Is Race Driver - Grid 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A racer from Codemasters, Race Driver Grid 2 leans on driving halfway between arcade and simulation, snappy duels on circuits, urban roads and mountain routes, and very spectacular race staging. The sense of speed, the variety of disciplines and the damage rendering appeal to fans of accessible yet demanding racing. The absence of a cockpit view and a sometimes aggressive AI divide opinion. A racing game to recommend for fans of snappy driving and automotive spectacle on PS3.
