    This is a great game... online play (when you find someone) is great. just wish it had local multiplayer (split-screen)... that would had make me give it a 9, because it's just sad that I can't play it against friends visiting. but otherwise... very much worth the 800 ms points.

    Gripshift is an amazing game, but the 360 arcade version is not as good as the original PSP version. The controls feel a bit looser. I am biased because I have played the PSP version, but if you haven't played it, by all means buy the arcade version, it's well worth the MS points.

  1. So, is GripShift the end all be all of combat racing on the Xbox 360? Not by a long shot. However, the game definitely stands out in its genre and makes it a lot of fun to get behind the wheel to put the pedal to the metal—and has a price tag of only 800 Microsoft Points (or about $10).

    GripShift includes a ton of new tracks and a brand-new deathmatch mode--which lets you face off against your pals on Xbox Live--but this game isn't worth the points. [Jan 2008, p.65]

    Some will be able to take it for what it is, but I need some sort of glue to hold my games together, some sort of over-arching point as to why I’m playing them, sadly GripShift doesn’t have any of that.
