Race Driver: GRID
Reviewer: allaboutgames.co.uk21 August 2008- Overall 9
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

Race Driver: GRID Review
Reviewer: PALGN24 June 2008- Overall 8
Codemasters has always produced really solid racing games, dating back to the days of TOCA and even more recently with the V8 Supercars titles. If Codemasters is behind a racing game, then it's a pretty safe bet that the game is a good title. Rather than update either of the aforementioned franchises for the next generation of consoles, Codemasters has developed Race Driver: GRID , which is a game that can be best descriped as a simulation and arcade hybrid racing game....

Race Driver: GRID
Reviewer: Chooky, MyPS324 September 2008- Overall 9
Ever since I purchased ‘TOCA Touring Cars’ on the original Playstation, Codemasters has had my attention in racing games. Recently I discovered that their newest game was due to come out and after playing the demo, knew I would not be disappointed and went ahead and purchased the game. Heres my look at it. In GRID, the action takes place on various tracks and locations around the world in Europe, Japan and the USA. Europe has the ‘Touring Car’ and ‘GT’ track... Read more

Great stuff
Reviewer: MrNicklebe from Brighton, LOVEFiLM28 September 2008- Overall 8
Offline is good fun, but the best laughs are on the multiplayer. If you aren't playing this online YOU'RE MISSING OUT! The online is an emotional rollercoaster somwhere between bite your nails off stress to bitter hatred of every other driver on the track. Great stuff! (being serious here) Best racer on PS3 until the full version of GT comes out. Read more

Race Driver Grid
Reviewer: Boomerang Video Game Rental Online14 July 2008- Overall 8
I really enjoyed this game, I played it on the basic level the whole way through because I'm not into hardcore racing games. I'd say this game is more arcadey than serious simulation but that's fine with me. I'd recommend this game to other casual car racing fans who want to be able to smash into other cars at corners and drive away in the lead! Read more

"Best of all"
Reviewer: CNET27 March 2009- Overall 8
on Mar 27, 2009 When I said about the graphics I meant image resolution. The tracks and cars are great, but the image is not as realistic as Grand turism, for example. Read more
