GRID 2 - Extended Multiplayer Trailer

Game Intro
The race returns in the highly-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, BAFTA award-winning Race Driver®: GRID which set new standards for damage, AI, visuals and introduced Flashback, the time rewind feature now adopted by many racing titles. GRID®2™ will raise the gameplay and technological bar for motorsport gaming whilst remaining true to the series' core value that sets it apart from the competition – it’s all about the race.

Players will be invited to be fast, be first and be famous as they feel the aggressive exhilaration that lies at the heart of the GRID racing experience. In career mode, players will journey to the top of a new, ever-evolving world of competitive motorsport that challenges players to perform in exhilarating events across three continents.

GRID 2’s Race Immersion Technology
Bring alive the experience of driving a stunning selection of the world’s finest and most exciting, personality-packed cars like never before. The new TrueFeel™ Handling system delivers accessible, yet challenging to master edge-of-control racing and players will feel the tension, adrenaline, lights, noise and action of the race through the ‘lens of a movie director’ with blockbuster style and dramatic VFX.

Across a diverse range of white-knuckle events, intelligent AI opponents will push players’ driving ability to the absolute limit and deliver high-impact, relentless racing starring heart-stopping ‘wow’ moments, enhanced by next-generation damage that is sensational in real-time and jaw-dropping in replays. Once again, Codemasters Racing will set new standards for what can be achieved in the genre.

GRID 2 will redefine what racing games can achieve online. A rich multiplayer feature set with a progression system that is entirely distinct from the single player career challenges players to blaze their own trail to global domination. Deep levels of customisation, flexibility and connectivity are designed to deliver the most extensive and exciting online experience in the genre, enhanced by full integration with RaceNet, the online extension for Codemasters Racing games.
