It’s also added an option to play the game with motion controls, where you turn your controller (or the entire Switch in handheld mode) as if it was a wheel. Other players, however, may turn their nose up at the fact the buttons for the pedals are digital – you accelerate with ZR and brake with ZL, which removes some of the nuance and can occasionally lead to some spinning if you don’t have ABS turned on.Ĭodemasters has tried to implement some solutions: there’s an alternative control system that uses the right analogue stick for accelerating and braking – the higher up or down you move it the harder you push each pedal – and there’s even support for GameCube controllers and their analogue triggers (as long as you have a controller adapter). The default controls will be completely acceptable for most players, though you may want to turn off some of the more extreme aids like steering assist to make sure you aren’t fighting against the game when you go round corners. It’s a refreshing level of choice in a genre that often leads you by the arm, going: “Okay, now here’s a time trial, now here’s a drift race, now here’s an elimination race, now here’s.”

If you were a big fan of Codemasters’ TOCA Touring Car series back in the day and you just want a spiritual successor to those games, you’re more than welcome to get stuck into the Touring category and pretend the others don’t exist. But, again, there’s no obligation to do this. More interested in Street racing, Endurance races or the Tuner division with its variety of drift and time attack events? You can put all your attention of any of those instead.Īs you progress through each discipline you’ll unlock a wider range of more powerful cars, and if you do well enough in all five disciplines you’ll eventually unlock the overarching GRID discipline, which takes all five into account.

Want to focus purely on the glory that is the Touring circuit with its heavily modified road cars, or would you rather opt for the quicker but more dangerous thrill you get in the Open Wheel division? The choice is yours. These five styles of racing each have their own unique personality, and you’re under no obligation to work your way through them all. Indeed, this variety is the central focus of the game rather than shoehorning in a bunch of different race types and forcing you to play through them all (even though you may not like some of them), GRID’s career mode is split into a bunch of smaller seasons and lets you choose which of its five disciplines you want to take on each time you start a new one. There’s a lot of racing for your money here, and it’s varied too. With this Switch port, GRID Autosport gets a second chance to make a first impression, and it’s a strong one.

It’s a shame, because it was actually one of Codemasters’ better racing games, doing away with a lot of the nonsense – the convoluted career mode stories, the obnoxiously style-heavy menus – that had become an unwelcome staple of the studio’s racing output over the years and focusing mainly on the racing.

Originally released in the summer of 2014, it’s fair to say that GRID Autosport went under a number of gamers’ radars, mainly because it only launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 even though the Xbox One and PS4 had already been out for eight months.
