If you love GRID, be sure to thank DiRT, as if it weren't for this, GRID wouldn't have been as good as it is today.
With that annoyance aside, the main menu is pretty dynamic and modern for starters. You can move the menu around with the right stick to see it from different angles.
The gameplay will take some getting used to. The learning curve is a bit steep. When you've unlocked most of the cars, you should then be alright to take it online against up to 100 people! The way they've achieved this is that technically, you're not racing each other. Everyone races the track on their own, and the times are tallied up at the end. Shame we don't have rallycross events online with multiplayer.
Forget about the flaws, and please play this game to honour the late great Colin McRae. It's more than worthy to bear the late great legend's name.
