Grid 2 starts off with a bang and immediately throws you into an old Ford Mustang, tasked with running two laps around one of the game’s downtown Chicago tracks. The visual quality is simply stunning; never has an urban environment looked more alive than it has in Grid 2. Thousands of fully-rendered spectators line the streets, each with their own individual cheering animations, and the temporary street circuit is transformed into a mass display of car culture. Your initial laps of the tutorial race aren’t spent figuring out the controls, but rather gawking at how much detail Codemasters put into the environment. If this was the reason why cockpit view was sacrificed, the results are easy to see. It’s very hard to impress me with graphics in 2013, but Codemasters wins this battle hands down. Squirrels run across the track, helicopters fly beside you, it all just looks awesome in motion. That is, when the framerate cooperates. I wouldn’t say Codemasters built an unoptimized game, but slowdown does occur here and there, and any attempts to fiddle with graphics settings to improve framerate yielded no results. And unfortunately, Codemasters still relies on heavy HDR and bloom effects, making the game look pretty in screenshots, but a bizarre moving oil painting while in motion. The yellowish tint from the original Grid is gone, replaced by a more natural greyish filter, but it still looks like Michael Bay: The Video game.
