Good game.. The visuals are good, but appears the graphic engine wasn't used as could be.

I've played the Demo First and some things surprised me, like the drive skills... It's the first time that I don't start the career without practise... It´s impossible you play this game without practise... Sometimes I think the car simulation is exaggerated. Drive a BMW and performs an easy turn at 60 Km/h is almost impossible, but how I never drove a BMW, I can't say if is true or not. =P

Like game rival, the HUD is very complete and "functional"... Yes, "functional", I love play with Honda Civic Si and surprised me a lot the HUD, very detailed.

Unfortunately, appears the graphic engine wasn't made for PC. I can run GRID at 1440x900 4xAA with every options set to Full or High without a graphic lag, but on the NFS Shift the same configuration cause me a lot of graphic lag. I'm talking about a AMD X2 6000+, 8GB DDR2 Cousair, Sapphire ATI HD 4850 512MB DDR3.

About others things, tracks are very good, but streets courses are missing. Game play is confuse in the begin, but I could understand while I play the game and you will see it a copy of GRID.

No more...
