GRID First Thoughts

Well I got the game this evening and I have to say its very impressive.
There are a lot of elements from previous Codemasters games. You can see hints of toca race driver and dirt mixed in together and the result is a very easy to use fun game.
In the career mode you start of as a hired driver until you have enough cash to pay for your own team. Once you get enough money you then start racing in your own team and get sponsers depending on how well you do.
Its great so far and well worth getting if you like racing.

I downloaded the Demo but im a bit dubious . I crashed at the start and for the rest of the race my car kept drifting to the left ! I can see me getting very angry if that kept happening. Handling seemed very light or something im not a racing game vet maybe il get Burnout instead.

Its a cool feature but i think i need something a little more forgiven It does add to the ''Restart race feeling'' you get from playing a good racer. The visuals and the game presentation looked top notch on the Demo. So much choice out there at the moment ,iv still 30% of GTA left and Ninja Gaiden 2 is on the way. Lost winds / final fantasy and i want to buy Mario Kart wii and MGS4 PS3 Pack ahhhhhh hows a man suposed to be able to save for a house with all this stuff !

"Crashed" "Drifting" ...and then there was "Burnout" ???

Well Jonas going by the demo ..this is probably easiest racing game I have played to date (unrealistic granted). Oh, I can hear the Sim kids screaming blue murder

I have to agree it is a cracking game. Much better than PGR4 (if not comparing apples with apples). It actually feels if the game have been designed for the steering wheel.

A sure thumbs up from me.. Tech you are missing all the fun

So your using the steering wheel: should I buy one? (Your Thoughts)...

Well I've ordered mine from "GamesNash" so I should have mine early next week ...hopefully.

We will have to get together and organise some gaming sessions (Time to stuck the beer)

P.S.

What is the layout like? regarding "tournaments" similar to Forza? ..Is there any?
