  • There's no "real simulator" racing game, there's racing games all of kinds. And this in a way it's "realistic" due to the crashes it has.

  • Love this game

  • 3.5 euro on steam :D

    Im downloading now :D

  • Does crashing reduce the performance of the car?

  • @lamshank45 Hell yeah it does, there was a guy today playing the demo online with me on Xbox LIVE and when he crashed, his front left wheel would not function properly because of the crash.

    That was hilarious!

    This game is fucking awesome online!!! xD

  • @DBKaiFANSonGokuRises LOL must be one realistic car racing game and hard to play too because you too gotta be careful not to crash

  • @lamshank45 When they come in the same exact direction, there's that. Carefulness.

  • sounds good ima gat it, wow this review is alot better than all of ign's review combined

  • Steam sale right now!

    

  • stopped fucking playing this annoying shit why? the other fucking racers thats why! oh my fucking god! le mans race drive in first place suddenly while I have the fastest car in the class possible in front by miles suddenly everyone behind get a un imaginable speed boost at like the last minute! used up all my instants fucking prick nudges the back of my car and I fly out just before the end. I try to bash their cars as hard as possible I spin out and they stay still like a fucking brick wall!

  • Start of with a old banger??? moire like a classic musle

  • @TheJimmyo23 Yes u can. Change color, number and sponsor....

  • can u customize your car like change the colour and choose your own number??

    plz someone answer

  • This is definitely the best racing game I've ever played. Awesome graphics, awesome gameplay, very realistic crashes and damage, it's actually perfect. Go get it (even though the steam sale is over)

  • @MickehDaHuskeh where can i find this now?

  • @scoot24925 JB

  • @MickehDaHuskeh Steam sale is over, but the NCIX sale is just starting $18 CAD. :) I'll probably pick it up. (ncix sale is for ps3 only)

  • i just bought this game for 3 dollars on steam... MONEY WELL SPEND!!!! 8D

  • @animeboy247 im thinking of buying it too..is it good?

  • @11Firat58 yeah it's really good!!! HURRY UP AND BUY IT!!!! 8D (i'ts really good!)

  • Shittest driving game ever

    

  • I have never experienced a racing game that made me sweat as much as this one

  • hey guys,i have some bug in grid when i go to play in net its connecting 1sec but then it says connection problem?

  • @motoman194 I actually called them about that. They stopped supporting the online game play. Not sure why. Highly pissed.

  • This is indeed the best racing game ever. Even the main menu tune breathes motor sport.

  • Jesus this voice is annoying

  • To all the player out there, IS this game worth buying and why?

  • @Zero02Blitz It's pretty much the best all round racing game. Reviewers praised it. I love it.

  • @Zero02Blitz DEFINETLY!!!

    i have this game since 2008 and i'll tell you... one of the best racing games out there.

    And i mean today too.

    And the online... i can say it. You'll have so much fun. You'll be laughing your ass of, for real.

    Buy it my friend. Buy it

  • This game was pure dog toffee.

  • to bad that servers shut down :(

  • @Createris is that why i cant play online?

  • @daroib yes

    

  • i like this game more than forza 3

  • grid is the most underrated racing game ever

  • It's fun, but if you have ever driven a car or even played an actual simulator then you'd know that the physics are really really crappy. Plus the AI seems to be retarded pretty often.

  • @masterknaster I can't agree more.

  • @FatAsHell69er Dude you got that right! I have never played a racing game so real and awesome in my life, the only thing that (I think) has a problem is some of the cars handling

  • I'd give it 11 out of 10 :)

  • I JUST TOOK A SHIT ON YOUR FACE MOTHERFUCKER!

  • shitiest game ever tehres no good race games anymore

  • To those who don't like the steering of this game...............clearly you're a novice

  • @dulfo678 any tips? i suck at steering at this game.. everytime i break and want to turn the car just turns 90 degrees

  • @michaelin0s I'm still downloading so i can't promise that this will work, but brake until you reach your desired turn speed and then turn. braking puts the weight on your front wheels and makes you spin more IRL so i'm guessing that that's what you're doing wrong.

  • @michaelin0s just feather the throttle ,because if you always press the throttle while braking the car will spin

  • @michaelin0s and counter steer ......just like drifting and if the car tries to spin let go of the throttle

  • @dulfo678 or they know what a real car feels like and are impressed by the crappy game physics...

  • ...thews olsow drift batolls whe you string togetha cambows for slaiding round conners saidweysss blaoblaoblao

  • Codemasters have best racing games

  • this game is awesome :D 

  • they should make grid 2!

  • @TheMaTaSS there is one coming in 2012 :-) i just had a look on a IGN site.

  • @TheMaTaSS they dont need to because it already demolishes most of its competition but they are, and im getting it. screw shift 2, GT5 is the muma but GRID is the daddy. 

  • the steering is F*CKED UP in this gameee who made thiss is f*cking stupidd f*ck this GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @trabzonludeli just cuz you cant drive doesnt mean you should hate on it

  • Nah, V8 Supercars Australia is the spiritual grandaddy haha :)

  • @MADMANx511 yeah but in every other country except australia, it was called toca

  • @aimre I know bro, I know :D

  • Only 8?

  • But, after learn how to race in a simulador, grid or any arcade racing game feels bad to me...

  • @brunoiwa its almost impossible to make a completely realistic game fun the only proper way to experience realism is going to a track day games are fun.

  • @IIZODIIAC

    Anyway, as a game is better, because you need to understand about real life physics to be a good driver

  • As an arcade racing game, Grid is fuckin awesome. It is very optimized, and the graphics are fuckin amazing.

  • can you up grade your car in this game??

  • Is this more or less the same game ""Toca race driver"" of the xbox1

    (codemasters) but ported over to ps3 and 360 called grid !!???

  • is the gameplay like Dirt2? because that sucks...

  • the best race game ever

  • 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

  • @mikeyp1974 even basic difficulty is insanely hard, if i had the days and weeks and months to finish this game maybe but i still doubt i'd get there and i'm good with racing games (dirt, all gt, nfs no problem) i think only the purest racer who can string PERFECT lap times/apex's together time and time again will appreciate this one. Yes don't make the game too easy but what were they thinking, now i know why the game was cheap. no one who works can afford to spend years completing it!!!!

  • @mikeyp1974

    agreed.....second my wheel hits grass/dirt/etc i hit esc and restart. hard as game but feels rewarding when you do win. watchin my team rank up slowly is awesome

  • Gt5 is the god of racing games!

  • @jazzykoenig gt5 sucks donkey balls

  • @athfuhshgh thanks that's true and i'm ps fan but gt5 had gone for shit

  • reverse time like prince of persia?? xD hahahahaha!

  • physics suck my salty balls ;D

  • very beautifully presented. got it off the replay cabinet for 9pound. Should have bought when it came it. such a good racing game. and im not a fan of racing.

  • well I got the game whit my new xbox 360.. but are the controls really that hard or just I have to practice ? (this is my firt racing game on the xbox )

    becouse I every time hit the wall or go down from the road and spin XD

  • I have to be honest!, this is the best racing game that i ever seen, is really competitive and hard to learn to play (extremely realist) , the graphics and the modelism are really awesome, this game kick three times the nfs franchise, just with this first version

  • I don't care what anyone thinks this is the best racing game ever!!!

  • @ps3boiy yeah dude i agree completely its so awsome its like you get lots of racing games in one and the style and graphics are awsome

  • @ps3boiy While I do like the game a lot, personally I like the MotorStorm series better.

  • @01kingmike Ya Motorstorm is also a great racing but I just prefer this.

  • @ps3boiy The graphics are great, but I found the handling of the cars to be unrealistic. GT5 is better, and I have yet to play Forza 3, but I'd imagine that's better as well.

  • @ps3boiy i agree i got gt5 but i STILL find myself playing grid a lot, its just too much fun.

  • @ps3boiy ummm gt5?

  • @MegaPrinnyDood ummm i like grid better its more fun than gt5. Just my opinion tho

  • @ps3boiy too right

  • @ps3boiy to many people online are dicks :/ or i would totally agree

  • @ps3boiy ever played Forza Motorsport 3?

  • @ps3boiy hi , whats your thoughts on need for speed shift . in my opinion need for speed shift 1 even thought its a track racer and not on "da street" on of the best track racers along side racedriver grid, i have them both and wouldn't sell them for the world

  • @MegaBYSON Ya shift is a very good racer too you should also try dirt 3 its like a rally upgrade for grid

  • @ps3boiy well i ve plat=yed dirt 3 and its very good but wrc 3 and 4 on ps2 are my fav, they just have a certain feel i cant resist

  • @MegaBYSON Oh ya ive played wrc 1 tis fairly good

  • THIS GAME IS SIIIICCKKKKK

  • A good game

  • This is BY FAR the worst driving game ive ever played. Driving in this game is like playing pinball. The cars are extremely hard to control. On the easiest difficulty the Le Mans Race at the end of each season is almost impossible to win and you need the money from it. One hit from another car will send you flying into a wall and its race over. Soo dumb. Fucking MONKEYS designed this game.

  • @rowolf2001 So are you saying in real life, that when a car hits you, you will keep going unchanged or moved? And the Le Mans is not hard if your a skilled racer :|

  • @rowolf2001 ...You ever bother to think that YOU might just suck at it?

  • @rowolf2001 ..you know that you can rewind after a crash and try the point again?.. How long you played that game?

  • @rowolf2001

    Keeps amateurs like you out. Precisely why it's so good.

  • @rowolf2001 Dude dont hate game i bet u just suck. how is the handling of the cars bad? what do u want them to hold ur hand and make it easy? and if u crash you can flashback. and why the hell do u come to a review for the game when u dont even like it. get a life troll.

  • omfg this voice is soooo uk ><

  • Some races even in normal are extremelly difficult. When those ravenwest badasses are in the race that is. By the way i strongly believe that if codemaster will release a grid 2 with more tracks, cars and some car set up (not tuning just setup) this game will be one of the best racing games ever

  • Lol one of the radio nick names is my actual name :D

  • cool

  • This game is extremely hard. It took me 3 hours to finish the first race. LOL...

  • @xFicozee

    try basic difficulity.

  • @Dokifreeman Well, It's ok now. I've gotten the 2nd Japanese license. XD.

  • @xFicozee Haha, really, What difficulty

  • @MindWarp95 Extreme

  • this game is also for pc!

  • This game is soooooooo fucking HARD to play

    It took me about 25 or more attempts to win the 2nd race, 15 of them the car crashed.

  • @JustFo2sH My dear it is a real driving simulation game not an arcade racing game like NFS U2, MW or carbon.

  • @mrcrazyenough007 Well it's not a simulation but its deffinitelly a very good arcade racer. In fact it's the game that made me believe arcade racing games doesn't have to be stupid. It's really good with a nice campaign. BTW codemasters please and that's an honest fan wish, put a split screen multiplayer on your next one

  • is there car customization like midnight LA or do u only get wats in store?

  • @MyOpinnion There is no customization.

  • @norra124 cuz the games got glitch

  • @MyOpinnion What do u mean :P

  • i like the story and the way the game goes on campaign. But i just can't stand the handling

  • Prince of persia lol

  • Japanesse super cars?

  • @TriggerHappyGamiing NSX counts as super car... All the other ones are imports...

  • @TriggerHappyGamiing honda nsx

  • @xsammymanx1

    Old post, but your video card is a bit tooo weak.

  • this moron didnt mean 8/10 he ment 10/10

  • will this work on my pc ??

    pentium 4  2.99GHz

    windows xp sp2

    1gb ram

    nvidia geforce 7200GS/7300SE 512mb

  • @acid9757 go to can you run it (google it)

    select race driver grid and see if those specs work

  • @xsammymanx1 lol dude it would even run soomthly with full graphics!!

  • dfd

  • Just got it for 10 dollar for ps3 and def the best racegame for ps3 out there. Ive played gt5 prologue and the gt5 demo but grid's driving handeling feels way better. Gt5 is a laugh.

  • @Erwinroossien That's because GT is more of a simulation. This is arcade. Your driving skills are a laugh.

  • That GEICO lizard gets around.

  • On sale on steam go go go!

  • i got this game for $20 and it was definetly a bargain

  • german cars are the best

  • this or shift urgent getting it today!

  • Japanese cars handle nice but they got no power, American cars handle like bucking broncos, they are fast as hell, but tough as nails to handle, only European cars are balanced and well engineered.

    I've never actually driven all three kinds but I've played racing sims before; I don't know if its European bias, or if the cars really are just better engineered.

  • european cars are the best, most high quality high end cars come from europe. America cant make shit for car

  • oh it can; America makes the world's most powerful engines!

    too bad you only get half a mile for the galon and they fall apart after a couple of drives.

  • in New York, even Jews drive German cars.

  • very nice; but I think I'll stick with burnout.

    I get my ass to Boise and my new apartment, I'm trading in 3 of my games for Burnout; The Ultimate Box if its available.

    I love racing games, my problem with sims though is that the European cars are too dominant.

  • its $80,000

  • best racing game ive played yet 10/10

  • does the pc version have achievements?

  • Get the game, its awesome

  • 8/10?????well this is the best racing game i have ever played, so i give 10*/10!!!!!

  • On a previous TOCA game, I loved the game until I found out that the opponent cars have a auto-catch-up style ability. There was no option to disable it. It ruined the game for me. this game looks great but I wont go near it with a barge-pole if it has that same auto-catch-up nonsense. Does anybody know if it has that? And if so, can you turn it off?

  • @TableWolfMusic I think it dosen't have it, but in hard difficulties and you crash opponents will obviously catch up to you

  • cheers

  • this is a really fantastic game. the public can certainly get a hold of the complete version for no charge. just google ps3bigskydownload and press 1st link. it's such a excellent and great game. live it up with!

  • @HermanAdamsl why tell us we know its fake/scam

  • can you customze cars in any way?

    or just unlock them?

  • @xTeamNeonx you can't customize them and only unlock them.

  • is this like nfs shift? i mean the way you control the cars? like they are hoover ships?

  • grid is the good mix of arcade and sim racing, while shift is the bad mix of arcade and sim racing.

  • this game has been sitting in my xbox for since it came out ,great game .

  • where the fun when you are bumped so many time by other cars and directly you re wrecked so many time ... i prefer gran turismo and nfs

  • The game rewards learning how to drive properly and control your car. That is why the instant replay is present: so you can see what you need to improve at certain points in a race.

  • whats the point of crashing so many god dm times and havving yer car run like a dreem, thats what i hate a bout gt and nfs, you can use teh otehr cars as bufers, you cant in this game

  • My opinion on this game is that it is Dirt 2 on tarmac.

  • Or...DiRT 2 is This game on...Dirt?

    This gme was released first, Lol.

  • Yeah lol just figured that haha!

  • no its way difrent

  • How? It's just different cars with different tracks and some more damage.

  • grid is much better than need for speed shift

  • @kicgofcallofduty very true

  • Need For Speed:shift or this?

  • @SlayerBriggzRc grid grid grid

  • i just got this game and i cant stop spinning out when i turn. Its so frustrating. everytime i want to turn, i end up doing a 180 degree turn and face the opposite direction.

  • yeah i just got mine too its annoying turn sweegh wrecked and so on

  • LOL british accent!!!!

    my earsss!!!!

  • midnight la club is quite good

  • did you guys tinks that a 3 year old kid can play this game if i have a son i will provoive to he to play this game this game will be E10+

  • instaling it right now i hope its kickass ^^

  • Best race game out there atm.

  • i have this game on steam and i must formate my pc, does anyone know if the profile will be deleted when i formate?

  • Great graphics but the physics are little too arcade. I like the game but I wish there was a "Simulation" mode for more realistic driving.
