Enter Patrick Callahan: a fictional, car-crazy billionaire who wants to create the World Series of Racing, a new unified championship bringing together all the best racers from around the world in order to answer that difficult question - who's the best?
Callahan's vision for the WSR is to have the finest drivers from all over Europe, America and Asia to come together and take part in a series of races that cover a wide variety of racing disciplines - muscle cars, supercars, Japanese drifters and so on - so by the end of the series the racer who scored the most points over all disciplines can be declared, without a doubt, the best racer in the world.
It's all well and good having this dream, but Callahan realises that WSR can't take off until all the big racing teams around the world sign up to participate. That's where you come in. As a young up-and-coming racer, Callahan realises you have potential talent and so he signs you up to travel the world, taking part in various races while flying the WSR flag. As you win these races, local race clubs will start paying attention to you, listen to what you have to say about Callahan's vision for WSR and eventually agree to sign up to take part.
As you progress through each 'year' in the game you see WSR grow steadily, both in terms of structure and spectacle. In the first year the competition is still in its infancy - nobody's heard of it, barely anyone's heard of you and the whole thing is still a dream in Callahan's head. He asks you to travel around America first, attracting the various racing clubs there. By the end of the first year the debut WSR series takes place.
The Codies team developing the game is making some bold claims, one of which is that its new 'TrueFeel' handling system will make the game immediately approachable to those completely new to racing games while still being intricate enough that experts will be able to master it and shave seconds off their lap times. From what we've played of it the handling is indeed relatively simple to get to grips with, though it's still complex enough that we don't quite buy the suggestion that complete beginners will be able to just step in and compete with the big boys.
One thing that did impress us is the opponent AI, which is as realistic as we've seen in a racing game. Rival drivers will try to block you off, gently nudge into you as they try to get onto the racing line, and occasionally make mistakes of their own accord without you getting involved. We had a couple of tense night races where we turned a corner and had to quickly swerve to avoid the flying pieces of a car that had spun out and hit a barrier ahead of us. Perhaps the best praise we can give it is that despite playing just the single-player mode, it felt like we were actually playing online.
One thing's for certain, however - thanks to its new EGO 3.0 engine the game looks fantastic, especially the PC version. In fact, Codemasters was extremely keen to make sure the PC version was the one it used to show off the game, with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions very much taking a back seat during the demonstration session we attended.

Üks asi mis vastu karva kohe on, on see et erinevad game-moded nagu Dirt seerias, igast knockoutid jne. Grid juba ainuüksi läks väga hästi sellepärast peale, et oli ainult ringraja sõitmine kindlate ringide arvu peale (kui lemans välja arvata) mis oli super. _________________
Mnjahh, GRID oli tätsa ok mäng mida vahetevahel onlines mängimas käia, aga Codemaster oli samas selline tore asutus kes suht ootamatult selle asja ära lõpetas, tea kas uuega on ka nii et ühel päeval juhe seinast ja rahu majas.......
Kas seda uut varianti vana masinaga ka mängida kannatab? Vahel hakkis esimestki versiooni....
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+, jahutus Zalman 8700
RAM: 4GB DDR2
HDD: Seagate 750GB
PSU: Codegen 450W
MBD: GigaByte M57SLI-S4 2.0rew.
VGA: MSI GTS 450, jahutus Accelero TwinTurbo
suht ajale jalgu jäämas see komplekt.. grid 1 kohapealt ütleks, et jah see lõpp tuli ootamatult, aga samas ei saa ka loota, et nad igavesti seda üleval hoiaks, mäng juba päris vana ja kui ikka on suur soov mängida, siis läbi tunngle ikka saab, olen isegi vahel paar tiiru teind, aga vennad, kes nii suured fännid, et varem mängu enda multiplayerit paugutasid ja nüüd tunngle kaudu, need on nii parajad profid juba, et ma sain ikka igas sõidus nii tuppa, et täitsa häbi oli
ilus video, kahju et slingshoti pole ikkagi selles mängus, söidad sa auto taga või üksi, mingit vahet nagu pole.
slingshot ? sa mõtled slipstream ? esimeses GRIDis on see täiesti olemas ja töötab väga hästi, ei usu et see puudu oleks
onlines on see tihti väga hea võimalus mööda saamiseks
Mõtlesin ka sama. Kuigi tegelikult kõige rohkem häirib mind see drifti koht. Esimeses GRIDis oli drift nagu lust, aga seal tundub juba kõvasti keerulisem see asi.
eks tuleb mod millega maha võtta kui config vms failist ei saa. grid 1 pilt oli ka jama, täiesti kollane, aga selle saab modiga korda ja hoopis teine asi
Mh, see drift käib kuidagi nii kiiresti nagu oleks 1.5x fast forward peal :/ Esimeses osas on nagu reaalsem rohkem... _________________ I need about tree fiddy.
