Great Game, Great Graphics, but not all around great.
User Rating: 8 | GRID PS3
Grid has great graphics and has generally fun gameplay. Difficulty levals seems off. On easy a new comer to racing games should be able to win most races with out a crash up derby after a few races and getting the hang of things, Grid unfortunately is not like that, I feel this type of thing keeps more people from playing games and Grid is not the only competition type game to suffer from this flaw. Trying to find a family member or a friend to play is impossible when they can get no success even on easiest levels, this is bad for the game and took a full point away from my review, add to that no training levels and you have another .5 knocked off. The final point I knock off is lack of fixing on cars or any real penalty for taking damage, almost every game you enter has several smash racers who make no attempt to race and just play demo derby as often as they can, even in the single player games you can win may levels just by smashing your way through with no real penalty at all which is fun in an arcade kind of way, just do not expect more from it than that.
I would highly recommend grid to those at least somewhat familiar with racing games, for begginers, you might want to look elsewhere or at least expect some frustration for awhile. It is an extremely fun game and best on PS3 I have played yet.
