- Despite these gripes, I still managed to have a lot of fun with GRIP. After all, it’s hard to sweat the small stuff when you’re hauling ass across the red planet at over 500 kilometers per hour. With an impressive selection of game types, wild, varied course designs, and an incredibly addicting multiplayer component, GRIP delivers a fast and frenetic arcade experience that should please fans of the futuristic racer genre.
Francis DiPersio · Nov 30, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - GRIP: Combat Racing is an entertaining racer for the Nintendo Switch. It isn’t the best racing title the system has to offer, but as a tribute and a throwback to arcade racers of the old days, it certainly succeeds in achieving its goal.
Matt Furtado · Nov 30, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - GRIP Combat Racing was as much a battle between myself and the game as it was between my car and rival racers, which is a shame because when it works, it works splendidly. It’s fortunate that at least the game’s issues could all be resolved with further patches, potentially leaving us with an excellent racer on the Nintendo Switch, but as it stands now, the game is flawed and is hard to justify at full price.
Roy Ramsay · Nov 28, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - GRIP is a fine racing game. It has some fantastic moments in its fast speeds and impressive maneuvers. While there are some issues here and there with the devastation of crashing, and the online being laggy at times, I find that at its heart, it’s a great racer that tries something that hasn’t been thought of in a long while. It’s a buy for racing fans, but I would hold off until a slight price drop, at least. Maybe by then a few patches and sort out a few things.
Drew Leachman · Nov 21, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - GRIP is a technically sound game and can genuinely offer some exciting racing, as you try to dodge enemy weapons, track hazards and more, all at insane speeds. However, it can also be a confusing game to navigate and also has very unfair rubber-banding which can screw you over more than half the time as you'll find a well-placed rocket right up your rear-pipe just before you hit the finish line. GRIP also looks and sounds great, with some very well designed tracks, though some side modes (arena-based modes) completely miss out the best part about the game - being able to ride on any surface. I can genuinely see people enjoying their time with GRIP than I have, I just think it's missed the mark.
Chris Wray · Nov 16, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - I feel that GRIP will draw lots of strong opinions on either side of the spectrum and that the diehards will stick with it for the foreseeable future. It’s not likely to set the world on fire and will appeal mostly to the nostalgia of older PC gamers, but does enough to be more than a pretty paint job on top of old ideas.
Chris Jarrard · Nov 13, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - GRIP isn’t a bad racer by any means, but it could have been a lot more than what it is had the developer spent more time refining track consistency. Furthermore, the campaign itself feels nonsensical by design, and there’s certainly some population needed for its online component. Nevertheless, and despite those faults, GRIP is one of the most fun, intense and unique combat racers in recent memory.
Mark Sherwood · Nov 13, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Unfortunately, Grip is not quite able to find a style that is compelling enough to elevate it. All-in-all, I have had fun with my time in Grip, and I appreciate just how much it offers. But, unless you can only find joy when ramming another vehicle at 400 miles-per-hour, it is hard to imagine it being much more than a passing distraction.
William R. Parks · Nov 09, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Grip: Combat Racing is a fast-paced experience that is sometimes hindered by its own level design. Online matches and game optimization are where it truly shines. The campaign mode, though, becomes more of a chore than something to celebrate.
Greg Bargas · Nov 06, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - GRIP: Combat Racing is a fantastic love letter to a game that has been long since forgotten by most players. Although it’s not a true sequel, it would feel right at home as the third installment of the Rollcage franchise. Everything from the blazing speed to the level of concentration needed to process each turn will make you grip your controller tightly as you plunge into the outrageously fast vehicular combat.
