User Rating: 8.5 | GRID X360
Grid is a game with stunning graphics & physics that gives players who are not comfortable with the genre hours of fun. The graphics make you glad you have the next-gen console and pricey TV setup. I played this on a TV from the 90's and was stunned by the graphics. Grid introduces very revolutionary concepts to the stale racing genre. In Grid, a damning crash can be replayed and with the press of X, you can jump back in and try that turn (or whatever) again. The different regions (Europe, Japan, US) keep game play varied for some time. Another plus is the physics of the game. In Grid turns are not impossible to navigate as they are in many other racing games. The team feature is fun, hopefully in a Grid 2 it will be expanded on. The major let down in Grid, is the Le Mans race, which happens every few races. This marks the end of a season and is to me, a very boring race. E-Bay is how you can sell cars for profit and it just feels out of place. The voice acting is not the best and teammate commentaries are often repetitive. This game is fun, but it gets old. The different styles of racing all end up being similar as you unlock new licenses. This game is innovative, pretty to look at, and it delivers hours of good game play. The problems are few, but noticeable. I thought this game deserved an 8.5 because of poor voice acting, lack of true variety in the races, and the short seasons. This game has more good than bad. It is definitely worth a rent, and for big fans of the genre, a buy.
