   My opinion is, that is are most epic arcade racing game ever. Everything here is good: graphics, physics, controls and other stuff. A lot of cars, a lot of game types. Awesome!
   This is the best racing game ever!
   P.S. No one of the NFS's is even no close to this game by gameplay and joy.… Expand

   I will test the game with a steering wheel when I get mine back from a friend that is using it now. I hope that will provide even better control. Now I am playing the game with a (logitech) gamepad and it works great. You can play the game with non XBOX controllers but you need to replace an xml file to get your pad working properly. The game is a lot of fun (more then TOCA imo) and I have given it an 8 because it is fun, easy to play, all about racing and it has great looking graphics. I have to admit that I miss some things. Car set-up is not included and, allthough I am not someone that spends hours tuning all possible settings of a car, I would rather have seen it included. There are not so many cars that you can buy (45 I believe) and that feels limited when you're used to 500 cars or more in, for example, Gran Turismo. For me it's not a big issue as you usually will only drive a few of those 500 cars. You have to navigate through the menu's with the keyboard so the bad implementation of the gamepad is definitely a negative point (but it works great while racing). GRID is a great racing game that provides reasonably realistic car behavior that is not as hard and unforgiving for mistakes as simulation games (GTR) but much better then arcade racing games.… Expand

   I'm curious about the high press ratings thus far. The physics and handling will no doubt frustrate arcade racers with its finickiness, and completely disenfranchise any remaining TRD3 sim fans who will throw their hands up in disgust at the comical handling. Arcade, sim, whatever - you just shouldn't be able to take a 90 degree corner at 200 km/h! The 'kitchen sink' approach to different classes and races is all well and good for variety, but it rings even more of the 'jack of all trades' criticisms leveled at TRD3. The engine sounds are uninspired, force feedback is surprisingly limited given the range of feedback on offer in competitors titles, and the graphics (although beautiful at times) look remarkably unrealistic due to the amount of bloom and brown tinting. Codemasters don't seem to have taken on board criticism from DiRT racers in this regard. I'm disappointed with this release, which seems to stray even further down the marketing-driven path of all candy, no substance.… Expand

   Thought the gameplay was poor and not what I expected - very disappointed.
