Amazon.co.uk Review

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.

Product Description

Race Driver: GRID is all about the race. Discover a stunning world of motorsport brought to life, from racing muscle cars through the iconic streets of San Francisco and competing in the legendary 24 hours of Le Mans to drifting around the docks of Yokohama. Jump behind the wheel of exhilarating racing cars in the most aggressive, spectacular wheel-to-wheel races you've ever experienced. Then prove yourself online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphics are sweet and the gameplay is nice 1 Jun 2008
Platform for Display:PC
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Been playing the demo for like 2 hours and felt the urge to buy this game.

When I got the game, I tried out playing with cars on higher leagues such as the le mans vehicles and it totally put me off the game. But when I started from the lower leagues, it brings you back into the game and it makes so addictive. I really love the game style on how you wish to setup your career with assisted stopping, level changer and such functionalities.

The graphics of the game is really gorgeous. Currently running on this rig with no slow down at all:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ 3.2GHz
GIGABYTE 570-SLi Chipset Motherboard
NVIDIA 9600GT 1024MB (2x512MB) SLi Config OC'd
4GB GeIL Black Dragon Ultimate Gaming RAM
320GB Samsung Spinpoint T

The game does not even break a sweat since going SLi. Before on one card I felt lag when burning dohnuts but I get no lag at all.

The game is really one of the top draws for racer games and worthwhile playing @ LAN or online.

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   
Before you buy this game you should be aware that the excellent online multiplayer part has been shut down after just 3 years by Codemasters as they say the game is now "too old". Apparantly though its not to old to keep trying to sell it so I wanted to warn people of what they are buying. Codemasters have certainly lost my custom for their poor treatment of a loyal fan base.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Good 21 Jan 2009
Platform for Display:PC
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I have to say I'm gobsmacked by some of the negative reviews this game has received. I'm using a Logitech gamepad that was easy to configure in the options menu and has given me hours of racing enjoyment. Handling seems to be the biggest gripe for most people but for me its a positive part of the game as you cant expect to take a corner at 300 mph like arcade racing games and then overtake 10 cars in the straight. The game makers have tried to create a fun but semi-realistic racing game that you can pick up and play but also hone your skills and improve as time goes on. The graphics are out of this world (helped by my new pc set up, quad core and 9600 GT graphics card) and the career options make this hard to put down after just a couple of hours of playing. If you have a little patience and give this game a chance it will be one of the best games you have ever played!

3.0 out of 5 stars fun but frustrating
1st off, just to say this DOES work on Windows 7. That's what I use it on. Can't speak for your own graphics card or other hardware of course, but for the OS, Win 7 is fine. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't use with steering wheel
Its very good and realistic in most senses, but its large problem is the steering. It's too digital it's a case of you are either going forward, left or right. Read more
