Racedriver Grid
Computer: Own constructed/picked up parts low budget comp! (400€ w\o screen & keyboard + mouse).
AMD ATHLON 64 X2 5400+ AM2, 2GB of DDR2, 320GB HDD and a Radeon HD 3650 PCI-E 512 Mt.
Soo it works rather nicely with most settings maxed, except for few little details as trees, bloom (hate bloom anyways) and lowered a-aliasing. Anyways, it looks Beautiful...!!!
The game's driving-feel and handling is pretty awesome after you've played few laps, so it's very easy to adopt the game feeling. I just couldn't personally drive with the keyboard after trying the demo on my XO360, so i plugged the controller on my comp and the game kinda turned the pc version into the clone of the XO version which i really liked... :) Now i'm addicted to the controller. It's more satisfying to watch replays also with the trigger compared to rapidly pressing the forward button on keyboard.
11 other cars bring some good difficulty to the game as you will bash on them or they will bash on you. Thank god the game has an instant replay which lets you jump back into the track before you made the wrong desicion, but the "respawns" are limited...!!
Btw: you got to love the "driver's view" camera inside the car... Detailz... <3 :p Forzas missed those...
The physics are rather great. You got to love the feeling when you're 2nd on race and after the 1st one when his tire blows up and he starts going sideways infront of you and suddenly "jump" into air (like in wanted they did with the corvette >.< ) and you just drive under the car to victory. Perfect...!! <3 :D
Grid could use some freedom tho, or just more content. Cars (especially for the selection of cars when entering an event!!!), more customisation (as the game has only pattern customisation and sponsors) and if you hate drifting (as my friend does) you don't have a choise to pass it unless you repeat some other race few times (which gets boring, especially if you've struggled with it earlier), just opinions... :p
Online, hmm I have no idea i'm sorry bout that... :D Only XO360 demo showed me how easy online was, had some lag, but still i won all the time way too easily with over 20seconds (w\o hitting the other participants).
Overall, the game is awesome and I definitely recommend you to buy it if you like racing games!! Every race is different and satisfying. Graphics are stunning and physics gives that eyecandy you want in racing games.
Just add a bit more to the game and you've got a Perfect racing game there!!! <3
