Editorial Review:

Product Description:
GRID is all about the race- that period from lights to flag, full of tension, pressure, noise, and action. GRID will take you to beautifully realized and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars, Grid will let you 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, you 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, each with their own atmosphere and events - play host 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.

Rating: - Great graphics, diverse, FUN!... but where's the tilt steering option??
Most other reviewers have said all there needs to be said. It's basically DIRT but less in-depth and more arcade-y, and all on paved roads (coulda called it PAVEMENT, but I guess they wanted to keep with the four-letter scheme!). Would have wished for more noticeable variation in handling between the vehicles (it is definitely there, but they basically all feel like oversized go-karts... which is not necessarily an awful thing, go-karts are FUN), and ability to tune or purchase upgrades, but as has ...

Rating: - Very realistic spot on precision
If you like arcade unrealistic gaming then this is not for you. On the other hand if you are into Gran Turismo style handling but a much more advanced visual effects and damage effects, then this game is definitely the go. Drifting is freaken awesome, spot on. I love this game the only downside that I can pick is the lack of variety of cars. Other than that this is a drivers game for sure.

Rating: - Best racing game ever!
(reviewed by my 12 year old son) Most realistic racing I've seen; really like the flashback where you can correct your mistakes. There are a lot of cars to choose from. I like the way you can design your own team, naming it, putting on decals and sponsors. Would be more fun if there were flags.

Rating: - Lacks sufficient steering wheel support
The game itself really is excellent. Very competitive and could be lots of fun for this old geezer EXCEPT that my Logitec Pro steering wheel is not properly supported. Unlike, say, Gran Turisimo Prologue, the control over steering is no better than the joystick on the controller. Steering is gross and unhelpful. The problem is in the movement required, lock to lock; I'd guess it's 60 degrees. This makes steering totally unintuitive and gives no control. And there is no adjustment for the sensitivity. ...

Rating: - Loved it from the minute I started playing
If you love racing this ones for you. It has almost every aspect of racing you can imagine. I think this game is a very good cross of need for Speed and Gran Tursimo.
