If you want hard and fast driving with an awesome range of race types this is the game for you. If you are sick of the repeat Need For Speed saga give this game a go. The best racing game I have played hands down.
Excellent, excellent game.
First off, it has been rated as DiRT with no…dirt.
But it really is great, the career mode is a bit more interactive and lively but follows the same sort of pattern.
The graphics are truly STUNNING. If you're someone who misses plentiful amounts of smoke, you'll love GRID. The amount of smoke when doing a burnout/drifting or spinning out is awesome. Makes drifting feel that much more real.
The handling can be quite hard but once you get used to it it becomes second nature. Online play is great, from Touring Car tournaments to a freestyle drift session around several blocks with a bunch of mates.
MUST BUY!
After downloading the Demo via Xbox Live Marketplace a couple of days ago, I am really looking forward to Race Driver: GRID coming in a couple of months. I completed a couple of races each of the Circuit Race in the BMW and the street race in the Dodge and loved them both. However, it's the Drifting that has me sold. The drift physics and smoke effects are amazing! Couple that with the awesome damage model and general handling physics and you have a top notch game. Graphics are tip top too!
I'm going to download the PS3 demo for it, and compare the two before I decide what system to get it on. However, Xbox360's achievements and superior online service have me more or less decided.
Regardless of what format you'll be playing it on, this game will be well worth the expense.
This game is a great game to play, love the drifting :D
Amazing service by the mighty ape team as always.
Definately recommended to all that like driving games :D
