  • I think the driving characteristics are really good actually. This is my favorite racing game so far.

  • This game is good. If you are looking for a hardcore sim, this is not it, but it's a fun game. I enjoyed creating my own team and choosing the sponsors, liveries, team mate, etc. I don't like that brown atmosphere this game has, but if you are on PC, you can easily change that with a mod.

  • @alsonaopdorp grid 2 when it's out. Or dirt 2. Dirt 3 looks and feel great but I just don't find it fun in anyway.

  • boring

  • Is dirt 3 more sim like than grid? 

  • what more fun: dirt 3 or grid?

  • @aldovanopdorp dirt 3

  • @aldovanopdorp GRID all the way.

  • or get it on steam right now for $5 :)

  • 53 dislikes? this is on of the best reviews ive ever seen...

  • codemasters 1 arcade game.

  • £3 on steam right now

  • Buttkicker??

  • Can someone help me? when i play grid on pc every time i start a race day race or career it shuts down my pc i use windows 7 can someone help?

  • i cant connect the internet of this game. i dont know why, help me?

    answear it if u got a tip

  • awesome game really

  • yeah real graphics!

  • this game is the best if you what download you guys will like

  • grid i the best game i got mine for 23.00 it the best i got 31 cars i have 26,00,999 in the game if you do not have i say you must get this game

  • in multiplayer, you need to go to Custom Search to find the fullest rooms, Quick Search is useless.

  • Le Mans is a bitch in this one!

  • GRID is the best racing game I've played that got the best damage system, but it's waaaaay too short. Hope they make a GRID 2...

  • Is this game worth to download? I realy liked dirt 2 and is this anything like it? I mean the drifting and shit?

  • @TheLegomasterdx Its better than shift 1and2, not a sim but is the best arcade track racing game out there. 900 degrees of steering and 6 speed shifter compatible. (no clutch on ps3 but i heard the pc has a mod 4 that). i got it on ps3 and its all i play with gt5. truly a top game!!

  • @TheLegomasterdx drifting is very hard on this game D: but still awesome!! :D

  • codemasters and EA should join to make the grid underground. open road on/off line cops and robbers fast and furious roll up and race style game. (cross between underground 2 and grid) WITH FULL CLUTCH AND SHIFTER COMPATIBILITY AND NO STEERING LAG!!. ALSO 900 DEGREES G27............!!

  • @taitoimpact

    Nononono Codemasters should not join together with EA. EA screwed up alot of good gaming companies, such as the previous owners of Command & Conquer... Now they're bankrupt and will never get back as a company again. Same thing happened with Pandemic Studios if I'm not wrong, the ones who made Mercenaries and Star Wars Battlefront.

    EA = Money Greedy bastards xD But NFS is pretty good...

  • and this video is sponsored by.... BUTKICKER!!

  • Anybody know if the downloadable content is available for the PC version? because I don't see it anywhere...

  • Still the BEST arcade racing sim IMO. =D

  • I get that pendulum effect too, but I've talked to other people with the game and they say it doesn't happen to them. Also, it doesn't happen if you use the keyboard. It's really annoying, anyone have any ideas?

  • I like the racing genera specific review! I really had fun with Grid though it really is a realistic looking arcade racer. You made a good point about the replays because I watched almost all of them while progressing through the career. It was a good time to unwind in between races.

    Have you reviewed Gran Turismo 5 and/or Shift 2?

  • this guy is a nerd. this game isnt even close to gt5 for sim

  • If you own this game for xbox 360 enter "M63209786" to have all cheats unlocked

  • If you own this game for xbox 360 enter "M63209786" to have all cheats unlocked

  • Buttkicker made me lol

  • i HATE the Le Mans in there

  • oldd

  • I like the part where it says ButtKicker!

  • retarded voice -_-

  • This game is good, I have it on my PC, will install it!

  • The lowest rate for Race driver GRID: 5/10

    HIGHEST RACE DRIVER GRID RATE: 10/10, I give it a 9/10 because controlling is nearly impossible, and at Graphics a 10/10, at Le Mans Multiplayer it's a day and Night Simulator. 

  • way way too hard even in basic mode one slip and your last another cheap £10 (should have knowed) game never to see the light of day, nfs gt certainly not this

  • beware, this game is soooo hard, i say that not to challenge your skills but to save you the possiblity of stressing yourself out... 1 wheel on the grass you spin, your last place and you won't catch them, you might as well restart which means starting a championship or a multirace again highly fustrating think of it as a modern formula 1 sim. a very pure game for the elite and i do mean elite if all you want to do is race some nice cars for a few hours with some mates,try another game

  • how to record my gameplay?

  • yes..me to..need for speed also can't beat my excited and felling when playing GRID..it's so real..but can somebody teach me..how to record my gameplay??

    i want to get some comment about my driving..please somebody can show me the way..

  • It is possible to play of two players?

  • It is possible to play of two players?

  • I was a great fun of TOCA 2, so I'll definitely give this a try.

  • tell me if im wrong, but wtf, they said allmost the exakt same thing -.-

  • I think you guys are missing the point: GRID isn't intended to be a full-on racing sim, it's a game. The vehicles in F-Zero don't handle realistically (hell, they're not even real), but it still manages to be a ton of fun. Just because it features real cars doesn't mean it is going to be a full on sim.

  • great graphics but the car control is very unrealistic

  • @zhogas well tell me if im wrong but i think they just copied them from dirt

  • I LOVED GRiD when I bought it...an amazing racing game...

  • Grid-Gameplay (720p HD) Maximum Settings : /watch?v=mUfFL66q3gk 

  • I fell in love with this game <3

  • nice review :) loved that game

  • worst game to play with wheel

  • In my opinion this is the best racing game ever, why you ask

    Well the graphics are stunning, the car damaging system is the best, sound is amazing and the controls and the driving experience are amazing and realistic.

    GT5 graphics are crapy but very good game TF3 they could do better with the graphics and finally NFS shift is the worst racing game ever the way the car goes into corner is freaking retarded and it took me 9 hours to figure out how to let the stupid computer stop braking for me.

  • "racing was inverted as soon as the second car was finished" that's a great line.

  • This is best game (of its kind) ever made!

  • its $10 now...

  • @Moldychezevids dammit i was ripped $5.

  • PUT THIS CRASHES IN FORZA 4 PLEASE

  • PUT THIS CRASHES IN FORZA 4

  • The time will come when real driving sims will look like that and even better. I am patient =)

  • I found GRID way more entertaining playing it with a keyboard, than my wheel.

  • I found GRID way more entertaining playing it with a keyboard, than my DF GT.

  • The best racing game what I ever played! The cars are beautifull and amazing, and if the game should be have tuning mode, it maximaly should to beat NFS Shift or Pro Street... I love this game and I'm playing almost every day

  • Woah, the white and red cars are identical to mine... down to the sponsors. What are the chances of that?

  • shit game... unrealistic and u cant buy ur own car...i was dissapointed, as i played it the first time.

  • @19DaRiO95 u do buy ure own cars its just tht its later in the game like 4 races in

  • shit game... unrealistic and u cant buy ur own car...i was dissapointed, as i played it the first time

  • GRID isnt a sim lol..., also how can you say tha your favorite thing is when you slam into a wall and die, which is a physics effect, then give physics a 50 in the game? lol.

  • Get you buttkicker today!

  • wait... this wasn't released for nintendo!! or was it?

  • @BlowoverKing There's actually a version for the DS where you can buld your own tracks.

  • hahahaha I BOUGHT IT FOR $5 ON STEAM!!

  • lol i just got it for $28

  • Thanks for you review of Grid. I've been playing Need for Speed Shift and love the game, both games seem similar to each other with Grid having the edge. Did you guys ever compare the two?

  • screw PC xbox 360 all the way !

    Grid Trials.com  only for real dedicated racers of Grid.

  • I disagree when u run into a wall it feels like u have bent your axle or something and the car pulls to that side.

  • Must have PS3 game. Best race experiences and best best of best...

  • WOW thats a nerdy voice. No offence.

  • i have got a steering issue anyone can help me out plz?

    i think it's a great game but it would be much cooler without the steering being to sensitive.

    any help will be appreciated.

    TY :)

  • @tekirx you can go to options and turn it to 900 degree, but then it isnt sensitive enough..

  • I agree

  • Can u guys help me with something? What is the maximum amount of laps I can set in the open wheel category in race day mode?? Thanks

  • Seeing how this is a 2007 game and it runs on dx9 I think the physics deserve a better score than 50. When you crash it is very realistic. You can only take a hard crash if your on a low level.

  • FRID is definitely NOT a sim.

  • i got it for 5 bucks

  • What a noob, and what an annoying voice. This man should not be doing this job...

  • 5 bucks on steam right now.

  • can you drive only 2 or 3 laps?

  • can you only drive 2 or 3 laps?

  • can you only drive 2 or 3 laps, cuz i saw everywhere 2 or 3 laps

  • guys when you make videos in widescreen mode you need to make sure to set up the correct aspect ratio when rendering otherwise it will not be displayed correctly when playing full screen on a wide screen moniter (which i have a 16:9 moniter) make sure you have the right aspect ratio when rendering :-)

  • @evenios Thanks.. this is a very old vid of ours...

  • which steering wheel are you playing grid with?

  • my g27 on my PS3is way better dan a computer!

  • i miss the engine powerups in this game :S

  • Did you take the leather off the G25?

  • Couldn't get this to work with my xbox pad or my DFGT.

  • Couldn't get this to work with my xbox pad or my DFGT.

  • what should i get, grid or nfs shift

  • wtf buttkicker???

    Couldn't they think of a better name?

  • @14wasp hahahahahaha lol

  • A sexy womans voice...

  • Its no way as good as Need for Speed: Shift...But a lot of my friends like this game better than shift no idea why...

  • @kinesas101 i dont know man. i somewhow like this one better. though there r things that r made better in shift. i think theyre both good games with ups n downs. for instance the way u can adjust the setting of your car in nfs is pretty cool (havent seen anything like that in grid but im still at the beginning), on the other hand i just like grids career mode better.

  • Also, an Offical patch added support for 6-speed shifters.

  • I think your being Unfair about Multiplayer. The average race I run has 8-12 players, if you move with the crowd through the different series the numbers dont really drop.

  • you can remap controls but its verry akward and not intuitive

  • can u get insidesimracing in europe ?? I've seen almost all of your's videos here on YouTube, and they are fantastic !

  • you two idiots keep going on about the business manager's voice, it's quite annoying, either find girlfriends or get new presenters who are not as retarded as you two

  • What i really don't like about GRID is how much bloom and blur effects there are, there's so much of it, the game looks like an acid dream.

  • Nice review, one of the best i've seen on YouTube. Thats a pretty sweet gaming setup you got there, you should get a bigger monitor though. I picked up this game for $20 as well as NFS: Shift and i've only played the NFS once because of this game. Its great, lots of fun and has intense racing. The sound is awesome, one of those games where I like to turn off the music and crank up the surround sound. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves racing games as I do.

    I give it a 9.5/10.

  • yep. i got dis game for the pc nd replays after every race is really great

  • this game is awesome, and isn't a sim. ;-)

  • buttkicker hahaha

  • dudes forgot to mention, that for some reasons, most of the time you start your race at the end of the grid (for unknown reasons) and the most dangerous and fastest track have very poor track marks, so at the dark time of the race you arent sure where to go... Unless you got it for free don't buy it, waist of money!

  • i will give youa quick reveiw for the pc ready : SHIT dont buy it buy it for the xbox thts it

  • I couldn't care less if this isn't a sim. GRID is definitely one of the most fun, if not the most fun racing game I've played in a while. Reminds me of my days back then playing Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Sure, I enjoy buying tons of cars and all in GT and Forza. But in GRID, they just upped the immersion level by having someone talking to you and all while racing. It really feels like "you're in there", battling it out against brutal opponents (Ravenwest anyone?). It's pure excitement.

  • Agreed! I think the biggest problem today is too many approach racing games with the full expectations of a SIM. Games like GRID and NFS Shift are that "special" kind of arcade racer. They fall in between an arcade and SIM. I call games like GRID an NFS Shift (Arcasim Racers). They got KILLER graphics that without a doubt hang with SIM racers, and physics that are above your typical arcade racer. I found awesome user tweaks on line for the XBox wheel for GRID. Changed the whole gameplay!

  • Indeed. Sometimes you daren't breathe during some of the races. The one and only reason I bought a PS3 is Grid... And probably the best game created in my book. Sheer out & out entertainment.

  • @fire1202 oh yes, havent raced any hard opponents for a long time since Ravenwest versed me in my Zonda...

  • @fire1202

    Gran Turismo 5 is better than Grid. But Grid comes second.

  • @Kra7as I would totally get GT5 but it's not for PC ._.

    And GRID is $10 on the Steam holiday sales so yeys ^^

  • @Kra7as GT5 is very boring.GRID is excitement and challenging.U know what I mean?And I`ve played all racing games since 1998 - 2010,even consoles and no one`s like GRID.

  • @octavelu79 for you mate. Its boring for you. But for the GT fan base which is the biggest in the racing community there is no substitute for GT5. You gotta appreciate the game to love it. That goes for any game.

  • Can someone share or point me in the direction for user tweaks on the X-Box Racing Wheel for this game???? I cannot get my wheel dialed in. It's far too easy to over-steer when using the controller.., but I find over-steer is just as much a problem when using the wheel. I've tried to tweek the settings.., but I'm not having any luck..., HELP!

  • I do not think it is very difficult but depends on the skill of driving of each person.

  • im selling grid pc version which i bought but my computer died...lol so i bought a laptop...so im selling the game to anyone in uk.. message me and i will meet you somewhere and give me a good price or swap for a ps3 game

  • For me is one of the best games of cars in the world.

    Grid for me there is no better

  • Laughed so hard :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • i downloaded sony ps3 games on my PC for positively free. type in google "ps3 quick download" and is it the first link. What a womderful ps3 game site... All the latest games can be downloaded from the "ps3 quick download" website! just google "ps3quickdownload"

  • tons of cars??????????? theres only 45, is there any expansion pacl for it or something?

  • i only own this game on ps3, and there are more buyable cars on the ps store, so you probably can on xbox and pc too.

  • only 45 ?? How many do you have in your garage at home?

    Darin

  • @simracingtonight 100.hotwheels,lol.

  • @simracingtonight Yes but there's games like Gran Turismo and Forza 2-3 that have hundreds.

  • @simracingtonight woushh

  • @simracingtonight gran turismo has 1031 :P i love grid though :D

  • @simracingtonight Do u still have that wooden rig? i made one and finally got it stable (more than the some professional ones). I'm interested in how people improvise, i got a small foot stool with weights for the shifter and reconstructed old TV stand for the wheel. it wobbled and flexed all over the place till i put supports on its inner structure, now its solid. spent £250 on g27 and £250 on ps3, couldn't bring my self to spend on a rig aswell.

  • @ryguyrocker there are 2 expansion downloads from the PSN Store for around £8.99 and £6.99

  • GRID 2 coming ? also for pc?

  • is there a lot of upgrades for cars.

    is one of Chav games where you knock a car out the way and continue with no punishment.

    PC RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a fantastic game

  • I wish tht shaun would stop saying the girl is sexy! Its a freckin computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @M4cey not really, its a girl...

  • FUN factor and that's all it matters!

    Better physics on GRID 2 :)

  • All that effort by Codemasters and they couldn't even make sure the number one feature - physics - was good.

  • Did NFS Shift score better than this??

  • ps2 way bethe!

  • man, you guys are very professional! Love your test, great work!!

  • BUT KICKER :D ROFL

  • is needs to be in the 90's for the PS3 based on its the best racing game still out there and its almost a year n a half later

  • This game looks brilliant

  • Hot damn, that's a thorough review, very well done.

    I bought this game knowing it was going to be more arcade-y than sim-y and I'm not disappointed in it. You can pick it up from most online retailers for around 30 now if not less (I got mine from Newegg for 27).

    I say pick it up to add to the collection.

  • I'll have to say i'm not too much into simulators. I love the intensity like the guy said. Great Game

  • e mai tare ca shyft

  • how the hell could GRID be considered a sim? These guys are a joke!

  • The joke is when someone comments about a show without watching it.. See what we rate the physics and how we call it an arcade racer. Then come back and tell me we considered it a sim..

  • Probably because he didn't want to watch a 20 minute video on youtube...

  • I understand that, but the first chunk of the video it is referred to as a sim. "Career based sim", "Favorite effect ever in sim racing", "Now that you have heard alot about this sim".

    When I first picked up this game I could tell it was not a sim at all. I don't even know why Sim Racing should be reviewing a game that is not even a sim.

  • @simracingtonight

    yeah, people skip forward and miss the point, then they come out complainin with "epic fail" comments. instead of them i think the review is pretty good

  • that's weird...because I didnt watch a single replay....

  • Its the high-talker from Seinfeld!!!!

  • he has a bich voice

  • 20 mins never in my life :S!

  • women+money= u broke

  • physics : 90 !!!!!!!!!

  • 10 more like. The physics aren't even good for an arcade game.

  • iLXFill: 5

  • Grid isn't a sim you fucking idiot It was designed to be a arcade racer, GT5 is a sim forza is a sim GRID is not a sim it is a arcade racer!

  • Watch the show.. we say it's an arcade racer. Who's the idiot ? Matter of fact I say it's the best arcade racer of all time..

    Darin

  • I quote fenderusa "GRID ISNT A FUCKING SIM" to which you replied "Yes it is"

    Care to explain?
