Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

Race Driver Grid is a recent racing game brought to us by Codemasters, the brains behind the successful Toca Touring Car series. Talk about jumping in at the deep end! With the likes of Gran Turismo and Need for Speed ruling the racing game scenes at the moment, Race Driver Grid certainly has a lot to live up to. Like many recent successful racing games, a career mode is present, under the name 'Grid World'. Here you can start your very own driving ...
...you don't actually have to race for 24 hours, now that would be a bit harsh. 24 minutes is the longest you have to race for. *Demolition Derby - My favourite. Last one standing wins, depending you cross the finish line. Furthermore, earning money for simply winning races certainly isn't enough. As you win races, sponsors will approach you with different offers were you have the opportunity to earn serious cash! Kerching! The developers of this ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

...such as real-damage and different race types such as driving, pro touge, formula one and nascar. There are many race tracks ranging from city landscapes to scenic mountains with different types of cars. They really have focused on variety in this game; the real damage tops things off portraying its realism. I liked the concept that you can hire another racer to race for your country and earn points for your team as well as yourself. choosing the ...
...he is, plus a few more factors that can determine his performance on the track. The graphics are amazing in this game but I'm sure the cars are not as modelled to the exact state of the original cars that Gran Turismo 5 are. What really bothered me is that it's only a one player game unless you go online so really multiplayer is not as simple as get your friend to grab a controller and play against you; you would have to go online. This game has ...

...could lead to a huge race ending crash. Now those familiar to Gran Turismo may complain about the lack of cars available to purchase, GRID only boasts 43 cars in total but each of these cars are proper pedal-to-medal racing cars and therefore are the cars that you really want to drive. For example I would much rather race my Pagani Zonda around the Nurburgring rather than trawl round the oval shaped courses in Gran Turismo in my Nissan Micra. Now ...

After selecting an appropriate team name and decided on the custom colours your shiny cars will sport on race day, it is up to you to build up your reputation on the track and to earn money. Money is earned buy winning races and successes on the track will enable ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

Race Driver: Grid captures the atmosphere of every race, from the starting grid to the finishing flag. It's spectacular graphics set it apart from the rest with realistic and licensed cars that make the game as thrilling as it is. When you first start the career mode you set in an American muscle car race in the streets of Detroit. Your aim obviously to win the race but, this is the first time that you see the extent of the graphics and realistic ...

Once you have done this you are able to create your own team,this allowing you to enter any race that you wish, which you have a car for, as you work your way through you gain enough moeny to buy different cars. After a few races in every season that you get the chance to enter the prestigious 24hr Le Mans Race, at the start you have the money ...

...rather than restarting the whole race you can actually rewind the race by about ten seconds and retake the corner that forced the error. Overall, good game, definitely worth a go, especially if you enjoy your racing games like myself but would insist that you rent it first as it can get a little repetitive at times. ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

On your marks, get set, go the shop and buy GRID as soon you can. === Storyline === First off the storyline is very interesting, because it engages you into the story, by using a Audio Naming system (As long you are on the list you can use your name, or use a nickname). You can also Hire a team mate and buy different cars, not to mention the option to buy cars off Ebay. === Gameplay === The gameplay is amazing and will blow you away. The graphics ...

I turned it off after ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

Race Driver Grid is an excellent new offering from those who used to offer us up the TOCA racing games all those years back. This is a terrific game with numerous different racing styles, glorious graphics, amazing audio and such an addictive speed about it. The racing varieties available mean that every racer should be covered and with a different feel to each different racing variety you never get bored or feel like you understand the full dynamics ...
...you have raced hard and come first you have the joys of the replay showing it and how accurate your driving style is with the numerous movements of the front wheels but the part that now makes this game even more amazing is that you build points as you gain results which adds such a new slant on this game style that it is likely to open this up to a new market. So what of the controls? Well this is where this game is stunning...you have different ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

This is by far in away the best racing game that i have played in a long time on any format. The graphics are spectacular, the secenery surrounding the tracks and the cars themselves are brilliant. There is a large selection of cars of many different types and quite a lot of tracks. I particularly like the ability to create your own team as part of the career mode, this lets you paint the car pretty much any colour you like and as you win more races ...
...quite arcadeish with how it goes about things. There is no qualifying to decide the grid, you seem to start where ever it feels like putting you and there are no set up options for you to fiddle with and ruin the performance of your car. Having said this these negatives don't really take away from the experience of the game, i just felt that they needed to be highlighted. ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

GRID does the racing experience better than any other game out there right now. In terms of graphics, AI, car damage, and features on offer it stands out as an excellent proposition. Where the game falls down slightly is in the car handling - the game does not go for a realistic style and instead attempts a more drift-based arcade style of racing. This never quite feels right as the cars lack weight and don't behave as you'd expect. However, when ...
...to have a lot to offer. The AI drivers provide great opposition and races never fail to be exciting and action packed. The game's career mode involves building up a team, hiring a team-mate and sponsors, and this gives the game a lot of longevity as you rise through the ranks from Demolition Derbys to Touring Cars to Le Mans. Add the excellent online races and you've got a game with a lot of long term appeal. ...

...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. If its a racing game with great realistic crashes and a slightly more arcadey feel to the driving this is the game for you. it encompasses some nice additional touches such as a fully customisable team and gives you the ability to hire team members. ...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

Grid is simple: You are part of a team looking to be the best in the world by competing in three parts: US, Europe and Japan. Each are has a special licence, which upgrades from rookie to professional as you complete events. Along the way, you earn cash for your exploits, and also get to pick up sponsors who will reward you for tasks such as finishing ahead of a competitor brand. Of course, there's a wide range of cars on offer, from muscle cars ...
...the complete sim experience. Needless to say, like most modern racing games, Grid lets you customise the look of your car; but unlike most games, it's a limited amount that you get to dabble with. Codemasters have treated the superficial stuff as a mere formality, and concentrated on the racing. ...
