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.

Fantastic 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.


3 out of 5 stars Almost a great game!!!   June 30, 2008

I have enjoyed the Toca series of games on the PS2 and this title sounded great for the PS3....
well its almost a great game, the reason I say almost is that like so many other reviews it is very arcade like in style and game play the car feels like it has tyres made by Bertie basset.

the sound and graphics are great the AI is very good just as well the online play is awful!!!! no where as good as toca 3 ,

To sum up if codemasters included all the tracks and racing genres as well as the fantastic online playability of toca 3 this game would be huge,
and would be a real contender for top car racer..maybe even better than the GT series.

will be going back to toca 3 for the online racing.



3 out of 5 stars Fell out of love with this game quickly...   June 29, 2008

I have mixed feelings regarding this game. It may look good and offer you a decent selection of cars (don't be fooled, there aren't that many), but is that what gamers want from titles these days? Unfortunately, if you are the kind of gamer that likes to customize your set-ups and race with a feeling of 'road' underneath you, then this game is not for you. It is far too 'arcady' to be fun and the amounts of crashes you will be victim to (through no fault of your own that is), is ludicrous. I know racing is a tempestuous affair, but this game stops being fun once you make a few restarts. Everything is far too fast. Ultimately, the menus are nice with a funky tune on there & the career mode is a good idea with sponsors and team mates etc. But without the overall playability of a real SIM, this game falls so far short and ruins all it's good work. One can only hope Gran Tourismo (Full Game), will end up being the real sim I have been waiting for. Somebody somewhere, please make a truly great game for PS3.


5 out of 5 stars Brilliant racer   June 28, 2008
Have been totally addicted to this game since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. The graphics are trully amazing and the gameplay is almost perfect. It takes a bit of getting used to but when you do it gives you such a sense of achievement when you make it onto the podium. The only slight disappointment is the lack of a two player split screen mode, but this hasn't really impacted my overall view due to the slick presentation and sheer fun of playing.
