Grid For The PS3 Game Review

June 6th, 2008

Grid is available for the PS3 from Codemasters at a price of $59.99. It is in one sense a continuation of the Race Driver series from Codemasters. With emphasis on racing and traveling the world as a perk this is a game that is not to be missed by car racing junkies.

There are many racing disciplines and international venues for this game. As you don the shoes of an ace racing driver in career mode, you also freelance as a driver, get to negotiate contracts and create your own team.

The 12 player online mode is a highlight of this game. The weather is non adjustable and there is no split screen multiplayer, but the freshness of this game hands it a thumbs up from most racing genre enthusiasts. With racing split across Japan, the US and Europe, you get to race in different cars in every location.

In Grid World mode, you try to earn money to buy new vehicles. I would describe Grid as similar to arcade games rather than sims. With good controls you get to enjoy the edge of the seat maneouvers. The racing disciplines include standard GT, demolition derby and winding Japanese circuits.

The visuals in Grid are impressive and the pace is frantic. The only issue is the audio which could be better. This is one racing game that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Recommended.
