GRID™ Autosport 4+

SPUDANKY!

Best racing game on iOS. I’m an arcade racer nut! So dipping into more of a racer sim is a new experience for me. What a great experience! I like I can play when I want, without having to slog through a pay to win progression. Because I’m free from that type of over used progression model, it’s helped me to ease into this racer genre more easily. The game looks great, but some textures are still a little jank up close. The free DLC HD texture pack has failed for the inside of your car tho! But overall it is a beautiful looking game. The controls feel solid. When I mess up, I know it’s me, thanks to unforgivingly tight controls. I successfully use both tilt, and a wireless controller, but prefer to use the wireless controller exclusively on this one. Not true for other popular arcade racers, where I can’t control the car at all using a controller. With Grid, a wireless controller is a pleasure. CON: It makes my iPhone 7 hot fairly quickly. In terms of performance, it seems to run better than some people’s experience on latest iPhone. Performance is overall pretty good considering my dated phone, but I definitely will get minor frame rate issues at times. They can definitely do with better with optimization. PRO: Driving at high speeds down the streets of San Francisco. Definitely recommend as a great racing game, but also as refreshing old school approach to selling games. Respact!

PAIR A PS4 or XB1 controller first! THIS IS THE BEST AND GREATEST - BAR NONE

I will preface this review by saying controls for this game outside of a paired physical controller are useless. SO PAIR ONE FIRST BEFORE PLAYING!

I don’t ever write reviews but what codemasters have done here is really something what a car enthusiast and driving enthusiast would appreciate in a mobile driving game. Variety of control options and the use of force touch is nice for throttle and brake control. Now this game has NO MICROTRANACTIONS and includes free dlc bonus cups and hd texture packs free! Now the real treat of this game is THE CARS! Every type of variety from so many different eras. E30, Mclaren F1, 1 Series M Coupe, RX-7, DC2 Type R, NSX R , a friggin HONDA HSV-010 GT CAR, it’s really ridiculous the awesome selection of cars and the crazy thing is you can try them all out from the start as they are all unlocked and ready for you to try in time trial and custom cup modes. I haven’t dived too deep into the career mode but judging from the small bit that I have played it feels like it is going to be long and very detailed one that would get anyone new to racing games build to a good understanding of the sport. Get this game, just pure awesome!

Love the pay once approach, hate the game..

I love how this is a stand-alone game where you pay once and you play to your heart’s content, just like a true console game would be.. But wow... They claim that this is supposed to be more of a “simulator” style game, but I have driven many cars, and have never had so many issues just trying to drive in a straight line! NO car on earth drives like these in the game. It honestly feels as if you’re driving a boat with how slow the game responds to your attempts at turning, but it gets even more “fun” once your car starts to turns finally and suddenly it’s as if your whole car is driving on a solid ice patch with no traction whatsoever.. The cars control horribly. The graphics are okay, I wasn’t blown away by them, but I also wasn’t upset with them. Also, I haven’t seen a single option in the game for any kind of customization to the cars, or even any option to try to buy new cars. I may be wrong on that though, because after an hour of giving this game a chance, I just couldn’t bring myself to continue playing it. But I know that I never saw any options in there for it at all.. Overall, I love the fact that they are not trying to do the stupid in app purchase garbage, but playing this game felt like more of a job, than anything I would consider to be fun. I personally would not spend the money to buy it. The game itself gets 1 star from me, but I added another just because I like and respect the pay once aspect of it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your purchase of GRID Autosport. We are sorry that you are not enjoying the racing as much as you'd like.

If you wish to adjust steering sensitivity, you can do so via GRID Autosport settings, which are found in the Settings app of your device. Here you can access Advanced settings for Controls and Gyro.

Difficulty can be adjusted via Options & Extras from the game's Main Menu. You can select from a range of defaults from Rookie to Master, or select a Custom setup where you can enable assists such as Traction Control and ABS on or off.

Although the handling model is more slanted towards simulation than other racing games on the App Store, we are open to refining the control systems in the game. For example, arrow controls are currently only available on devices with Force Touch-enabled screens, but we are looking at offering them on non-Force Touch devices.

Rest assured that we are committed to ensuring the best racing experience possible with GRID Autosport, and that will include further tweaks to the game. If there is anything else you want to discuss, please contact us using the Email Support Option, which is found via Help in the Main Menu of the game. Please include "App Store Review" in the subject of your email.

Thanks,

Feral Support
