Re: Anyone play GRID?
You are welcome.. and yes, the game is worth buying...it is worth every penny...
Screenshots from the demo, i had posted much earlier in the following thread:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87501
regarding your questions, here are the answers:
1) Car Modding is minimal (not like NFS)... you can change color, vinyl designs but the rest of the car is already pro modded when you buy it. By any way, they look terrific even at 4X MSAA.
2) Some tracks are rally like.. there are drift tracks, races down the mountains, drifts down the mountains, closed-circuit races, open drift races, free-form racing, mountains duels (quite something like what was in NFS carbon but here its better and tougher.., you can actually fall down from the side of the mountain and crash your car accordingly..
).
3) There is no police or anything like that. You just race alone (in drifts) or head-on with other cars. Whats so special is that the car AI is terrific.. they not only race with you but also among themselves.. and with the heavy flyin dust, car parts breaking and flying away.. cars smashing and fighting among themselves.. the experience is simply terrific....
4) You can drive in broad daylight, dusk or at night but that is not under your control. Whats beautiful is the HDR (High dynamic range) lighting so beautifully employed in this game. You can see sun rays tricking through the trees on the road-sides.. sometimes the environments are so amazing that I watched them rather than concentrating on the racing and crashed my car..
5) The Replay thing is awesome.. you can fully control your view and timeline and speed..
6) last of all, all the cars here (I think over 40) are all proper racing cars fully pro modded...
