StasSAug 22, 2009I love racing games that's the only reason I give it 1 instead of 0. The game is simply impossible even if you have a racing wheel. Even on the basic difficulty. Don't buy it. That's my advice.

PaulJ.Jun 12, 2008I don't know what they were thinking. No car on Earth reacts the way these cars do. Cars will spin out at the slightest provocation and no matter what speed they were going. Since when do cars go into unending donuts when they drive over grass? Very frustrating game.

MaxAnonJul 7, 2008Last night i bought this reading the reviews i was looking forward to this so much then i played it. Oh god what a living hell. Its hard to control and grass is deadly flashback is nice but you cant see the whole race and being on a pc with no controller i simply cant rotate

MaxiKJan 4, 2010Frustrating AI, always starting from behind (7-12 position) and you need to battle to get through. Even when you're doing well there will be a crash just in front of you which will smash your car and push you back till the end. Apart from this ridiculous idea and AI game is not bad, but it just kills it.

JohnD.May 30, 2008Terrible, simply terrible... If you want to watch pretty graphics flash past as you attempt to navigate your bed on wheels then go right ahead.. do the developers even know what a car is ?

ChaseM.Jun 22, 2008Utterly unrealistic, trying to be too many things at once, awful.

Jan 4, 2012To keep it short: Cars have no weight whatsoever, which doesn't allow you to "feel" the power under your butt (turned all driving assists off and pro-mode on). If you lose it's because you didn't dare to go through that sharp left corner with 150 mp/h.

chadJul 12, 2009The controls for the cars are horrible. I'm using an Xbox360 controller, which is about all that is supported by the game. Spent 14.99 for this game on steam and feel like I was ripped off. Grahpics are good, but the cars just don't handle right. How the hell did this game get such good reviews?

Aug 1, 2011This game has so much potential but falls way short. This is the most ridiculous racing game ever. It is almost impossible to keep your car on the track and it doesn't help that the AI drivers just drive over you if you are in their way. They only good thing about this game is the graphics. I really wanted to like this game but it just makes me want to throw my controller through the monitor.

RacerD.Jun 3, 2008If you like arcade its a 10. If you wanna drive a real car, pass on this title. The rewind feature is neat I must add.

TarunB.Jan 7, 2009Amazing graphics and Original flashback concept. But i gave this a bad rating because, it is almost impossible to play... very tough to master the controls.. I guess it is easier to go and drive on the race track than this game. Second, this game is incompatible with almost all gamepads out there except the xbox360 controller.

LucaC.Jul 1, 2008Grid is like a top fashion model without soul . Driving means to feel your car. Where is the car's phisic? Bah... Good looking graphic... like a beatiful saker cake.... but without any taste.

Aug 20, 2013If one game with all details turn on minimum can't stay at 30 fps with an HD5870, I'll not waste my time.
What a shame for a such good gameplay ruined by design choises. -

Jul 15, 2013I don't understand how this game got this good score. Game looks nice of course, but the gameplay is awful. Especially on PC.
And this game has no support for my DFGT-wheel. The wheel works if you manually set everything but FFB still refuses to work. -

Race Driver: GRID is tearing up the tarmac this summer without a challenger in site.

While the game's focus is clearly on driving, managing sponsors right will double or triple the income of winning an event and is a fun minigame on its own; making lots of money is crucial to entering higher-level, ultra-costly racing series.

Codemasters' racing studio know what they're doing and have again got the key elements right.
