![]() ![]() About to start Season 4, I've endured a lot. Since Season 3, I took my talents to Europe. The first two were spent mostly in the USA region. I recently completed my third season in GRID. So I don't really know if I am doing well or accomplishing any unique tasks. I know someone mentioned that the PS3 version GRID doesn't have any Trophies. With the whole Branding thing, it will be interesting to see what other cars will look like with the livery you created. I think this is all executed pretty well for the most part.Īs of this post, I have only my classic Ford Mustang. You still mostly try to build up funds to get new cars and stuff. So in a way, you get a chance to not feel disconnected from the evolution of the ToCA games with these Team Offers in GRID. In a strange way, I almost wanted to imagine GRID being more like the Burnout games, only without the illegal street racing and (of course) the crash-happy dynamics.ĭoing the Team Offers reminds me a lot of what the past ToCA Race Driver games mostly was about- you race for a certain team in a certain championship and try to fulfill objectives asked of you. GRID is also more focused on gritty racing mostly on city courses and a handful of proper circuits. I do love the past ToCA Race Driver titles, but you never really felt like being part of your own team and being your own driver in the previous generation of the three ToCA Race Driver games. I see GRID's Career model to be more like a ToCA Race Drivergame where you actually feel like you are part of a racing team and competing in real races. I was able to get into GRID World for the first GRID. You could also go by certain nicknames if your name isn't so common or if you don't want to be referred to by your name. I like that the spotter speech actually refer to me as "John" since my name is John. One thing I do like about the GRID games is how you get called out by name. I didn't play through the Career Mode, but I did have my fun doing loads of exhibition races. In a sense, the Drift Touge stages was part of an experience MUCH better than the Canyon battles in "Need for Speed: Carbon." I unfortunately had some brutal moments, such as flying off of a cliff during one of the Drift Tougue stages to where I wrecked my pretty NSX. ![]() In addition, I enjoy the vast variety of cars and race types. You also tend to feel like you have to truly EARN passing somebody- those other drivers will not give up their positions so easily. Through my early playing of GRID, I became very drawn into the gritty style of racing offered in this title. ![]() I made my debut to the GRID games recently. Managed to nurse it around the final few laps, all the while holding off the monstrously fast Audis.Īfter swinging through Ford, with both Audis snapping at my gearbox. The car began veering right but was still somewhat drivable. I had to win this bastard race, dammit.īy then I'd amassed a small fortune and could afford to take my own team to La Sarthe if I was going to win this I was going to punch the big manufacturers' sneery faces in, and there was no way I was going to drive for some team and let them piggyback off me, risk giving my glory to some foreign car and company.Ĭontact into Mulsanne with one of the Audis shook up the front right suspension real bad. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and all that. Braked too early and a Courage or something dived past. Led the race nearly all the way, only to lose it all in the blasted Ford chicanes on the final lap. Audi seemed to see something in me so I signed with them. Nothing much came of it, then somehow I'm getting offers from P1 teams to drive. Graduated to LMP2 and drove for some teams. Fast enough to be scary but slow enough to allow plenty of door-to-door rubbin'-racin'. Started off in the GT classes, probably the most fun divisions in the race. ![]()
