    Another game that could have been awesome but is just average. The tracks are very short and the puzzle elements just slows down the action and makes it boring. I am all in favor of experimenting with new gameplay ideas but when it doest work it just doest work. They should have figured this out and make it more action oriented before release it. 20 secs long races wich slow moving Another game that could have been awesome but is just average.

They should have figured this out and make it more action oriented before release it. 20 secs long races wich slow moving platforms... fun for about 3 or 4 hours. The music is very good and so are the graphics. Playing it you get a sense of how great if could have been especially in the 1 on 1 races that involve no puzzles and very little platform jumping. The track editor is a nice touch as i can make courses that are nore puzzle oriented and more how i would have liked the game to be. Try before buying.… Expand

    It may be short but it is fun! It's trackmania crossed with Mario kart! Who can go wrong with that. Making your own tracks can be fun aswell but be carefull of falling off edges.

    In terms of addictive qualities, it's certainly no "Lumines." But it is a surprisingly solid game. [Oct 2005, p.108]

    If Dr. Frankenstein made a game, he'd probably patch together something like this self-proclaimed puzzle/platform/driving/actioner. [Oct 2005, p.122]

    While GripShift does in fact offer varied, unique and entertaining gameplay, it feels like these genres never really gel together as well as they should. Still, it’s fun once you get used to the idea.
