Video Game Reviews of GRID
Customer Review: Awesome Racing Action
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is phenomenal. I enjoy the look, the feel, the whole career mode, everything. It's kind of arcade and sim like, similar to project gotham racing... which is my favorite racing series. Still, Grid ranks up there. Codemasters may not know how to make an action game, but they sure can make a racing one.Customer Review: I recommend GRID!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a game that is a realistic racer, stop looking around. Grid is your next game your going to buy for your PS3 system. From street racing to the demo derby arena, its all here with different racing regions, online racing with 2 to 12 players, and realistic high impact crash damage and sequences. If you want a racing game that's got bang for your buck, this is it! I recommend this game!Customer Review: good

The game need that we can practic or train in the circuits, before the competitionCustomer Review: Best Racing Game for the PS3
Summary: 5 Stars
Best racing game for the PS3 so far. Graphics are not on par with GT5, however they are fantastic, and the gameplay is spectacular. Menus are not that polished and the number of cars is not that much, but the ones that you get are really fun to drive. My order for PS3 driving games (just first two are sims):
1) Grid
2) GT5
3) Ridge Racer 7
4) Burnout Paradise
5) Need of Speed Carbon
My sugestion is, stick with these games, all others, including the other Need for Speeds and Midnight Club Los Angeles are very bad.
Customer Review: I put GRID up against ANY other racing game that I've played
Summary: 5 Stars
I love racing games but am not a huge fan of the realistic-type racing games (Gran Turismo, Forza, etc.). I read a lot of reviews of GRID before buying it and wasn't sure whether I would care for it or not. I am a big fan of the Burnout series. I am not a huge fan of the Need for Speed series because I am not really into cars that use spoilers as decoration and use blown-out mufflers to make them sound louder.
That being said, GRID is probably the best racing game I have ever played. I like the fact that you build your own racing team including designing your own "branding" for that team but you don't get bogged down with choosing decals and other countless inane customization options. The cars in GRID are actual cars (Corvette, Lamborghini, Aston-Martin, etc) as opposed to the Burnout cars that may be modelled after real cars but have silly names.
The racing in GRID is NOT realistic like Gran Turismo but it's more realistic than Burnout. You start the race with one car and if you bang up that car during a race, it can affect the performance of that car. You have several (usually 5) opportunities during a race to cue the instant replay and re-start just before you crashed so you don't have to completely avoid crashes altogether but you can't just bounce off of walls and other cars for the entire race like you can in Burnout, for example. Unlike the latest Burnout offering (Burnout Paradise), you CAN restart any race at any time. There are drifting events and head-to-head races as well as endurance events like the "24 hours at Le Mans" race.
As you progress with your racing team, you can add drivers to your team so that you have multiple entries in the same race. The tracks vary depending on whether you race in Europe, U.S. or Japan but you don't get bored racing the same track over and over again because they change the tracks for different races. Sometimes, you race in the opposite direction on a particular track and sometimes they add sections to a particular track. So, you don't get bored racing the same tracks all the time.
I found a lot of conflicting reviews before buying this game and was still not sure what I was going to get when I played it. That's why I have posted this review. Hopefully, it will clear up any confusion there might be about what kind of racing game GRID is for those of you who may be on-the-fence about purchasing it.
