Imaginative Car Pun Headline: Grid 2's Eliminator
Grid 2's Eliminator game mode, where the dude at the back of the pack is knocked out every twenty seconds, sure looks exciting. Sure, there's no jusy-rigged rocket launcher, and no desert apocalypse with attendant moral dilemmas, but speeding metal carts around concrete gullies will have to do. Codies have showed off this Eliminator thing on the Dubai track, which you can see below, and it looks really quite fancy. But trailers can soon be dispensed with: the game is almost upon us 28th/30th, depending on your ocean, and I'll be keen to play it, because I haven't enjoyed a racing game in quite some time. Big drift!
You can totally read Adam's Grid 2 preview here. In it he says: "Arriving at the Arc de Triomphe and seeing that Callahan and his minions have erected barricades throughout the entire centre of the metropolis, along with all manner of gaudy lighting, I became convinced that World Series Racing is destined to become a dictatorship. What kind of power does a man capable of shutting down Paris on a whim truly wield? And to then alter the course of the race even as it is in progress? He’s a bloody maniac and no mistake."
What does that say about the quality of the game? I have no idea. Look over there, a bee!
Grid 2 is released to our care next week, I think. Something like that.
