Is GRIP: Combat Racing worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Combat-racing fans who want weapons alongside high-speed driving
- Multiplayer groups seeking split-screen or online races
- Players interested in wall-riding, ceiling travel and stunt-focused tracks
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a grounded racing simulation may bounce off the airborne vehicles, wall travel and combat weapons.
- Players wanting conventional lap-based races may hit a wall when facing Carkour runs, arena deathmatch and tracks built around vertical movement.
- Solo players looking only for a short arcade mode may find the range of campaign, multiplayer, arena and timed-run modes excessive.
Our take on GRIP: Combat Racing
The bounce point arrives when racing leaves the track surface. Players who expect conventional driving may hit a wall—literally—when vehicles transfer onto ceilings, use weapons against rivals, and enter Carkour or arena modes instead of standard circuit racing.
