Grid: a game for folks who like to drive into stuff...alot.
Let's get this outta the way...i fell for this game after my first online race where i came from last place to win, and got the "beat codies" achievement denoting i beat a developer first time out. eggcellent.
now that said i'm a forza fan. i'm all about customizations, and online auctions, and sim racing styles. i really didn't know what i was going to think of grid...and then i got my first 50x drift multiplier. this game is extremely exhiliarating. the races are intense, and will always have you on the edge of your seat. always, no exaggeration. codemasters intent to be ''all about the race, and the competition'' has worked brilliantly!
of course this is not to suggest that's where they put all their efforts, not at all. the game also happens to be ridiculously gorgeous. the cars look better than forza. i wasn't sure that could be done. the graphics are a bit stylized on their use of lighting and reflections, but they're awesome looking none the less.
the flashback mechanic, and the collision mechanics are jawdropping as well. busting a fender can dig into your tire wear and drag your wheel to the left. as just an example this is the depth of realism that only adds to your edge of the seat feeling.
GRID is definitely worth your time. even if your a sim fanatic, it's nigh impossible to deny the adrenaline appeal of codemasters latest offering.
