    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

    The most fleshed out XBLA game for a while. Give the demo a good try and then see which review you agree with. Working your way up the leaderboards will lose you hours of your life.

    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.

    "isn't worth the points"??!?!!?! I imagine OXM would much rather shell out $60 for Halo 2.5 than $10 for a truly original game like GripShift. If you're looking for something completely different, give this game a try. It has more replay value and fun than most games 6x its price.

    So, is GripShift the end all be all of combat racing on the Xbox 360? Not by a long shot. However, the game definitely stands out in its genre and makes it a lot of fun to get behind the wheel to put the pedal to the metal—and has a price tag of only 800 Microsoft Points (or about $10).

    GripShift includes a ton of new tracks and a brand-new deathmatch mode--which lets you face off against your pals on Xbox Live--but this game isn't worth the points. [Jan 2008, p.65]

    Some will be able to take it for what it is, but I need some sort of glue to hold my games together, some sort of over-arching point as to why I’m playing them, sadly GripShift doesn’t have any of that.
