I've been following Codemaster's racing games long enough and Grid: Autosport was NOT what I expected. The game graphics are really good (I'm playing it on ultra), I enjoy those but there are two major problems that need fixing ( at least for me).
1. There is no exit button when you enter a season challenge!? Yea that's right. If you want to play for 5-10 minutes on season mode, then you are gonna regret it cause once you enter a challenge you have to finish ALL the events/races( plus the qualification rounds to get a higher spot than last place) and that takes time. A lot of time.. You have to commit to do all the races or either leave the event and by doing that, it will count that you finished last) or you just ALT+F4 and hope it will start off where you left it without ruining the save.
2. I don't know what happens on easy mode but at least on medium mode the only way to pass the opposing cars is by hitting them on the sides when they break because of a turn. On straight road they gain insane speed and you can't catch up to them even when they break for 1-2 seconds and you hard press the gas button it's like you don't gain meters at all. When they hit you by the sides, you get out of track, when you hit them by the sides you get out of track. On the starting line when you wait for the count down, it doesn't matter what number you are, they are gonna pass you like they were already running when you were waiting to start. You can't even pass them when they leave the track themselves and go to the grass or dirt. There are some tracks that the good old "wall and gas" need for speed underground style works just fine.
I'm just glad I didn't spend 50 euros to buy this game because I got it free from purchasing an i7 cpu.
