with a Vette.

Edit: there has been an update to Grid. A friend says that the cars handle better.

How big is the update?
Hope it doesn't affect the handling too much. I'm used to the current handling.

He told me that it was like 38mb. I haven't updated since I'm still playing. Just bought and upgraded a million worth. But he said the NSX handles a lot better.

It's 32mb for me.

From Loore at the Codemaster forums..

You may have noticed your consoles have downloaded a new patch for GRID 2. PlayStation 3 should be available already and Xbox 360 should start this afternoon / overnight. This is a first wave of fixes and we’re already hard at work on a future patch.

PC users, a patch is in the work for you as well and we’ll have more details as soon as we lock down the content for it

Patch Notes | Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

-Fixed an Issue in Season 1 where viewing sponsorship objectives cause the game to hang.
-During season 3 in the Haruna Kyojin drift event at Okutama the AI would become overly aggressive and ram into the back of a player.
-Fixed a graphics issue where the logo of lightweight cars does not appear with the other Tier 3 car classes.
-If the player selects the Technology sponsor objective - "Lead all laps of a race event" they will find then when they lead all laps of any race event that the sponsor objective does not complete, this has now been fixed.
-Fixed an issue where upon completing the game and selecting New Driver from the options menu, the game went to a dead state on a loading screen upon completing season 1 (after playing a video at the wrong place).
-Fixed a splitscreen issue which was caused when the player uses an instant flashback then pauses the game and restarts the race. They will notice that the AI will take control of their vehicle once the races starts.
-Fixed an audio bug that would cause sound to become badly distorted during any race where music plays.
-Fixed an issue where the background cars in the 2nd and 3rd garages would have drivers just sat in them.
-Fixed an issue that resulted in RaceNet global challenges not updating accurately.
-Fixed an issue that prevented players from signing up to RaceNet in game.
-Fixed a graphical error that was present when removing upgrades and reverting to the default livery.
-Fixed an issue where in Touge if a player drove through a ghosted player that has just flashbacked they will be unfairly disqualified.
-Fixed an audio issue that caused short burst of engine audio to be present when quitting out at the start of the Divizero time attack race.
-Fixed numerous corner cutting errors on Indianapolis.
-Miscellaneous: many various tracks / car geometry, stability, string and difficulty balancing fixes.

The car's a drifty pig but you can do it.

I haven't done any career yet. What kind of challenge is it?
Click to expand...

Easy enough. The majority of the AI racers are as slow as anything although the top three or so put up a good fight. And it's still the typical Codies affair of "You won a race! Go through to the final!"... yeah. 👎

EDIT:

Oh, and the Atom: dat noise :drool:
