GRIDâ Is all about the race- that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.
GRID will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. 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.
In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. – including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events – play hosts to diverse street races. Here, high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive closely fought pack competitions.
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. There is also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama. | Key Features
- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RACE: Codemasters Studios' history of creating stellar racing titles, combined with AI and the ability of the EGO engine allow them to deliver GRID - a pure and cinematic race experience
- A GREATER, MORE DIVERSE, WORLD OF RACING: New and classic, track and street – conquer the greatest racetracks and then go beyond with road races and urban street competitions
- JUMP BEHIND THE WHEEL OF SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING CARS: Exotics, imports and beefy muscle cars are all available to race in hugely varied events with grids of up to twenty cars aggressively competing for the lead
- THREE DISTINCT RACING REGIONS: Europe, US and Japan are all beautifully designed, each with their own individual takes on racing: U.S.A – In thunderous V8 muscle cars, race diverse courses on city streets in flat out, door banging racing action; Japan – Reject traditional Western racing and drift over to Japan for action the fringes of legality in industrial areas and back streets from dusk 'till dawn; Europe – Race the famous tracks dominated by Le Mans in some of the most technologically advanced cars ever created such as the Ferrari F430 GT, Lamborghini Murcielago GTR, Aston Martin DBR9, Koenigsegg CCXR and Porsche 911 GT3-RSR
- EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN IN A RACE PROBABLY WILL: A GRID race tests a driver's skills at every turn -- crammed with high-impact moments such as, engine fires, tire blow outs, bump and runs, wild crashes involving flipping, spinning, and collisions with other cars and trackside objects
- ENHANCED EGO ENGINE DRIVES ALL NEW HIGH IMPACT CRASH DAMAGE AND SEQUENCES: Physics models will ensure that collisions and crashes yield the kind of spectacle that a Hollywood movie director would ask for. Slow motion will be used extensively to give replays the blockbuster treatment

 Tried the Demo, and Bought the Game Immediately September 15, 2008
voiceoverthewall.com (United States)
I tried the demo from the Playstation Network and bought the game the same night. This game is that good. The menu options are a delight to say the least. Not overly complex, and styled very well.
The graphics and sounds of this game are top-notch. Even though the damage that becomes visibile on your car may be a bit over-the-top, it looks great. I like how your car eventually becomes totaled if you wreck it too much.
GRID is a bit hard to control because the controls are so sensitive and responsive. I am sure with more time, I'll be able to finish a race!
Online play is exciting. It is a very enjoyable aspect of this generation of games.
Good game. September 8, 2008
E. Albino
This game is good, but i am a race game player, and it is dificult to me to win a single race, imagine a rookie playing this game on first time playing racing games.
the races are good, and the graphics, and the game play, but it is for payers how played racing games before.
so realistic with the car sounds.
 NO 2 PLAYER!!! August 25, 2008
YSR to RCV (San Diego, CA United States)
You've already read other people's reviews and they are generally spot-on. However, they don't make it obvious that you can't have a friend over and play one-on-one. WTF? This is a COLOSSAL downgrade in my opinion. I can only play with people online or find a friend and drag him over and set him up on LAN play with his dedicated PS3/TV.
Great game, but you've been warned...
Amazing Game August 24, 2008
ahmed samiey
At first, i was gonna get Burnout Paradise or GT 5 but some ppl recommended this game and i said what the heck lemme get. After playing the game i felt really happy bout it since its more real like not like GT 5 in which if you hit the fence your car doesnt get damaged or lose your speed.
And another great thing bout the game is that it has 3 different kinds of races like american cars, Japanese or Track races. I really recommend this game for all who are in favor of car games.

If you are a racing game fan, then this game is a must have. A lot of people are comparing this to GT5, but I truely believe that you cannot compare the two games. Although the GT series games are freakin awesome, GRID is a heck of alot more nailbiting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I think racing fans will enjoy playing this game because it still gives you a challenge and it is not a weak game. Winning a race is also so very very satisfying when you do win. Racing gamers MUST have this game in their library as well as Gran Turismo.
