   GRID is one of the best racing games this generation, perhaps one of the greatest of all time, and how? Because its simple. GRID is a simulation racer at its core, you build a career from the ground up, assemble a team to race on real world tracks in licensed cars across several different kinds of events such as Touring Cars, Drift, Formula 3 and Le Mans series. However what it does is it cuts away the fat of games like Gran Turismo and Forza but not including things such as car customisation and having a much smaller selection of cars to race in providing much closer competition between racers both online and in singleplayer as you are racing exactly the same machines, no-one has an advantage and everyone is as likely to win as each other meaning its pure driving skill that determines whether you win a race or crash and burn in the gravel at the edge of the track. Though GRID is massivley smaller in terms of content compared to GT or Forza it will easily last you a good 20 hours for the singleplayer and even longer for the infinitely re-playable online modes. You must get known, make a team and earn a pro licence in all 3 regions (US, Europe and Japan) not to mention collect all the cars and sponsors.
   GRID is the perfect simulation racing game for someone who is perhaps not the biggest fan of sitting in menu's fine tuning every single minor detail of their ride yet still provides a satisfying and exhilarating experience for those that do like depth in their racers.… Expand

   For an arcade game it's brilliant, it has got a great driving engine, it looks great on par with driving games of the same time period and I am especially impressed with the car damage. I has got a few glitches but none are game breaking. Great multiplayer experience, easy to learn hard to master like it should be.
   AI is not very good though, even on a high difficulty they drive like drunk grammas they break early and acceleratre late and worst of all they ignore the player. I shouldn't be complaining about the campaign mode on an arcade racing game but since they included one why not, it's so repetitive, in order to gain 100% completion you are going to grind season after season after season just to get your rating up, really annoying.
   Despite my lazy review I really enjoy playing this game and in the end of the day that is what counts.… Expand

   You've got cars, race tracks a plenty, beautiful graphics and a slick overall design? Do you have a winner? Not at all. GRID is supposed to be about driving, when the driving physics and feel are all way off. It's supposed to drive like a mix of arcade physics and simulation, and this is why GRID is such a mess. For the love of god, developers, stick to one style or the other, instead of half assing both and gluing them together.… Expand

   I so much want to enjoy this game but the number of spin outs at low speed is causing me to turn it off as soon as I turn it on. Even slight collisions cause me to ram head first into railings. Gorgeous graphics but frustrating as hell.… Expand
