OVERVIEW GRID 2

GRID - One of those games that are not strained, but the passage of which we really enjoyed.

GRID 2 It has an uncomplicated story about the creation of the League of World Racing Series.The bottom line is that a man named Patrick Callahan decided to create WSR - mega racing series, for which would be followed throughout the world.To do this, he needs to unleash the racer, which will become "the city main" center of the future of the league. It is not difficult to guess that this will prove to be a hero you are.To do this, you have to ride on the continent for a full three seasons: at the beginning will enslave America, then Europe and Japan.Having collected a multimillion crowd of fans, you will become a center of attraction and the league WSR starts to exist. Career will continue for another couple of years until you see the final credits.


In America, you have to drive on the local automotive industry and products mainly have to conquer the local oval track racing and beautiful in Chicago. In Europe, you will find more races.In addition to local routes, there are also circles the city, passing through the picturesque Barcelona and romantic Paris.In fairness, it is worth noting the thoroughness with which made the city routes.However, not all so good - some of the monuments that exist in reality, there have not found a place, but in the heat of battle at speeds under 200 km / h you will hardly notice it.After the European tour, you have to move to the country of the rising sun to enjoy the "other" races. Here we are waiting for the race at the checkpoint in the picturesque oak and a long-awaited drift. However, GRID 2 We got rid of the drift at the sites, and special routes and limited downhill terrain, and the race became contact and interfere with real opponents in a controlled drift.

Besides the main the event, the game has an additional side events, allowing to expand the fleet (quite reach the finish line for the specified time), as well as promo-events which mainly consist ofovertaking the competition in which you have to constantly overtake pickups and gain points by fighting with a rival. The number of points typed on a chain from 100 to 1000, burning in collisions. Promotional race of fans added to your piggy bank.


Having three seasons, the goal is executed - the league WSR comes into existence. After that, you are invited to drive another 2 seasons in this league already on familiar routes: machinery and opponents become stronger and play becomes significantly harder.

The multiplayer modes are all available, which are in the game. Keep in mind that in multiplayer mode and a lot of rude pushing and will not fail to drag you into the fence to break your car.Online, many Russian and that they strive to punch you in Bochin like no other, with nice mother. In fairness it should be noted that few in this frenzy run to the finish.More than once we saw something like a roll to the finish line frame in which it was impossible to guess either the model or brand of the original car.


Graphically, the game looks great, especially on the highest setting. Smoke, steam, sparks, dirt from the side of the road, plumes of smoke from under the wheels - it all looks fine.Excellent detail of machines and there is no doubt. Trails are very picturesque, and most importantly encouraging its diversity compared to many other races. Most of the trails GRID 2 nowhere in the game and it adds freshness.
As for physics, the game also deserves the highest praise. Machinery behave differently: in Arcade, but acceptable. Breaks down in just drift your behest and conveniently controlled skidding when cornering.

Separate moment - damage model. As in the first GRIDHere were damaged (they can be disabled in the menu), as well as flashbacks.In case of damage, incompatible with life, the game offers to start the race again or use rewind returned wheelbarrow to life.Machinery spectacularly broken during the race in clashes with rivals and hit the rumble strips. Sometimes the machine begins to "cut" in one direction, which greatly changes the gameplay is not in your favor.Sometimes the car has to literally the last effort dotaskivat to the finish line, so much it is broken during the competition.

The game has no particular soundtrack, has a musical theme that pleasant sound in the main menu and are sometimes included in the latter stages of the race.

It is necessary to say a few words about the possibilities of customization of machines.They seem to be not very rich, but you can create quite interesting coloring, with different colors for texture and color, as well as various templeytov.In the coloring also sponsored kleyut stickers (they occasionally give you choose). Sponsorships puts small tasks the implementation of which attracts more fans in your ranks.


GRID 2 it is difficult to assess unambiguously. Game added regarding the seriousness, and if here there was the view from the cockpit, the race could be assessed already as arcade simulator. However, this did not happen, but it is already clear the arcade will not name. And in the former fan GRID 2 No drift particularly lacking in the port between the container and taps. Still, the game sometimes seems too seriously here more than a hundred races, a lot of different wheelbarrows and periodically passing game ends zadrotstva to win extra fraction of a second at the finish.

Among the modes have standard circular race and time attack, race checkpoints with funneling through your fingers time and Elimination (local knockout, where every 20 seconds from the last drops out of the raceits members), overrunning stages and sprints. Separately want to mention the mode in which you have to set the best lap time. In this mode, you have to drive 2 laps, while the circle is still 12 competitors who constantly improve the time.

Outcome:

GRID 2 - The race that waited, and which will justify the expectations of the majority.But something this game for years podrasteryal: the elusive element that just allows you to enjoy it from time to time, including evenings and enjoying each race and each individual mode. Graphically, the game is executed at the highest level, and physics does not let us down.
