We have just posted our review of Race Driver: Grid.

yamabushi · 06-12-2008, 04:08 PM

Im a huge TOCA fan (how about some BC M$?) and really lean to the sim side of things. But GRiD is a blast and a half. Ive barely touched GTA since I got it.

This is one of the best games I have ever played. Its no sim racer, but it is so much fun. The production value and the immersiveness of starting ranked 500th as a driver and working your way up through the seasons is classic. Hiring a teammate with their own attributes and working with him in a race is top notch. There are some things they may need to do differently, but that is what sequels are for.

Take it for what it is; a game and not a simulation study and you cannot lose.

Couldn't agree more. This game is bad ***. I haven't touched nba2k8 in almost a week and I would play that game religiously. I have mainly been online and it shines as well. Need to do the single player but online with this game is addicting.

Great review; I liked that you took it for what it is, and reviewed the game on its own terms, while clearly outlining what it is and isn't. That way, as a sim-only race gamer, I can honestly say the game wouldn't be for me even though I know it's a very good game for what it does. Nice job.

Nice quality review Terry. Been a while since I read one like that. I got this for my birthday, will probably try it out tomorrow.

That is a pretty dang good review. I agree, this game is not sim at all. I love the game but I can completely see where a sim driver wouldn't, especially in the online mode. People online slam into each other like crazy, but then you race the AI and realize the reason they do that is because that is the only way to win! I am really enjoying this game right now and am hoping it will hold me over until NCAA comes out.

Excellent review TC. I'm going to pick this up now after reading that.
