Description
Race Driver: 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.

"Great graphics, but really needs a wheel to play."
The graphics, and sounds are delicious, it is best played with a good speaker system turned up quite loud for best effect. The developers also made a great job on the physics, hence the crashes are almost more fun than the driving, the big thing for me however was that as I play with just the keyboard I found it just too difficult to handle the cars well enough to actually win many races even on the basic setting. Just touching the arrow keys to turn results in an oversteer. Perhaps I will hang on to the game until I get a wheel to get the most out of it, right now I can only give it a 3 at best unfortunately.

"Very Good Game"
This game is fantastic. Physics is great, cars aren't bad, and the tracks are great.
However, online can get frustrating, as the cars can get destroyed quite easily, so you have to be careful not to hit anyone, otherwise people get very angry at you, and aims to destroy your car, making you sit out for the rest of the round!

"Excelent wheel support"
Bleeding great game. excelent range of races, nice handling, nice damage, and its bleeding difficult at times. And despite some people claiming it doesnt support a wheel... they obviously havent used google.
out of the box, wheel support is a joke, but if you turn off driving aids - specificaly the one that tampers with understeer - you instantly get perfect steering on a wheel. (saying this with a logitech momo - meaning anyone with a g25 will have excelent support).
excelent game, with an awesome range of races - it never gets dull and boring.

"Great way to kill some time..."
Excellent game, great graphics, but a controller or wheel is an absolute must.
Being 'Games for Windows' it only accepts the XBox controller. If you only have a standard controller there is a hack available to allow it to emulate the XBox version (Just search Google for 'xinput').
Must agree that online play can be frustrating if you bum out early in a race by totaling your car, but that's the nature of racing.
Will continue to thoroughly enjoy this game for some time.
