If you're looking for a revolutionary racing experience you won't find it here. But you will find a competent one. Grid 2 offers a nice balance between arcade and simulation racing physics. Cars are weighty and stick to the track probably a little more than they should, but this lets one attack corners with satisfying aggression. Add in a broad range of race types and a career mode that puts an emphasis on rapid forward progression and it's easy to get sucked in for the opening races.

However, play a little longer and you may find yourself starting to pine for more innovation. Vehicles look great but are no prettier than those of other recent racers. The ability to rewind time and escape crashes returns, but without any significant tweaks to enhance it. And while the career mode is well planned, it holds few surprises. It's racing by the numbers. That doesn't mean it's not fun. It's just not particularly daring.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
