Race Driver: Grid is all about the race - that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.

Grid will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars - new and classic, circuit and drift - players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races.

In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. - including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events - play hosts to diverse street races. In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads.

Graphically this game is spot on. The cars look stunning, the scenery looks stunning and it all moves at fantastic pace to give a real impression of speed, and there are no graphical errors or break that I can see.

The PC version has greater resolution assuming you graphics card can handle it. I have tried it on 6800gt 256mb and it runs well in 1040 res. But on my 8800gt 512mb it runs brilliantly at 1680 res.

If you have a 360 controller, the game plays exactly the same as the 360 version.

My copy for the PC cost a tenna from playtrade , which is really great value.

Having played the 3 main versions on both consoles and PC, I can confirm they are all the same. With the pc being slightly better looking.

A great game, that is a must for the PC.

I buy games fairly often, this is by far one of the best I have bought at the price of 10 quid. I have never written a review before, that shows how good I think it is.
Had to know the graphic detail down 1 level as it was being a bit jumpy, but it is still brilliant and addictive!
