I started playing the game and it wasn't too hard. I have never been very good at these types of games but I found myself starting to master the different driving mechanics. Very soon I couldn't lose a race but that all changed when I started unlocking new licenses. Suddenly every opportunity the computer had to cheap shot me they would take advantage of it. from Amazon.com How can I begin explaining the experience I've had with this game? Well for starters, I've played and enjoyed 1980's Pole Position, 1990's Rage Racer and Gran turismo, 2000's GT3 & 4, Burnout Revenge and finally Forza Motorsport 2. Grid got the best of them all put into one smooth gorgeous looking game(almost movie like realism with the crash animation, cars and environments). from Amazon.com If you are looking for a more realistic racing game with more than the standard races, this is for you! The physics in this game are amazing, and I just love how you can do many different styles of racing as well. from Amazon.com infact, the game looks like its DESIGNED to spin you out on Dirt surface rather youv slid into it or not. i took some time out and actually tried to Drive Straight on the Dirt..and the car would either jerk to the Right or the Left regardless of how fast i was going. if there was a Race on Dirt..your car would Spin out all the way to the finish line. i doubt you would even finish. from Amazon.com Grid is like playing a racing simulator like Forza but with the intensity of a racing game like Need for speed. In the game you are part of a 2 man team, when u get a teammate later, and you try to beat each of the 51 events to race the best team in the game, Ravenwest. from Amazon.com In essence, a re-listing of the single player tournaments in the multiplayer lobby. Only certain cars (sometimes only a single car) are available for each tournament, and there's no track preview. In short - you can't race the tracks you want with the car you want. You have to pick a "tournament", hope that that it has the tracks you like, and then choose from an often VERY limited car set. from Amazon.com Racing games are tricky to rate... Some people like arcade style, while others prefer the ultra realism of a sim. Grid straddles the line between the two. It's much more forgiving than Forza, but much more responsive and technical that, say, Burnout. from Amazon.com Then you can fully and I do mean fully adjust them. You can even adjust the brake and the gas pedals separately to be more sensitive or less sensitive when using them. The force feed back also improves the driving immensely Cons: While playing online the childish drivers love (because there either bad at the game or just for kicks) to drive reverse on the track and smack into you. But you can put collision forward to avoid that. from Newegg.com But bought it again a few weeks later cause of the challange it gives. I would give Forza2 the best of the year, only cause I haven't tried Dirt yet. Grid is not for the high tempered people, you will break something. But if you give it a month or so of getting use to it, it's really fun. from Amazon.com We have had it for a few weeks now and they are on it constantly. When they are not in a racing mode, they try to total their cars and take one or two others out as well. They enjoy it and thus I have no hesitation in recommending this game for all players - all ages. MY Wife even tried it......now thats gotta say something. from Amazon.com
