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.

Rating: - Amazing
i think it is so good. I think the game is so realistic because when you have a crash it is just like in real life. If you have a massive crash you can not couninue with the race. I think it is very good.

Rating: - Sceptical at first, but it is brilliantly addictive!
I am a fan of sim race games, always looking for that extra realism, as I race in real life as well as in computer games. Therefore I was sceptical about this game before purchase, and also for my first race.

However this changed very quickly, as it became clear that, while this is not a true simulator, it is really good fun! The racing still requires a certain degree of precision and gentle control to go fast, but you can also get away with making mistakes, but still go onto win. ... Read More

Rating: - Nice Demo. What happened to the game?
If you want something to show off the graphic capabilities of your P3 then this is ideal. the crashes are amazing. But if you are looking to actually race you will be very dissapointed.

Rather than use real tracks Codemaster have decided to make most of them up. It takes a special kind of incompetence to take the most graphically advanced games console there is and make half the tracks virtually unplayable because you cant see where you are going. But incompetence is what Codemasters ... Read More

Race Driver: GRID (PS3)
Race Driver: GRID (PC DVD)
I bought the game for its LAN Play capabilities, i.e. play between multiple PS3 machines on a local network, specifically for playing in a location with no Internet connetion.

It turns out that you must have an Internet Connection and log in, in order to set up and play a local game.

Rating: - The Best Racer Available
The best racer available. Race Driver: GRID places its focus on actual racing, and injects a breath of fresh air into what was becoming a stagnant genre.
Simulation-heavy games like Gran Turismo & Forza are nothing like GRIDS arcade approach. In fact, its difficult to pinpoint exactly why GRID is such a good racer. Every aspect just feels refined and polished. It isnt perfect, but the closest thing available.

In the career mode GRID World, the aim is to climb the ranks. ... Read More
