I was a bit concerned I wouldn't like some of the types of racing, but I love all of them. I found the hardest to be drift, but I'm slowly getting better at it. When you start to be able to string some drifts together on a mountainside, it feels :hyper.

I've played quite a bit, but I'm trying to save it until my plasma is back from repairs (been about 2-3 months now >:()

Yeah, especially with cars that have a lot of oversteer, like the classic mustangs.

Post by: Smooth Groove on August 17, 2008, 12:47:36 AM: I've gotta give GT some credit for its well implemented controls for FF wheels. My times improved tremendously with a wheel. Otoh, Grid plays like garbage with a wheel, with or without FF effects.

Using a wheel with Grid, there's just no way to keep from spinning out constantly. Luckily, the PC version supports the 360 pad. It's not quite as immersive with a pad though.

Post by: Smooth Groove on August 17, 2008, 12:53:03 AM: I liked Dirt a bit more. Grid seems to have been downgraded in visuals and gameplay for dummy consoles.

Post by: cool breeze on August 17, 2008, 02:01:51 AM: I honestly don't see why I didn't like GRID. So many aspects seem like they would appeal to me, but when I actually sad down and played it, I didn't enjoy like I did with any other major racing games (PGR, Forza, GT, etc).

The handling is too arcadey. Dirt had a much better balance between realism and fun.
