GRID 2 is a racer that cares less about what's under the bonnet, and more about how well a car can screech around a corner at top speed. It's quite far removed from the simulation titles that Codemasters has been known for in the past, but damn, is it ever fun.

+ The rewind mechanic makes everything easier to appreciate; + The handling is a lot of fun to get to grips with; + It looks gorgeous

- Won't please anyone after a simulation experience; - Online is hard to get into initially; - Could use more track variety

Codemasters has been regularly updating its rally-themed Dirt series, but the developer has finally turned its attention to the Grid series.

Slick presentation and impressive graphics; Satisfying race progression in championship mode

No racing lines to assist with track navigation; Races get particularly difficult later on; especially without racing aids

This game sucks hardcore. 1 camera angle, automatic or sequential manual NO CLUTCH AVAILABLE AT ALL. I wouldnt recommend to anybody you are literaly better off going and playing a PS2 game before thinking of buying this!

This Game will work on all Xbox 360's (PAL or NTSC), Purchase with out any confusion

The linchpin holding Grid 2's single player storyline and main gameplay mode together is World Series Racing (WSR), which is a racing competition started by eccentric billionaire Patrick Callahan.

Although not class-leading; the graphics still look great; Exhaust notes of each car sound excellent; LiveRoutes feature in WSR mode keeps players on their toes; Excellent presentation; Realistic car damage; Rewind feature works well if and when you need it

Lack of variety in car selection; Lack of variety in track selection; Can only change look of vehicles; not their performance parts such as engine or brake upgrades; No interior cabin vantage point

poor game. all the cars oversteer and the physics dont feel right. far too annoying. glad i only rented it. graphics arent anything to write home about either

The first few moments of Grid 2 should be a disaster. You're strapped into a bruising muscle car and immediately asked to negotiate the corners of downtown Chicago amid a cavalcade of roaring V8s.

Handling strikes a great balance between arcade and simulation; Stellar audio and visual design; Broad selection of events reflect a variety of driving disciplines; Engrossing multiplayer

No driving assists to fine tune the difficulty; Occasional frame rate hitches during collisions

Not a bad game, the graphics system for example is excellent. The central problem is the longevity, inconsistent and ridiculous for a game of 60 Euros. Also I would have preferred a simulation game, enough with the arcade. 6/10

bought for grandson he loves it played it nearly all day , he is only seven but seems to have mastered it
