Your thoughts about the game from Codemasters: Grid 2

Hey guys and girls!

I'm a big fan of racing games, and we're almost at the launch of the game from Codemasters, Grid 2.
I loved the first Grid and a lot of Codemasters' work behind other racing games (like the DiRT series), but i'm starting to get somewhat scared (if thats the word i'm looking for) for this new game, and i know i'm not the only one.

I've watched some videos about the game, to check out some of the alpha's impressions and they look quite good, graphically at least, some great smoke fx, etc etc. What really concerns me is the gameplay and the driving itself, it looks too arcadie (i know, its not supposed to be a simulator like Gran Turismo or Forza, or something like that), but the first Grid and the 3 first DiRT games (all, except for 'Showdown') had a fairly good driving and great car deformation/destruction.
Those were the 2 main aspects of the game that worry me in this new game, because they look (to me) very similar to the dissapointment (imo) that DiRT Showdown was in both those aspects, to say the least.
When it comes to tracks, event variety and car selection, well i'm not too worried about that, they never failed to deliver, although DiRT3 could've had more countries/locations, apart from that, it was great!

So these are my thoughts about what i've seen so far about this game that i'm looking forward to, i'd like to see what you have to say about it, if you agree or don't agree with what i think about this.

Also, bear in mind that English is not my main language, so go easy on me if something is misspelled or if some word is out of context, ehh you get what i mean!

Have a rest of a good week,

Cheers!
