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. The DS Version also offers quick-fire play styles in the form of Challenges, Time Trials, Speed Tests and Chase events.
Best Racing Game by far you can't go past a game like Grid, with its excellent in-game graphics, different styles of racing and range of vehicles. it will definately get you hooked for hours
Great game I'm usually a little put off by arcade style racing games as the car handling is rubbish. But I have constantly been impressed by the Race Driver series of games.
GRID is a fantastic game, with great car physics that make if fun whilst still being real enough. Unlike other games just cause you lose traction in the rear end of a rear wheel drive car, doesn't mean you lose control and spin out, power slides are easy to maintain and great fun (like a real rear drive car).
The damage system is very good while not being to realistic (you can take and give some hard knocks).
I'm probably a quater if the way through the campain game and loving it, getting sponsors and team mates makes earning money easy, although it can be a little lean at the start when you don't have much money.
Anyone who is looking for an arcade racer with more realistic car handling, this is the game for you. I would highly recommend this games.
Crazy good. This game is a perfect mix between a more arcade like racer like the burnout series and more simulation-based one, perfect example being Gran Turismo. So if you're looking for a racer that is more realistic in handling but will still be fun, get this game!
No title Yes yes yes, Gird is one of the best next gen racing games, smooth graphics, nice level design and the overall concept between realistic 𦽳imulation� and video game was cleverly solved.
Plenty races to do, USA, Japan and Europe and most levels looking great. At first time playing wow I thought that𠏋 the way how HD gamming should look like ALL the time, after couples of drives around the track you got familiar with the controller handling�..
Gird is one of those games you just can㦙 get enough of it, you keep playing and playing and then you find out hours gone by the first time you start the game�
I hope Codemaster already working on Gird 2, and if I would be the first one how get myself a copy�
The fact you can chose interactively your race-buddy, can make a winning or a loosing�,by time you progress and you have more money to spend on drivers you should pick a well balanced driver.
Also this customizing program is quite nice idea, I like the change the 弎randing� of my cars for time to time, this makes you always occupied with doing something and you don㦙 feel left out of the game.

Grid (xbox 360) Good racing game. The variety of races keeps you going and keeps you challenged. The only thing I don't like so much is the lack of customization in both the paint job and the performance of the car.
But as far as the racing is concerned it pays out in spades.
best racing game i've played in ages addicting, exciting, great graphics and awesome gameplay :)
the online mode is very good and doesn't lag very much
awesome graphics and engine As I said in the title, this game rocks! Very good online mode too, which is very nice to play with people from different countries, and without any lag! The only thing missing in this game is offline multiplayer... but is a great game! Buy it!
Race Driver: GRID It doesn't seem enough to crank out a racing game these days. Put together a few fancy cars, jazz things up with rap music and a few token Asians and you get a video game in the Too Fast Too Furious movie genre. Codemasters, however, have come up with something better. Race Driver: Grid is not just pretty. It can actually attract a broad range of players with both its realism and fun-to-drive races. It is an arcade racer which lets you drive like the devil without worrying about how badly your car skids. It is also a realistic simulator that will wow most fans except diehards who demand ultra-realism on the track. What makes the game tick are the simply beautiful graphics and sound. Yes, sound. The realistic roar of the engines and cheering from the crowd make this more immersive than the Need For Speed series of racing games. The graphics are top-notch. For example, a damaged spoiler will hang off a car and only fall off after a while. Do take note that you can end up wrecking your car so badly that you have to retire from a race. The first car I fired up - using a keyboard rather than my Logitech Rumplepad controller - crashed right into the first turn with a loud band (not the stupid thud you hear in other games). I had a choice to either replay the race from just before the crash or start all over again. Yes, purists will bemoan that kind of "arcade-style" driving. But, hey, you can restart the entire race if you are gung ho enough. How gung ho you want to be depends on how good a driver you are. You can customize that according to the "reputation" you earn from each race. In the Race Driver: Grid world campaign mode, you choose from a number of assignments or races to take on as you build up your career. The tougher the race, the more money and reputation you earn - and the faster you can get your hands on new cars. There is a nice range of cars to pick from, with American favorites like the Dodge Viper and metallic rides like Nissan's Skyline - a monster to take to the track. What you choose sometimes depends on what race you take on. There are standard street races and there are drift contests where you can choose the Toyota AE86 of Initial D fame. There are also midnight "Touge" races down the slopes of Japan's mountains a la Initial D, so fans can live out their fantasies of the cult anime and movie. How realistic a race can be depends on you. You can turn on driving assists such as traction control and stability control, both real-world technologies built into cars to prevent them from skidding. If you are a genuine motorhead, do without them and assume full manual control. That's part of the nice balance of realism and newbie-friendliness you'll find in the game. This balance also extends to the tracks. You begin with gentle turns and graduate to tracks that will have you fingers entangled with your game controller. This brings me to one thing that irked me about the game. There is no out-of-box support for the popular Logitech Cordless Rumblepad and I had to download a software patch to enable it. Once I got the problem solved, however, it was mostly a happy drive for me.

Grid is so fast!! It's really a great game, price is cool (even with delivery cost). it's easier to drive your car than in Gran Turismo but it's not the same game, not really a simulation. you got many kind of races (drift, formula 3, le Mans etc...).
