GRID 2: Preview

Codemasters - The company from which you expect only the races. They had a variety of attempts in other genres, yet today they are rooted in the soil of different racing simulators and arcade games. Along the way, they were driven series Colin McRae Rally in the mud and turned into Dirt, Bringing the game to fit disgusting Spinoff Showdown with the "record" sales.

In light of recent events gamers remembered another project studios, which at one time gave only positive emotions as different from many games, at least scrupulousnessperformance. It was not a simulator, but it was something at the junction of arcade and simulation with a very good physics and different modes. GRID He gave great moments and the sequel of this game is really waiting for, despite the fact that as time went on, and the announcement did not come.

We were able to play in the preview-game code on the PC (Intel Core i7-3770, 8GB ROM, GeForce GTX670). To our great regret, the preview only lifts the veil of secrecy over the new game, but what we saw in it - inspires some optimism.

This is the same game at the junction of genres, arcade and simulator: it is not the usual type for serious Sims out of the cab, but the physics and behavior of the car on a variety of surfaces is impressive.



The plot of the game is that you become a rising star (as is often the case), with the help of which one promoter is going to organize all-American auto-racing league, but first youshould make a name for themselves and a large number of fans to have appeared supergonschik promoter in a cage, around which will meet the racers get-together, and the league is formed by itself.

In the preview we were given a drive on different cars, which inspires hope for a huge fleet of vehicles in the game. Local car collected from around the world - Ford. Volkswagen. Volvo. Mazda. Bugatti.

Immediately it should be said that America alone in the game it will not be because you have to become a world celebrity.Therefore, you have to pass various tests - and it will be as the circuit races and a variety of sprints and drift on Japanese mountains will probably drift and at distinct sites such asremembers the port from the first part. Very peculiar altered knockout mode. Since the game is destructible (and machines do break down and killed in the style Burnout), This mode has become greater in Demolition DerbyThan in the race. Here you need to not only be the first, but also drop off his car to the finish line in one piece.In the preview we gave Knockout in the Bugatti Veyron, which can be described metaphorically as follows: "The capsule's death seeks the shortest road to hell." It's like meat, but really to drive in such an atmosphere of Parisian track interesting.



Of course, I want to believe that, GRID 2 be unfamiliar route before. Developers seem to be noticed that the players tired of laps on the same locations, so they offered new routes. Downhill GRID 2 laid on a pretty picturesque places of our planet - Paris and Japanese tracks and ring Red Bull GP can not but rejoice. Simply put, a fresh breeze broke into our cabin.

As for graphics (you can watch the video at the maximum setting): the game looks very good.I especially want to highlight the effects of light - the sun shining in his face really interfere in the race, but not as annoying as it was in NFS on the engine, Frostbite.From under the wheels sometimes crashes the flow of dust, gravel, and during the drift starts to blame the white smoke. The game looks really realistic and damage model is almost a model of the genre.

Across felt that GRID 2 I should give only positive emotions to fans of the first part and racing games in general, so we'll wait for May 31 when the game will be available on PC. Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
