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.

5 out of 5 stars Best driving game yet on the PS3   September 1, 2008
J. BELL
I read a few negative reviews and was slightly wary before purchasing this game, I need not have worried as this is the best driving game yet on the PS3. The handling isnt vague or difficult as described its an arcadey style of scene but the handling is very realistic and sim like, I have played the GTR, GTR2 series race sims on the pc for years and the handling for rear wheel drive super/muscle cars is spot on. I suspect all the gripes have come from Gran Turismo, Need for speed, Crash Burnout etc fans who dont have the patience to learn how to drive properly its absolute tosh that the handling is too sensitive. Anyone who enjoys real sims and also the F1 on PS3 and can be bothered to spend a few hours learning how to control the cars will love this. The graphics and fluidity are superb the only cheesy let down is the save your bacon replays, overall the best yet blows everything else away.

What a game - the best on line game i've played yet - single player is good - arcadey but it sure feels real enough when your driving at 260mph down the Mulsan Straight.

If you have a PS3 and like driving games this is a MUST



5 out of 5 stars More of the same please!   July 16, 2008
CGGREENHILL (Birmingham)
If you like your racing fast and furious buy this...if you are feed up of starting off in wreck or a small hatch back car in games buy this...

Finally a game that ticks all the right boxes, fast ready to go cars from the start, persistent and control affecting damage and visuals so good that screen shots could be hung on your walls as works of art.

GRID has so much going for it I hope that a sequal is planned...



1 out of 5 stars Complete disappointment   July 13, 2008

Firstly, it looks good. Secondly, that's it. If you're serious about driving sims then try something else. This game will only end up disappointing you if you use a force feedback wheel. The calibration in- game is dreadful, and completely unrealistic. By the time you've mastered cornering or even steering in a straight line no matter what "tweaks" you apply, you'll always end up in the barrier. Unlike most other sims a slight touch of the wheel should be enough to correct any alignment withe the car at high speed. With this, you have to make a noticeable effort to turn and correct by which time you've probably overcooked it and find yourself counter-steering to correct, and then it's all over. I ain't no rookie in driving sims and I've been driving karts for real for years, but this is truly horrendous as a gaming experience. Don't waste your money.


5 out of 5 stars Best Racer on the PS3   July 7, 2008

Wow, Codemasters have done it again, Dirt was brilliant, but it wasn't racing.

Grid is awesome, fantastic right out of the box, the sense of speed is spot on, the handling is the right side of the arcade, and real damage, bumpers fall off in front of you, you narrowly avoid a car in front that spins out of control!

And I haven't even tried the online part yet, this is going to be the cause of many a late night swearing at the PS3.

Brilliant, the news that Codemaster have got the next F1 game is great news! These guys no how to make a racing game!
