GRID™ Autosport 4+

Graphics are detailed but experience is not

I wont repeat what others have said about the graphics because they are amazing and the pay once price is the best bargain in the App Store. Also, I actually like the tilt controls on my 12 inch iPad Pro. It seems pretty direct and more like a real driving experience.

What I I don’t like and am very surprised is missing are a few details that would help. First there are no useable rear view or side view mirrors. How can you find out who is behind you or beside you when overtaking. There is on view that kind of give you mirrors but they are obscured and not useable. This is probably my biggest complaint. Second, is there are NO DRIVERS! It’s kind of surprising and kind of freaky to see cars go around the track with no drivers. Given the level of detail in all other aspects I can’t figure out why this detail is missing.

Either way it is the best game in the App Store but would really like to be able to see around me when driving not just ahead of me.

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!

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.

Réponse du développeur ,

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
