I really tried to enjoy this game, but there’s just no way—it’s way too boring. It feels stripped down and lacking in so many areas. The gameplay is repetitive, the content feels shallow, and there are barely any meaningful options to keep things fresh. On top of that, the "teammate" system is completely useless and adds nothing to the experience. Compared to the first installment, which had much more depth and excitement, this is a major step down. Even GRID 2, which was already a middle-ground title, feels more engaging and better balanced than this. It’s disappointing to see how far the quality has dropped.

Better than GRID 2, but will crash if you attempt to start the career mode with an Xbox controller plugged in.
