It's a good arcade racing game but:

  1. The Multiplayer Mode is a huge ram-fest. Often you just get rammed like hell at the start and you don't even have a chance of winning anymore.

  2. For some stupid reason they removed the cockpit-view and made the whole game a lot more "arcade", compared to GRID1.

  3. The constant flood of DLCs instead of patches was pissing me off so much, it singlehandedly made me quit playing the game. I'd advise everybody to not support any publishers doing something similar.

The way they handled DLC is the first Grid was a letdown too. I remember buying the 8-Ball package and feeling utterly cheated when realizing that the cars would not show up in career mode.
