RaceDriver GRID is a very successful, significant and very interesting project from the developer Codemasters in the genre of racing games. I got acquainted with it the same way as with many other games - I completed NFS, and naturally I really wanted to ride and play further. After playing for the first few minutes, I had very mixed impressions - how is it possible, any car reaches a hundred in less than two seconds, very unusual controls and every time there is a crowd of rivals on the track? But further - better! Very soon, having killed a car for the first time in cabbage soup and having listened to a short training, I was very happy about such a thing as “Flashback”. A very interesting idea that allows you to replay the most malicious and dangerous moments on the track.
I can’t help but note the view from the cabin - it’s just a bomb! It feels like the controls are completely different, which also requires some getting used to. But as soon as you get comfortable here, you won’t want to change it for any other! Some cars are quite capricious, so even if you are already a confident driver, a mistake in this arcade racer is punished very quickly and severely. The AI also behaves ambiguously - sometimes it breaks away and can’t catch up at all, then it lines up like a train before a turn and either just a crush and accidents begin, or real chaos, which is annoying.
An interesting idea with having a partner in the team, especially when you take a professional and fight with him for first place (if he, of course, allows it - Tom Rockford, a malicious and arrogant American, took away almost all my victories! ) The graphics for 2008 are simply wonderful and even now they look very good. The cars have been worked on at the proper level, so you will definitely find your favorite in each class. The game is worth your attention, 9/10.
