I’m almost done with Race Driver: GRID. I got all the cars, won all but the final 6 races and pretty much got my fill of the game. I soured on it a bit (mostly due to the amount of events I’m not a huge fan of) but I still like it overall. Not enough to grind for the first place on the career leaderboard though.
I won’t be writing a big summary of the experience as I already mentioned everything before (limited number of tracks, aggressive opponents, mostly fun driving model etc). What I can write however is: playing this title gave me a bit of insight into what I’m interested in in a racing game (in term of events). For GRID the end result looks like this:
| Favourite events | Least favourite events |
|---|---|
| Touge (not even close) | Destruction Derby (I’m so glad it barely exists) |
| Touring Cars | Club GT |
| Open Wheel | 24 Hours Le Mans |
Everything else is pretty much a toss-up depending on the event or track, varying between “this is great” and “please kill me”. It was fun but I’m kinda glad I’ll be moving to something else soon.
I finished Race Driver: GRID! I got all the cars, won all events and got both myself and my team to the top of the leaderboards. It was fun but I definitely need a break from this title, a LONG one.
I’m still thinking about what to tackle next. I’m leaning towards either Shantae (the original Game Boy Color one) or Shadowrun: Hong Kong but my brain is rather fickle right now so I might end up playing something completely different. So many games to choose from…
