Codemasters is promising all kinds of wunderbar things for Grid2 like "new standards for a racing multiplayer experience" and "the most visceral and exhilarating racing yet." The 24-karat test of those claims will have to wait until we can get controllers in our hands, but not for too much longer: The game will be shipping to stores on May 28 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC.
What we can confirm now is that there will be three different options for special edition downloadable content depending on whether you pre-order the game at GameStop, Best Buy or Amazon. GameStoppers will get the McLaren (http://autoblog.com/mclaren) and Nissan GT-R (http://autoblog.com/nissan/gt-r) Racing Packs, featuring the MP4-12C GT3 (http://autoblog.com/tag/mp4-12c+gt3) and two new ways around the UK's Brands Hatch track in the former, and a GT-R SpecV (http://autoblog.com/tag/gt-r+specv) plus an exclusive online event and five daytime circuits at Yas Marina in the latter.
Get the goods from Best Buy and you'll get the IndyCar (http://autoblog.com/tag/indycar) Pack that includes the series Pace Car and Dallara chassis, an exclusive online event and two additional routes around The Brickyard. Amazon's version will offer the Head Start Pack, which is a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT (http://autoblog.com/tag/slr+mclaren+722+gt)on top of discounts in the Car Upgrades Store and a RaceNet bonus.
You have about 120 days to decide which one is for you, with the help of the high-res gallery above.
