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.

1 out of 5 stars RACE DRIVER GRID - A TURN OFF   November 24, 2008
Frederico Bloggs (Bignor, Sussex, England)

Race Driver Grid is not a good game, it is too difficult and the tracks are repetetive. You crash too many times and other drivers get in your way, it is very annoying. It does not look bad though and the sound is ok. But all in all it is a frustrating experience. Do not bother. 2/10.


5 out of 5 stars Genuinely the best Xbox360 racer   November 4, 2008

Truly a super racer and for me the only one I pick up now.
Initially I toyed with the demo, struggled a bit with the unwieldy and twitchy steering the rwd BMW touring cars posed but the reviews said "stick with it, you'll get it". Well, it felt a bit friskier than PGR3, Forza 2 and the like but true enough, I did stick with it. And boy am I glad I persevered!
Suddenly it clicks and you feel totally connected with the car and the road - the steering and suspension is so much more fluid and alive than the likes of Forza.
Once you've put a few laps in (and realised that you can't cane it on full lock with cold tyres and expect not to spin out) you will get it and you will love it.
Beautiful graphics, incredible crash and damage modelling, gutsy sound and most critically for a racing game, totally fluid feel.

Buy it and enjoy it - it's in a different class.

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! A must buy... for the serious gamer to the "just play a quick race game" player. It is stunning... the graphics are breathtaking, you could actually be driving. The damage is so real that you just want more. I just could not stop playing the game. As for the demolition derby, well I almost passed out from laughter it generated... I must be the only demolition derby driver that destroyed his own car without hitting anyone else, useless or what. This is truly a fun game and extremely addictive. This is definitely a game to buy; have fun!!!!

Grid is an amazing racing game, it simulates racing action, speed and effects very realistically. This is the first of many of racing games to be in this layout, so we will soon see updates and impressive changes to the games, overall the game is for people who don't get annoyed when they end up in a wall. i would give this game, 5/5 for graphics 4/5 gameplay 5/5 overall.


5 out of 5 stars The ultimate racing experience so far   August 17, 2008

Just when you think racing games can't get any better along comes grid. This is simply the best racing game ever, the flashback feature is ingenious (If you drive into a wall at speed you total your car. Instead of bouncing off as in other less good racing games, but your race isn't other you get up to 4 flashbacks per race a chance to rewind the action 4 or 5 second and try again.) With varying game difficulties, all driving options drift, open wheel, touring cars, muscle cars, demolition derby (great on Xbox live) and the le mans 24 hour where you drive through a sunrise and sunset this game has it all. Including the oppurtunity to hire and fire a team mate to race with you. Graphically amazing, a real must have. When inevitablly Grid 2 comes along lets hope they add bikes.
