    GripShift is one of the best XBLA racing games available. The game is just too damn varied, wacky, and all around fun to summarize it any other way, and the feature-packed content makes it well worth the 800 point price tag.

    Despite my complaints, GripShift isn't a bad game, it's just flawed in all the wrong places and at the end of the day, it's completely unremarkable.

    The puzzle sections are great fun, and could have been their own game. As it stands, however, the Race mode just doesn't cut it.

    OXM has really been going downhill lately with their reviews.... Or they have a review instead of a cover story, like their COD 4 issue... This game is friggin amazing! I found out about it first on PSP and at first was skeptical but once you get used to the controls, and focus on different (or multiple) goals each race, it is amazing! Super monkey ball with cars....but better. With all the new modes added and it being an arcade title (only 10 bucks) there should be no reason anyone (besides an OXM reviewer) would consider this not worth the points!… Expand

    For me, this is by far the best XBLA game I've played. There's a ridiculous # of fun single player levels, and you can see your world rank on each one. For multiplayer there's a mario kart clone, and death match. In all honesty, this 10$ game is more fun than nearly all full fledged 360 games.… Expand
