Product Description
Race Driver: 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.
Features:
- Incredible persistent world of racing encompassing Muscle car racing, Drift racing, and Circuit racing in Detroit, San Francisco, Milan, Tokyo, Yokohama, Spa, Le Mans and many more
- Mind-blowing soft-body damage to vehicles and environments to the most aspirational and incredible vehicles and tracks – all fully licensed
- Stunning visual treatment and accessible handling system
- Evolution of the physics system used in Colin McRae™ DiRT™ – EGO surpasses all previous engines in terms of AI, effects and packed grids
- 3D crowd ( up to 40,000 in the crowd) and highly detailed environments – a living breathing racing world
- Built for online multiplay – up to 12 players
- Over 40+ vehicles spread over various racing styles including drift, closed circuit racing and open road racing
- Over 60+ AI driver profiles ensures competetive racing experience is different every time

Excelent wheel support
 Reviewed by Ariel from Christchurch, NZ on September 21st, 2008
Bleeding great game. excelent range of races, nice handling, nice damage, and its bleeding difficult at times. And despite some people claiming it doesnt support a wheel... they obviously havent used google.
out of the box, wheel support is a joke, but if you turn off driving aids - specificaly the one that tampers with understeer - you instantly get perfect steering on a wheel. (saying this with a logitech momo - meaning anyone with a g25 will have excelent support).
excelent game, with an awesome range of races - it never gets dull and boring.
Stunning Graphics And Gameplay
Reviewed by Joseph on September 16th, 2008
This game rocks, I've played the demo and I'm definetly planning on buying it. It may not be the most realistic of driving games in the sense of handling, but realism doesn't necessarily define fun. Though the physics and graphics did blow me away. The amount of damage you can do to your car is incredible, and there are some really nice particle effects in this game.
So - So. Pretty but way too fake

Graphics: good, Car detail: good, Realisim in physics engine & handling:Non Existent. This game really reminds me of V8 Supercars1 where it took a bit of playing to get used to but you could take hairpins at over 100 if you got it right... But yeah right! The thing is the game is geared towards players who have controller pads or play on the keyboard, that is great for those people but for the rest of the "wheel purists" (as Dave states) out there forget it... Bruce was right when saying "The game is not that much of a simulation feel to it but its fun to play and easy to pick up", where Dave might be right in saying "This is by far the best game you can possibly play with a keyboard before it gets too simulated, and I can see that Wheel support is all there for you purists" I disagree in that the wheel suport is not there... REECE "has" to be playing on a controler not a Wheel...
If you have a wheel (preferably a logitech G25 & race in manual 6 speed with clutch) then forget it & just stick to GTR2 for Race Track Simulation or Richard Burns Rally for Rally. If you want not hard but arcade style off road then Dirt is ok but McRae Rally 2005 was the most fun arcade style off road out there for fun not realisim... I guess this is the same, really easy & far from true but games are meant for games not simulation right...
BTW "NFS"... Yeah right a real need for speed fan would want at least some realism...

PERFECT

ALL I CAN SAY IS ITS THE BEST DAM DRIVING GAME IVE EVER PLAYED .
Move over players...
Reviewed by Dave from Nelson, NZ on May 27th, 2008
GRID has to be the best racing game ever. The DRIFT for a start is supremely awesome. You have to work it like there's no tomorrow. It beats NFS (pick your flavour) hands down in that department. But wait, there's actual proper racing as well? Radical, dude. This is by far the best game you can possibly play with a keyboard before it gets too simulated, and I can see that Wheel support is all there for you purists. This is the closest you'll get to Gran Turismo for the PC. Juiced had their chance and blew it, and EA better pull their finger out and get real. I pre-ordered almost two weeks ago, after playing this demo for less than two hours. I have now been playing for over 20 hours, and this is just the demo. It's just so much fun. Get it!
Start your engines

Great graphics, awesome sound and cool damage effects. The game is not that much of a simulation
feel to it but its fun to play and easy to pick up.
