Brief synopsis of Race Driver: Grid

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 the multi-disciplined world of racing.

Rated - 4 starsHard to master - but great fun

This game can be rather frustrating at first - it's all-to-easy to just spin around when you're accellerating off, but when you're used to the controls it's very rewarding.

The most impressive aspect is the replay of a race, where you can view from most angles a frame-by-frame replay, in forwards/reverse. It's like watching crash tests!

Download the demo on the PS3 to get a good idea of what it's like and if it's for you.

Rated - 4 starsGreat stuff

Offline is good fun, but the best laughs are on the multiplayer. If you aren't playing this online YOU'RE MISSING OUT!

The online is an emotional rollercoaster somwhere between bite your nails off stress to bitter hatred of every other driver on the track. Great stuff! (being serious here) Best racer on PS3 until the full version of GT comes out.

Rated - 5 starsVery very good driving game

A customer from Bolton , 18/11/2008

Race Driver:Grid, the sort of game that is a bit of everything. Its technical, and yet not too deep a la GT.

I personally found it very challenging and entertaining, enough options to keep everyone happy and the cars look superb. Also the tracks here look brilliant and the variety of different racing variations from le mans to formula 3000 to destruction derby are going to keep you playing for weeks! Even my girlfriend loved it and she doesnt play alot of games! (she did love venting her anger online on destruction derby, which makes me think i'll drive next time we go out)

I would have liked to see a few more tracks, but thats just my opinion. Theres plenty otherwise to get your teeth into. Great game!

Rated - 3 starsShame about the handling

SCHUEYISDABEST from Warminster , 12/09/2008

The graphics are good, the game looks good, the idea of buying cars etc is good but the controls let it all down. The acceleration is to fast, braking is too fast, for example at the 50M board going into the final chicane at the nurburgring, i brake and can get through the corner in a really low class single seater!!! Also the steering is way over reactive, if you have the in car view it makes you dizzy because it is so ott :(
