GRID™ Is all about the race- that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.

GRID will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars – new 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.

In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. – including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events – play hosts to diverse street races. Here, high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive closely fought pack competitions.

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. There is also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama.

5.0 out of 5 stars All drivers to your cars..., July 16, 2008

This review is from: GRID (Video Game)
There are racing simulators, and then there are racing GAMES. I read a preview and an interview in two issues of Edge magazine discussing the new direction Codemasters was taking in this game, and by the time I finished the preview I was so exited I knew I had to preorder the game and make the first full-price purchase I've ever made of a 360 game. The reason is simple. As one of the game's creators said, the racing genre has become a collect-a-thon with very little to do with the joy of racing. We've come to invest massive amounts of time into things like Forza and Gran Turismo without actually enjoying the races, just trying to win enough money to buy that next car or rank high enough to unlock that next track. The Race Driver series, like the Colin McRae Rally series, has been trying to gain a foothold in the west for some time. Personally I have no problem with TOCA or Rally (I love every Colin McRae game I've played except, strangely, Dirt), but everyone else seems to need some...Read more

After playing this game for several hours, I slipped Forza Motorsport III into my XBox 360 to compare. Forza seemed shockingly tame by comparison. Forza's visuals seem artificially pretty, and they seem to be locked to a rock-steady tripod. By contrast, GRID's visuals are gritty and realistic, and the cameras seems to be hand-held. Forza's cars look like they are made of shiny plastic. GRID's cars look like real cars.

Forza *is* a great game, of the type of game it tries to be: a classy racer.

But GRID is all about *racing excitement*. In fact, I haven't played it for days, and I'm getting excited just thinking about playing it. No other game has captured for me so well the sense of urgency in racing a car.

GRID, however, isn't your typical arcade racer. The driving model feels terribly realistic, even with all possible driving aids turned on. This is one game you must *learn* how to drive. Winning any race in GRID is an *achievement*. The...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Grid is an Exellent Game But Lacks Some Small Features, August 6, 2008

This review is from: GRID (Video Game)
Let me start out by saying that grid is an unbelievable game. the cars all look great, the tracks look amazing, and the game really gives a feeling that you have a race team. Being able to manage your team and sign sponsors and drivers adds to the realistic qualities. The controls are spot on, however the physics seem a little too forgiving sometimes. The ai makes up for the physics. Your competition will always race like real drivers and will try and win the race. An example of this would be that you hear over your intercom that a driver spun out trying to pass another driver. The intercom is one of the few small flaws. The intercom is mostly helpful but is sometimes deceptive. I've had the intercom tell me that my tires are toast and then five seconds later say everything is fine. Sometime when the car gets really messed up it doesn't say anything! The damage is very realistic and will have varied effects on the cars. Sometimes they will swerve to one side or just stop...Read more
