The GRID series does have fans, since Codemaster’s fun-filled take on circuit racing can be easily picked up, offering quicker gratification than a more simulation-oriented title. However, the latest title in the series, called GRID Autosport, while good, is lagging really far behind the new wave of games, even linear track-focused ones like itself.

Autosport was released earlier this week and amateur and pro YouTube reviewers were quick to cast their opinions.

The bottom line is that it’s clearly a Codemasters racing game, with all the pros and cons that incurs, while at the same time showing that the developer is willing to evolve the formula, while at the same time not wanting to make its games overly complicated – it would limit their mass appeal and ultimate salability.

Oh, and the new interior views are a (fuzzy, blurry) joke…

If you liked the previous games in the series, particularly the first one, then you will find a lot to like in Autosport.
