I can’t count the number of times I took a sharp turn and noticed that the cardboard cutout fans all seemed to be incredibly bored with anything around them, at times not even facing the track and on their cell phones. In the next race as I drove my vehicle like a bumper car against guard rails, he was mysteriously silent until he spouted a generic line about getting ahead of the pack early.Īnother example of how Grid 2 seems to want to destroy your enjoyment of it comes from the fans in each race except for the World Series Race events. In one race, he told me more than three times that my front wheel was damaged and thus I would have performance issues, even as I crossed the finish line in first. The biggest issue with this new narrator is that he is implemented sloppily - he’s inconsistent and unhelpful throughout. Your narrator relishes in taking credit for your wins, talks creepily about how he can’t wait to get into your new car, and admonishes you for a ‘mistake’ even when it has actually helped you out in your race. Instead of having the game narrated by managers who give constructive criticism and generally have a positive vibe, you’re left with a middle manager of your promoter, the mysterious Patrick Callahan, who might as well be the Illusive Man for all of his underling’s dickishness. The first thing one has to understand about this game is that it follows more closely in the footsteps of Dirt 3 - or even the series spin-off Dirt Showdown - with all pomp and circumstance, and then notches up the douchiness just a bit more to really get on any gamer’s nerves. ![]()
