    The game has a competent and long career mode detailed earlier, as well as the usual single race options. Unfortunately, as is now the trend on the current generation of consoles, there's no split-screen multiplayer, and I'll again say that this is especially disappointing for a genre which thrives on being able to compete with someone in the same room. There is, however, full online play for up to 12 players complete with damage, and plenty of people experienced on the... Read more

GRID is the return to racing games that we’ve been waiting for since the PS3′s launch: summing up why this particular genre can produce brilliance when the right developers are behind the wheel. From inserting the disk to finishing [...] Read more

    The game looks fantastic. Feels fantastic. Sounds fantastic. The game somehow manages to be difficult enough to keep the average virtual racer occupied for hours perfecting the skills needed to keep the assorted sportscars on the track. There have been driving sims this hard before, but none that i have played have combined blisteringly fast cars which have seemingly limitless power with the unforgiving physics and tracks of games such as the GT series or the colin Mcrae...
