The grid is a game that combines both mind blowing graphics and epic playability. The grid has an excellent array of cars and several racing modes for every kind of racing game player. it has modes such as stock car, destruction derby, le mans, drift and GP3 to name but a few. this game uses the usual race hierachy format where you play through three different "licences", where the races get consistently harder, but the diffuclty settings do cater for all levels of experience.

The game offers (almost) everything you would expect from a arcade/simulatuion racer and throws in a few twists of its own, including the Flashback system which we'll talk about more later.
The Career mode of the game, the heart of most simulation racers, is confusing at first but after a few races you realise how solid it is. Originally you only have a choice of racing for one of 3 driving teams in one of their cars, this continues for a bit and also allows you to jump into some great cars early on (including a Forumla 3 car). When you finish a race you earn reputation depending on the country you raced for and also some money, earn enough reputation and you'll progress to the next stage of the career ...
