Definitely one of the best racing games ever made. Not the most realistic one, no. But most fun? YES! Drifting is fun and overall the game delivers so much fun racing action that your heart will stop. One of the best racing games I've ever played. Sorry bad English.

Awesome arcade style racing. With the sponser and flashback parts, not to mention the feeling of being at the actual race....this one is a keeper. Maybe not a million cars like Turismo or true physics...but thats why its arcade style racing at its best.

Crazy intense racing with the perfect blend of simulated and arcade racing.

Good game overall but if you dont know how to drive learn because the game play is very realistic to real driving. i love the flashback feature

Not as many cars available to buy as on GT and less tweeking allowed, but visually it's as good as if not better in some regards with far more courses and it's certainly a hell of a lot more fun when actually racing. AI on other cars is streets ahead of GT - pressure the car in front enough and they'll make a mistake and possibly spin out - not to mention the damage physics or having 19 other opponents on track, who can have tyre blow outs and overheated engines go up in smoke and all the mayhem that entails. Three main arenas: Europe, USA and Japan, with plenty of races available in each. I really enjoyed Codemasters previous race games from the original Colin McRae and TOCA, but thought they ran out of steam somewhat on the PS2. But, first with Dirt and now with GRID, they're definitely back on track.… Expand

Superb racing game. Graphics, physics, AI and framerate are all great. Lack off story is the only negative thing about this game. When you crash your car and deside to replay the race, there is NO LOADING TIME! Aaaaah.

I own GT5-prologue as well as GRID. There's really no way to compare them as they're two completely different animals. GT is refined and 'processed' - GRID is sex on wheels. GT has far sharper and clearer graphics, while GRID has more of a dreamy/blurry feel. You can afford to take corners at a higher speed in GRID, but that's not to say its easy. It isn't. No spoonfeeding the controls like in NFS. It takes a while to get used to this. Pure adrenaline.… Expand

Well, im impressed of this game that is made by malaysian people (well this is the first game malay did it even i lived on malaysia) I look all the detail,...its like..a real imaginative game or something. But thats all i gonna say , this game truly amazing. Better than need for speed.

This is the racing game I have been waiting for. I am a big fan of TOCA racing and GRID delivers in every area. The graphics are incredible. Gameplay addictive once you master the controls. I bought Gran Turismo Prologue when it came out and was quite impressed. GRID blew it out of the water. Its now for sale on ebay!!! GRID is the BOSS!!!!!

Simply amazing, the best actual racing game ever IMO. Gran Turismo is the king of the time trials, but when it comes to racing, this rules the roost!

This is Codemasters best game in years. It absolutely delivers on all levels. It's a cross between a arcade and racing sim. The graphics are absolutely the best ever seen in a racing game. The game engine is second to none. The car damage is so cool looking, when you crash into a wall or flip the car you can see it all in glorious slow motion replay all you want as the car breaks and smashes... incredibly real looking. The game itself is spot on, the driving is very real to life feeling. And they focused on around 50 cars, the cream of the crop, so there's enough variety but you're always driving a wicked car. Bottom live, this game is FUN. Tons of fun and re playability. A MUST PURCHACE!! The PC Version is great too!… Expand

a huge letdown, the demo was excellent but the game never really specialized it self on anything and it where just plain boring after a few hours. graphics and physics are cool but not outstanding.

Great game. Don't waste your money on the partial release of Gran Tourismo. Buy a full game in GRID you will not be disappointed.

Grid does not blur the line between simulators and arcade racers, it is a pure arcade racer and does little more than arcade racers before it.

This is a great game. I would have given it an 8.5, if possible. The graphics are solid, although there's potential for a little more detail in some of the open courses. Gameplay is very smooth with no noticeable glitches. Online play is a blast, especially drift battles, F1 racing, and demolition derby. I think this is the best racing game currently on the market and has the potential to hold that title for a while.… Expand

The graphical presentation is wonderful. The ammount of types of races is nice also...i especially enjoyed the destruction derby match. However my complaint here is the difficulty. I've never ban a fan of any of the gran turismo titles because of the controls in that game. If i can drive better in real life (and i drive like a race car driver) than i can in a racing game...i don';t want to play it. I've enjoyed Need for Speed Underground and most wanted thoroughly though it's more of an arcade play control. With all this said, i found the drifting not as easy to maneuver in GRID as i did in Underground which controlled more realistically even. Even with all the normal settings and all the balancing and traction control ON in GRID the game is still a challenge. What upsets me about the difficulty of this game is how just one slip up (knicking the grass or just barely misjudging a curve or getting bumped into an opponent just slightly) can usher you into last place in a hurry, no sympathies. The only saving grace is the "Flashback" feature. but i often found myself needing more than the 4 provided during many given races. So bottom line is...the game is fun, but also quite frustrating at times. It also doesn't make me feel like anything i do is really important and i have no sense of pride in my vehicles. I wish there were deeper customization options...this is the next generation. you're supposed to top PS2 games in every way. Underground 2 had tons of customization items for your vehicles. Still a good game overall.… Expand

Very impressed overall great gameplay excellent graphics, online a laugh and single player mode well thought out with sponsorship etc very realistic best racer on ps3 in my opinion!

Good racing game. Savage difficulty is insanely hard with all assists off.

PLEASE show the user reviews for this already! there are 33 user votes in and no one can stinking read them!

It's driving fun, graphically better than anything else out at the moment, and at last the power of the PS3 comes shining through. Buy It!

The game can be enjoyable at times and it sure is pretty to look at. I especially love the new and improved replay system. However, the handling is truly awful and is passable only with all assists activated which for all intents and purposes turns the game into a pretty decent arcade racer. The cars feel like hovercraft for there is no sensation of contact between tires and asphalt. The AI needs serious work, it's far too agressive, I liked the adjustable AI in ToCA Race Driver 3, something that should have been carried over. Races quickly devolve into death matches where kamikazee maneuvers and not proper technique is the key to success. The open wheel racing is especially bad which doesn't bode well for their upcoming F1 title. The graphic engine seems to be evolving nicely and everything zips along at a nice stutter-free clip, however the mirrored images are distractingly simplistic. I am of the opinion that if it doesn't look good it shouldn't be there. Some weather effects are also greatly needed. And I could have done without the drift events. Maybe I will grow to like them but I doubt it. I just can't take that sport seriously. Again Codemasters has given us a lot of content, unfortunately, it also comes with a lot of missed opportunities.… Expand

This game didn't appeal to me when I was playing the demo. The driving in this game really aggravated me when the cars oversteered in a turn. Hopefully the full game will be better than what I experienced in the demo.

Fantastic graphics and gameplay with so many stats - and great accidents!
