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.

I have heard this is quite a good game - but if you run WinXP64 Pro you almost certainly won't be able to play it. Although there is a patch and also there are forums which have some ideas how to get the game to actually LAUNCH it would seem that CODEMASTERS themselves are clueless how to fix this properly and the 2nd patch is a long time coming..... I will wait and scan the forums (for the next year or so??) until it gets fixed then buy the game when it is on sale for about a tenner :P Until then Vista64 users who check the forum posts might be ok and get it working but in my experience this game does not work at all on XP64 Pro. Gave 3 stars since it is fun once it's working - apparently ! Poor form CODEMUNCHERS :P

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Good game Good fun

Worth a look. Solo play is addictive and Online multiplay is great fun.
My only gripe is the car control, which i find unrealistic whilst on kerbs and grass. Ignore this and you have a great game worthy of spending hours playing.
