GRID Review: Racing GotY?

JayCat | June 19, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

To whoever is doing a racing game as we speak, start taking notes. Codemasters are putting themselves on the map as very, very, very serious players in the racing genre for years to come. Race Driver GRID is an immersing, addictive, exhilarating, beautiful and fun racing experience you can’t afford to miss, the best so far. So to all the Forzas, Burnouts, GT’s and NFS out there…my advice would be to check your mirrors because it’s going to hurt.

In a world where the racing game genre is flooded with Burnouts, Need for Speeds, Forzas, PGR’s and Gran Turismos, one developer decided to deliver not only “another quality racing game” but took a path that no one industry wanted to do: taking a bit of all the racers out there, put them in a bowl. Only difference: they made it better by putting their own special ingredient: Balls.

I hated the demo (cars handled very slippery), so I'm not sure about GOTY.

_{LMAO very much doubt that. The demo wasn't anything great. Sad to say if the game is anything like the demo than Grid is going to fail.

GT5 is looking like a GOTY racing game.}
