As the all-new racing experience from Codemasters Studios, creators of Colin McRae: DiRT™, Race Driver: GRID is all about the race. Every moment from the adrenalin rush at the start lights to the elation at the chequered flag - the tension, pressure, noise, and action.

Featuring only the most powerful race cars - current 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.

With races crammed with action and incident, high-impact moments will come at you thick and fast, one right after another: engine blows, tyre blow outs, tight overtaking, accidents, opponent cars flipping, spinning, collisions with other cars and trackside objects.

From humble beginnings, earning a few thousand dollars a season, build a feared and respected racing team with a multi-million dollar income and complete at dramatic race locations and dominate a multi-disciplined world of racing.

In Europe, race prestige Marques, including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani, on the greatest official race circuits. Enter street competitions and race high-performance V8 muscle cars through iconic U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit. 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.

As the antithesis of the box-ticking, plodding single-player race game, Race Driver: GRID delivers a diverse career mode in a persistent world of racing that provides each player with a unique experience as their team writes itself into racing folklore.

THE REVIEWER
I thought I might not like this game as a fair amount was supposed to be devoted to drifting... but how wrong I was. The graphics are amazing; you actually feel as if you are racing and get a bit of a rush. You'll be angry when you can't win certain races but will get great satisfaction when you do. If you are lokking for a racing game on the ps3, whether it's for 1 or 2 or more players, there is even a 24 minute le mans race for fun. A game to get.

Chad Cox (BARCELONA,ESP.)
I love this racing game,i have been waiting for a good racer since being so disappointed with Gran turismo,Downloaded the free demo from online PS store payed it twice and decided i had to own this game,IT such good old fashioned good adrenaline filled fun,rarely a game generates intense excitement these days.Well this one does in bucket loads.

Buckle up and prepare to be ruffled!!! great fun,you wont regret it.

Excellent racing game. It's more arcadey than Gran Turismo, but I think everyone realises how pants that has been for the PS3!

The action comes thick and fast and after the initial learning curve the driving is easy to master. When the tracks and opponents get harder as the game goes on, this is where the real driving begins.

The online mode is great too, with loads of options to race people. As usual when you play online there are some people who take pleasure in ruining it but there are ways to deal with it.

A must buy for any racing fans.

Over the last few years we've seen a lot of driving games. Some good, some decent and a lot of terrible games. The constantly improving Burnout series, in my opinion, still heads this race to become the GTA of driving games whereas other series, such as Need for Speed has spiraled into a pit of cheap and more importantly boring gaming and the long awaited Gran Turismo 5 is still very much in the works and promises to be another un-realistic yet car filled game - basically the FIFA of this genre.

And now finally we arrive at Racedriver: GRID. This was the first PS3 game I played on my crappy TV and I was blown away. The graphics are outstanding, the detail on the cars is staggering and are matched by the pure, fast and realistic gameplay. After I had settled myself into racing I tried out GRID World - which is the career on GRID. You start of with a beautiful (although crappy) old Mustang and have to earn money before you can enter it into any serious racing, so you must drive for other teams and get your reputation up. Once this is done, the game really begins. Racing your Mustang and buying new cars gets you into different races such as drift, touring, F3 and muscle car racing. The variation is incredible. Eventually you must hire a team mate, customize your car and gain sponsors. You also must earn licenses by completing races to be able to advance - which is far less tedious than GT.

To conclude I believe this is the culmination of the great driving series. It has the variety and customization of NFS, it is as spectacular as Burnout and has the depth of GT but despite this it still feels like its own game.

10/10

i think it is so good. I think the game is so realistic because when you have a crash it is just like in real life. If you have a massive crash you can not couninue with the race. I think it is very good.
