i rekon this game was super awesome the whole crashing, rewinding, smoke effect and many other sorts of stuff and the drifting looks crazy im definetly buying this game :)

Uhm i never played Dirt sooooo, can you hook up your cars in this game like in Need for Speed or is it like Burnout Paradise where you can only get a new car and change colors?

nice game; the cars drive better than those "realistic" ones in GTA IV,

I honestly don't know what kind of racing games you guys have been playing but Grid is definitely horrible on physics, feel and even damage. The graphics are very good, but the driving is just so bad. You guys really ought to do yourselves a favor and try PGR or Forza for more realistic driving feel, or if you don't have a 360, GT5 Prologue. I mean even GT HD demo had far superior driving mechanics. Or if you're just into flat out arcade racers, I suppose Burnout Paradise or Sega Rally?

please ignore

GRID is a great game. Great online gaming too.

GRID is slightly identical to DirT so i love the loading screen and showing the grid line up.

GRID is not meant to be a competition to GT5:P

GT5:P has better realistic handling and looks. GRID is more of an arcade style game.

I might get GRID when it comes out.

I dissagree Grid is fucin great its a blast its pure bliss, the over the hood view gives the most realistic experiance in control/feel.

PS3 fans are going to love it, give it a go a few times you'll see(if honest).

Day one purchase, it was getting crazy praise online its getting mad hype.
They need to work on the coc-pit view the handling is too twitchy in that view/mode, the *over the hood view* gives a feel better than most games, almost perfect).

Its not like Dirt online, it is not *player time vs player time* online, the players cars are physically their with full visuals turned on with full damage amoung a host of other sheit just in the demo build.

The physics are being questioned in here the demo I downloaded was ACE" and more true, only losing to Forza 2 in physics.

(I spun out hitting a curb and when I made contact with the road after being lifted because of it; my front wheels were not lined up right and I ended up facing the opisite direction).

This game gets tagged with being Arcady yet its core driving experiance is more advanced and emmersive than any of the sims at its core(also has to do with what the devs are trying to bring with Grid and isn't the Sims faults).

I'm sorry nothing compares to the physics that gamers have to take into account playing GRID. The sense of danger in keep your car drivable is not matched.

The graphics look great, the physics look awful, even for an arcadey racer.

Personally I think the Codemasters driving games rank up there alongside PGR, GT, Forza and Burnout for fun.

They strike a great balance between realism and arcadey (leaning more towards arcade).

TOCA 2 on the Playstation is still one of my favourite race games, and the 'Race driver' series has been criminally overlooked.

Why does this course remind me of GTA IV. Game looks fun so i may pick it up since i love racing titles.

I would really like to see some other camera view.

Been playing Grid (360 demo)and first impressions were good. Good graphics, sound etc. But after a while i noticed that there was a real lack of feedback on the joypad when i hit cars as opposed to it rumbling like mad when i went over a rumble strip. It meant that i couldn't feel cars hitting me from behind until i was spinning out. Now while this isn't relevant i know to the PS3 users who don't have rumble it is annoying.
Also the cars have very little weight to them which means its difficult to judge how far your pushing you car.
As a pretty arcade racer its ok. The online seems to work well and it is fun to play.
But if you want a real racer choose Forza2 or GTP. I was a little disappointed once the graphics wore off.

I'm really digging the Grid demo on my 360. Allowing us to play the multiplayer is very cool.

Someone mentioned Sega Rally Revo, I think that game is awesome.
The graphics are beautiful, the colors and environments look amazing and the game is just plain fun to play.
In my opinion that game is VERY underappreciated and unfairly slammed by a lot of gamers.

LOL this game is a big dissapointment. Graphics are crap and handling is a joke. What do you expect its multiplatform (thanks crapbox 360)

I really liked DiRT so I'm definitively going to give this a try. Looks fun.

It's one of the worst racing game I've played

the replay thing was cool where u can go back and restart where u crashed, dirt plays/looks alot better this aint no GT5P beater, the handling of the cars are more like the need for speed games, 360 fans'll luv it

couldnt turn like that in gta4 thats for true

But why does it look so incredibly unrealistic. Is it really arcade like to play, because i was hoping for something a bit more realistic from codemasters. The graphics and presentation looks good, but it just doesn't look realistic enough for my liking.

It says the demo would'nt reflect how the full version would come-out, so hopefully they'll fix those problems - especially like in the Euro Touring Car Series where you get to race in the BMW 320Si which really slides a lot, almost like floating or riding on ice.
The EBay Muscle Cup in the Mustang GT-R was really fun and awesome to play, twitchy, bouncy and will truly keep you on your toes during the entire race.
Drifting the Nissan Sylvia in the International Trophy was hard as the track is quite difficult to race in., still enjoyable.

Great in-car view, good damage-mode system, a bit difficult A.I.

It's more arcade'y/slides a lot more than Colin McRae: DIRT - but same look/atmosphere ( I believe - just an honest opinion here )

everything from the graphics to the AI is Top Notch but the Controls ans physics are Bloody Awful myself coming from just completing GT5:P again find it like the controls are on Acid or something they react WAY to much even when i changed to the X button from the analog sticks it still felt it was just to twitchy i mean if they don't turn it down a bit or even have a sensitivity adjuster in the full game it will spoil what is other than that a Super game. i want to play it but it just feels impossible to play.

I have GTP and it might be pretty, but its also pretty boring. I played the Grid demo and had a freaking blast. Even my girlfriend liked it. The wrecks are wicked, and you have to actually be skilled to drive this "arcady" kinda gameplay. People are complaining about how bad the physics are, but I just think its cause you guys suck at playing this game.

You people wanna talk about how non-realistic the game is, but have you ever been inside of a real race car? These cars have over 500 hp, and you would have trouble racing them in real life cause faster cars are actually harder to drive. So if you think about it, this game is almost like a sim. The funny thing is that games like Forza and GTP make it easier for people who suck at racing games. Do you honestly think you could drive a viper at 170 mph and make an abrupt right turn without spinning? Give me a break, all of you people in these forums are a bunch of whiney little boys, and you need to take your momma's titty out your mouth.

I played it some last night and I thought it was pretty good. I like arcade racers more than realistic racers. The game looks great. I tried to get into a multiplayer game last night but the few that were going were all ready started and I didnt fell like waiting

Sorry but the Physics are WRONG as hell, maybe i'm too use to GT, but i didn't enjoy the physics. I may give it another try later.

if you like PGR4... you'll understand..
it's a getaway from all the simulation...
This goes hand in hand with burnout

Damn just played the demo, and this game is a must buy for me. I'm a big time car enthusiast and GRID is a dream racing game. Great graphics, great controls (for me), and they have D1 cars! AHHHHH!!!

I downloaded it and the physics sucks to me. It's ok if you want a arcadey racer but it's not for me. Definitely thought this was going to give GT5P a challenge and it comes nowhere close. I'll pass.

The crowds and sideline details are awesome but im hoping the resolution doesn't suffer or Frame rate.
But the Drifting kills it abit and so do some of the stages that seem repetitive and small.Im hoping this game doesn't suffer from the cross-platform crap and wind up low res and not much but a last gen title that just benefits from more ram, and not from BLu-ray Cell or RSX!!
Lets try harder people and push the PS3!!

the graphics fine although more like Forza 2 than GT5P, the physics however, both Forza2 and GT5P in particular, trump this game. I tried using it with my G25 and it feels like I'm driving on ice. It is however only a demo, although I'm not holding much hope that it going to improve substantially (which is what require in order to make this it playable in my book). In the end, I'm disappointed. It looks like it's going to be GT5P until GT5 arrives.
