The inclusion of a day->night->day cycle is an interesting addition and makes for some fraught racing in the LeMans events (still not sure that the LeMans 24 minute has quite the same buzzing thrill as the LeMans 24 hour), but somewhat of a shame that there is no variable weather to go along with that after getting used to its presence in PGR4. This game re-introduced the fun of online racing for me, it looks great, can be blisterringly fast, and most of all it is enjoyable. The inclusion of damage is very welcome to weed out some of the muppets who like to do nothing but spend their time taking out other cars (this can be infuriating in PGR4 and GT5p) and just adds no end to the 'fun'. It is in the arena of multiplayer where this game really surpasses. The inclusion of a team mate is also an interesting connotation to be added to the game, certainly adds extra thought to how you manage the sponsors you accumulate as the game progresses. Actually impressed to see that cars are capable of rolling as well in the event of a very nasty disagreement over racing lines or a head to head with the scenery.Ĭareer progression is well judged and does not force you down paths you would not like to take. The driving models are more towards the arcade end of the spectrum than Forza 2 yet the game still manages to include some very impressive physics, Grid recognises that there is an effect to driving over a rumble strip for example and bounces you around on corners if you cut them up too much. The flashback/rollback feature is also surprisingly effective which really helps this game, people who think the lack of a damage model makes a game a joke are catered for (I fall in this camp) and people who do not like damage models because one mistake can write off a race are also catered for. The single player game is interesting and challenging (a hard combination to get right) as a racing game, you are spared some of the painful grind of games like GT5p and Forza 2 by virtue of the diversity of events and some very impressive AI. Graphically the game stands out over any other console racer, detail, customisation, and environment are all there with significant polish and aplomb to make this absolutely gorgeous to look at.

I was really unimpressed with the demo, but then on a (surprising) whim bought the full game. Sorry I have a real bee in my bonnet about those crazy grades. I was so very tempted to give this a 10 after being perturbed by the farcical and spoiling marks being given to GT5p, this game is certainly better than that title so should be at least a 10 then but it is not a 10 game (as most definately GT5p is not).
