Product Description

Platform: Xbox 360

Amazon.co.uk

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.

REVIEW 5 Jun 2008
Platform for Display:Xbox 360
Fun:   
if you're going to read ONE review, read this one:

I read the previous reviews, and that made me hasty to buy, alot of people were saying, the game is too hard, the AI is bad, etc

Let me say alot of people are basing this on the DEMO (which i have no played), but after getting the game, it looks fantastic. If you've played DIRT you'll understand, they're 'juiced' up the graphics engine for this game. the physics are realistic, the AI drivers are very 'human' (i.e. the stop if you get infron, as opposed to bang you as if you dont exist, sometimes under pressure they'll spin out).
ever car feels, sounds, drives differently... and u never get bored. from DRIFT (wiht the japanese guy in the background commenting on your performance), to Formula 3, to destruction derby, to 24hrs lemans, to GT races, PRO TUNE, american muscle etc!
as you progress in your career, you can hire a driver, make more money, get sponsors. It's very well laid out, not complicated at all!
and day and night graphics are immense, and the damage is unreal (well, very real in this case), and YES if u damage your car enough, it affects your performance.. i mean what would you expect? this isn't an ARCADE GAME, but it's not as hard core driving simulation as GT PROLOGUE. the inside views are superb, and need i go on?

IF you liked Forza2 , Dirt, GT PROLOGUE, you'll love this, no question about it.

Platform for Display:Xbox 360
Fun:   
TOCA has always been a good racing game. All the games have recieved excellent reviews from various sources, mainly because of their realism and huge variety, but GRID takes things to another level.
The graphics are definately next gen. Everything looks beautiful, especially the head to head night time mountain racing tracks. Just watching the light coming off the mountains is breath taking. However, all the levels are great.
However, it is the gameplay where this game delivers in huge doses. The main game mode involves you trying to make it to the top by completing a series of races accross Europe, the USA and Japan. These involve drifting events, touring car races, the Le Manns 24 hour circuit (which simulates 24 hours to roughly 50 secs to an hour so that you drive through the night) open wheel events, destruction derbys and other events. The cars range from BMWs, to Nissans, to Formula 1 cars and other specialties. Theres over 40 cars in total, which doesn't sound that impressive, but when you consider that they all handle and control very, very differently, you have 40 very unique cars. However, thats not the entire game. You also have the option of choosing sponsors for your car. Completing their objectives means more money, and the ability to hire a team mate. Then there are other job offers by other companies, however, we have not even mentioned the online.
With up to 12 people racing, the possibility of lag was enormous. Let me answer here and now that there is VIRTUALLY NO LAG THAT I HAVE SEEN. You can participate in any event, racing with people from accross the world. You earn experience for wins which allows you to increase your rank from rookie, to pro and then further. My personal favourite is the carnage of destruction derby. The two jumps in the track over cars travelling in the other directions causes some spectacular crashes. I have seen many.
Yet there is one last thing I want to talk about. You can now flashback, allowing you to retake parts of the track where you wrote off your car,or where you severly damaged your car (yes all damage to your car is visible). Its a fantastic innovation and is more forgiving then previous games, but pros won't be deterred as this can be turned off in pro mode for extra rewards.

Fun:   
Grid is a great driving game but i didn't believe my mate when he said it was better than forza. After downloading the demo however i was very impressed by it. After tellling the game what your name is the mechanic always says it afterwards like "thats a big crash harry, are you alright." This is a small step but there is no dialogue in forza or pgr which makes it a nice touch. When i started my first race in a touring car i was amazed to see 20 CARS on the grid which made the first corner frantic as everyone bashed into each other. This was when i discovered the amazing and best so far damage system were massive chunks of car fall off and cars can barrelroll as well as be completely totalled with their tyres coming off.

In a san francisco street race i ploughed into a tyre wall and was impresssed to see all the tyres exploding in different directions which is better than the solid tyre walls in forza. Another nice touch is you can rewind several seconds before impact and try to avoid it second time round which is good if you make a bad mistake on the 10th lap as you dont have to completely restart. In single player you work to gain reputation. you get more for harder difficulty like manual transmission. in multiplayer there is a voting system were everyone in the game chooses there preferred option. up to 12 players i believe.

The cars handle well but can get annoying when you accelerate and just spin it. there is a cockpit view which is just as good as the pgr one. The main problem i have with the game is the game types like drift mode which you have to do and on multiplayer it seems that you are lucky to survive the first bend. overall a great driving game with many new unseen features. well worth the money.

Brilliant driving simulator!
This racing allows you to do what other games don't, and that is, full damage, the car completely stops working and parts of it fall out. Read more
