June 2025
for thirty years the playstation games, rollcage and rollcage stage two, were unmatched in any format. we needed network play, new music, some customisation, and any resolution. of course, after thirty years, we lose hope. now we have grip. and it's absolutely gorgeous. most of the menu flow is honed toward quickly getting to a mode and track with all the nuanced options within easy reach at the same time. the complete garage being available at every step, even between tournament rounds, allowing loading a complete set of custom paints and changing vehicles per track. dlc is integrated seamlessly and applied with customisations same as the wide library of in game unlockable content. if seamless rhythm through the menus and outside the game isn't needed then the dlc music tracks are also in the main game with all the wild energy depth and ingenious complexity of rollcage's original offerings. and then there is the race tracks. everything is bigger except the crucial racing lines which are crazy, swooping from one epic landscape to another through precise crevices and conduits. many routes, frequent surprises, and vast expanses of beautiful places. as of 2025 i add some notes: the resolution does not yet play well with steamdeck, so screen settings must be twiddled in game and out while most text is still unreadable. several bugs persist, like the 'insert coin' message even for an unequivocal win, and false 'wrong way' warnings. npc names and pics are inconsistant between every screen and random players are highlighted in race stats. these bugs don't stop the racing but they mess with the experience. special note for players with ptsd or sensitive to violence, the gameplay is not visceral, only robotic battling and extreme environments. yet from the first icon to the game mode names and trophy names and more is toxically violence coded. i don't know who expects this from a game that instantly replaces every vehicle back on track, but i have to conclude the developers team has bowed to a perceived userbase that favours toxic edginess in multiplayer racing games, even though the nature of the game is like it's wild carefree inspiration, rollcage stage two for the playstation one. still i give this game a recommendation due to the fluent multiplayer machinations in the sheer beauty of the epic level design which must be experienced by everyone who can cope with the technical and attitude issues.

VERY fun high octane combat racer. It's just a shame there is no community online. If we could get a competitive community together it would be outstandingly addictive.

2 minute TLDR: Grip is a ton of fun, for people who are fans of the old Rollcage series. While not perfectly polished, the little snags the game does have don't massively hold it back from being enjoyable alone or with friends.

One of the better racing games on the market. Exceptionally underrated. Tips for new players though especially on the harder maps, set engine speed to low. It'll help prevent Rainbow Road situations with those maps. Really hoping for a GRIP 2.

A lot of fun if you have a controller. You can buy it cheap too at $3.20 on sale. There's a bunch of dlc but its all cosmetic so no problem. I was honestly getting bored with all the games I have and somehow I feel like this is the best thing I've bought. Is it a realistic racer game? No its better. Its looks and runs great, is a lot of fun and has a good learning curve. The racing takes priority over combat/weapons which add a nice touch of flavor to the races. You can turn it off if it bothers you but its a lot of fun for me. Lots of good maps too. I just finished the campaign and I have to say its more there for you to learn the courses and get better. There is no story other than the rival system at the end of each tier. It lets you play through all the courses while upping the difficulty with each tier. A great way to keep learning the courses, have fun, and test your skills as the difficulty progressively increases. Yes buy this game and recommend it to others if you like it. Steam reviews are important for highlighting games like this.
