Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: As the all-new racing experience from Codemasters Studios, creators of Colin McRae: DiRT™, Race Driver: GRID is all about the race. Every moment from the adrenalin rush at the start lights to the elation at the chequered flag - the tension, pressure, noise, and action. Featuring only the most powerful race cars - current and classic, circuit and drift - players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races. With races crammed with action and incident, high-impact moments will come at you thick and fast, one right after another: engine blows, tyre blow outs, tight overtaking, accidents, opponent cars flipping, spinning, collisions with other cars and trackside objects. From humble beginnings, earning a few thousand dollars a season, build a feared and respected racing team with a multi-million dollar income and complete at dramatic race locations and dominate a multi-disciplined world of racing. In Europe, race prestige Marques, including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani, on the greatest official race circuits. Enter street competitions and race high-performance V8 muscle cars through iconic U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit. In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. As the antithesis of the box-ticking, plodding single-player race game, Race Driver: GRID delivers a diverse career mode in a persistent world of racing that provides each player with a unique experience as their team writes itself into racing folklore.

 Rating:  - More of the same please!If you like your racing fast and furious buy this...if you are feed up of starting off in wreck or a small hatch back car in games buy this... Finally a game that ticks all the right boxes, fast ready to go cars from the start, persistent and control affecting damage and visuals so good that screen shots could be hung on your walls as works of art. GRID has so much going for it I hope that a sequal is planned... Rating:  - Complete disappointmentFirstly, it looks good. Secondly, that's it. If you're serious about driving sims then try something else. This game will only end up disappointing you if you use a force feedback wheel. The calibration in- game is dreadful, and completely unrealistic. By the time you've mastered cornering or even steering in a straight line no matter what "tweaks" you apply, you'll always end up in the barrier. Unlike most other sims a slight touch of the wheel should be enough to correct any alignment withe the car at high speed. With this, you have to make a noticeable effort to turn and correct by which time you've probably overcooked it and find yourself counter-steering to correct, and then it's all over. I ain't no rookie in driving sims and I've been ... Read More: Rating: - Best Racer on the PS3Wow, Codemasters have done it again, Dirt was brilliant, but it wasn't racing. Grid is awesome, fantastic right out of the box, the sense of speed is spot on, the handling is the right side of the arcade, and real damage, bumpers fall off in front of you, you narrowly avoid a car in front that spins out of control! And I haven't even tried the online part yet, this is going to be the cause of many a late night swearing at the PS3. Brilliant, the news that Codemaster have got the next F1 game is great news! These guys no how to make a racing game! Rating:  - Takes Some Getting Used ToGrid is a difficult one, because I don't really know who to recommend this to. It's about as far removed from Gran Turismo as a racing game can get and still be on 4 wheels. But that's not to say GT fans can't enjoy Grid. The Good. Grid is a better 'racing' game. Which i think has always been the point right from the first Toca games. The opponent A.I is way better than anything GT5P had to offer and the aggressive driving isn't just reserved for you like some racers. The best feature is the instant replay and i hope its something that starts to appear more in racers. You miss a turn, crash, whatever. Hit select and you can watch the events leading up to the incident and pick the point where you want to rejoin the race at. If like ... Read More: Rating: - Must BuyFantastic graphics and gameplay. Realistic dynamics and good cars (have not driven all so cannot say they are brilliant just yet). Only bad point is that it is only single-player although multiplayer mode makes up for it. |
