Unlock all bous car's , get the DLC's and Google is your friend for an Ultra High Graphic Mode.

It should have ended here, the first GRID is the only one worth it's money.

8/10
GRID is a racing game that did not let you drive like crazy and crashing all the stuff in your way (just like in Need For Speed) nor it is too realistic to give you penalty for driving through the grass or disqualified you for just losing a front bumper (like in F1) . So this game has a nice balance between realism and arcade, that is what makes this game is enjoyable and fun for casual gamers and racing enthusiast alike. This game also welcomed newbie or pro racing gamer. For newbie you can turn on all the driving assist in the game so the driving will be more simple and easy to learn, or if you feel like racing game is your everyday life you can turn off all the driving assist for more complex driving and customize the driving options so the car will perform like what you expect.

As for the graphics, although this is an old game (realeased in 2007) the graphics of this game is still feel good and comparable to current game graphics. The best thing about the graphics is the car crash effect, it looks so realistic !! see it for yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH2KUrNow7s

But for me, the best thing about this game is that all race events in the game are based on actual official racing event, from the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans to the brutal American Demolition Derby (so don't expect any ilegal street racing in this game! ).

Graphically this is one of the most realistic car racing simulation games I've ever played aside from Sony's Gran Turismo series. There are lots of disciplines of racing to work with and lots of practice modes to brush up on your skills to become a racing master. My roommate is from Long Beach and when I showed him the Long Beach track on GRID, he remembers all the memories of where he worked and where his former apartment was etc, so if he can remember all these things I say the developers paid close attention to detail when designing these tracks. I use an XBOX 360 Controller to play the game so your experience may differ. If your looking for a racing experience that is different from the rest, try this game for sure. Just be sure to use the practice modes (Race Day) before taking on the story mode.

Forget about driving in NFS and Irl.
Whenever you start driving in GRID, you'll realize how much you suck at driving.
Your driver skills are NONE.

Also, you'll die of a terrible crash.

10/10

+Fun arcady simulation
+No abs braking
+ Team management system
-Ugly yellow tint on everything

Its just a fun game. Not too serious but not too lax.

It's refreshing not having the option to enable abs braking. It adds an extra level of difficulty, knowing slamming on the brakes too hard will lock up your tires and render your steering input useless.

You get to create a paint scheme for your team, choose sponsors that reward you for winning, and hire a team mate. Its all stuff you really don't see anywhere. It really sets this game apart.

UGLY YELLOW TINT EVERYWHERE. I don't know why codemasters thought it was a good idea to make everything in the game look yellow from the sun.

im Not a fan of racing games . (im very ultra extremely picky about everything sometimes)

I ONLY drive the Nissan Skyline in this game .

big fan of "Initial D" and Mount Akina . just for that this game is a must buy !

100/100 worth every ¢ent . I got more than what I expected .

this game is excellent . especially if you have driving equipment for the PC . ( can also be played with just a keyboard )

each run is Truly-Unique because you can take corners all sorts of different ways . or make a mistake where you didn't before ANYTHING Can happen ! this game requires the upkeep-of-focus & concentration .

you can really "feel" everything and become one with the car .

from the pull of gravity at high speeds , with manual transmission the clutch , shifting up and down perfectly to the topography of the tracks to maintain Top-Speed , timing-the-braking , knowing when to let off the gas-pedal all while paying attention to the road and trying not to force RPM's is enough of a challenge . Especially in the trecharous mountains of Japan .

This is a great training / practice platform . for beginners , aspiring racers & experienced drivers .

( I drive with my entire Hud-Disabled , Map, Position and Time-Clock disabled for a true to life experience ) Never a dull moment in this game .

so what are you waiting for ? Don't second guess yourself ! Buy this game ! .

" I don't drift for show , I drift for speed . " - Champion Sadali

Released in 2008
Still holding as the best racing game ever made.

By far one of the best racing games. By no means a simulation, its provided me with hours of fun. Drifting is a blast (although tricky sometimes) and demolition derbies are just glorious carnage. There is enough track diversity that they never get old, but they still feel familiar.

My only complaint is that it can feel like a grind getting podium finishes to rank up/

The drifting mode alone was enough to keep me playing for almost 24 hours! Its a blast with friends and the campaign is incredibly fun too!!!

This is an amazing game. Great cars, tracks etc. One of the best racing games out there I've seen.

Race Driver: GRID is quite likely the last wholly enjoyable experience offered by a Codemasters title on PC. There's not really anything bad to say about it. Cars handle nicely, there's a fun variety of events (Drift and Togue in particular have eaten up a lot of my time), and the head-to-head battles with other Racing teams have some surprisingly excellent music. It plays well, sounds great, and looks very pretty. Highly recommended to just about anyone.

Great game. If you enjoy a racing simulation this will keep you entertained for hous on end. Driving is simple and very easy and quite honestly the games heaps of fun. Maybe it's just me but my favorite part are the midnight touges intense fun and much like fast and furious tokyo drift. i think the drifting on the game has a bit of a learning curve to it but it's not that bad but that might just be me. Buy the game, you wouldn't regret it.

Best Racing game ever.
better than NFS DIRT (but I love dirt2) and ...... yes GRID2
GRID > GRID2

Pretty fun, fun, addictive, and has a great sense of speed. If your new to the GRID franchise or racing games in general, pick this one up over GRID 2 and Autosport as this game is LEAPS ahead of those two games.

by far the best grid.

A racer with a really nice balance between arcade and realism, and quite a large variety of motorsports; open-wheel formula racing, Tōge, drifting, even a demolition derby and a (truncated) version of 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Still one of the best racing games released in the past 5 years or so.

NATHAN MCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE

CM's best game to date by far. Yes, it's an arcade racer, so the multiplayer experience suffers because of it, but it more than makes up for that with its impeccable career mode. The progression is fluid and natural, the game (with one VERY notable exception in the form of Le Mans) never gets old and the pacing is just right. It has genuine difficulty, aided by an AI that's WAY ahead of its time.

Ravenwest bring all the flair and excitement that you'd expect from an honorable "designated #1 enemy" team, and they're hugely hyped all throughout the game. Knowing how other games would treat something like this, you'd normally expect the races against them to be disappointing simply because they wouldn't be able to live up to the hype.

And yet, with some exceptions, CM managed to get it right. Nathan McKane and Rick Scott are fantastic bosses to go up against. The atmospheric value of the Shibuya drift duel with Rick Scott is unfathomably high, while the Viper vs Viper duel with TOCA legend Nathan McKane combines hype, thrill and extreme difficulty into one hell of an exhilarating package.

And then there's the soundtrack. Good lord, the soundtrack.



One of the best racing games of all time. Possibly even one of the outright best games of all time. Nothing short of fantastic even 6 years after its release. Just make sure you remove the ugly yellow filter.

Highly recommend it. A true classic. Play it while you still have the chance.

One of the best track based racing games I've played so far. It's the perfect blend of arcade and realistic to allow anyone who is interested in racing games regardless of your skill level to play. It's also very good looking for a game from 2008 with a detailed interior view with working mirrors. Decent selection of cars to collect with a bunch more to get with some modding to get the DLC in the game. The only let down is that the multiplayer is long gone now with only the LAN option available to play. I would recommend anyone that likes or is interested in racing games to pick this great game up. On sales it's usually £2.50 which is a bargain. 9/10

The first and also the best Grid game! It has a detailed cockpit view, unlike Grid Autosport... The graphics are pretty good for a 2008 game.
I still play it regularly even though it's 6 years old by now. The SP is great (I spent around 25-30 hours to complete the SP), this game is definately worth it's money!

Pro's:
- Detailed cockpit view
- Single Player
- Graphics
- Physics (mix between arcade and realism)
- Damage model
- LAN play via Hamachi

Cons:
- Online does not work anymore
