I picked up this game for the air element only and it was good at for the first couple of hours. Did some air arcade battles which were PVE to get used to the game, but seemingly once you're past a certain point (maybe levelling up) you're then locked in PVP for that mode which isn't fun (unless you're really good at the game I guess, I don't intend on spending hours of being destroyed to 'git gud'). There is a PVE mode 'air assault' but it is boring as hell, and again as a newbie, you are completely outclassed by the AI and your team (even with WEP I had no chance of keeping up with the far faster planes that everyone else had). Don't fancy the grind, and don't want to pay for something that doesn't appear to offer much except asking for more money.

Really enjoyable tactical squad combat with lovely Anime stylized graphics. I was expecting it to be a bit JRPG/grindy but it's not at all and the pace moves along quite well.

A big disappointment.

I enjoyed GRID a lot, so naturally thought its sequel would bring me joy too. Unfortunately and after giving it much of a chance, I really don't enjoy GRID 2. The fact everything is about 'drifting', even the non-drifting events. The handling is pretty off compared to realistic racers, and is pretty stupid compared to other arcade racers so I'm not sure where it's supposed to fit in.

Obviously all the dull 'city' tracks are not realistic, and some of the modes such as 'Endurance' which basically changes the layout of the track as you drive around (to try and prevent you learning it, but the AI know exactly what to expect) are unrealistic, as well as the whole WSR concept.

The only real positive I had from the game was that the multiplayer was entertaining in the beginning, and compared to other CM games such as DiRT and the F1 series, as least you weren't forced as much to watch useless scenes/forced into a race before you'd even set up your controls/graphics etc..

I'd try GRID Autosport as apparently that is the resolution to this poor game, but the series has left me with a bitter taste.
