About this product
Product Information
Utilizing the full power of the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), GRID is a slick arcade racing game with realistic graphics, a clean in-game GUI, and a strong following among fans of the genre. GRIDd follows in the footsteps of its race driver predecessors in the TOCA Touring Car series, also from Codemasters, to focus on race driver skills over vehicles. It is the first of the series’ games for the PS3 (and Xbox 360). Race courses in GRID for the PS3 are grouped into three geographical zones including Europe, the USA, and Japan. Each of these zones offers specialist autosport styles. In Europe, the focus is squarely on track-based racing. Both the U.S. and Japan have street racing courses, with Japan having more of an underground street racing focus with short, winding tracks ideal for drifting. The vehicles also vary to suit the demands of these varying geographical zones, with Europe featuring touring and GT cars, the U.S. having muscle cars, and Japan offering highly modified Japanese makes like Nissan and Subaru. With the focus on the drivers though (so often overlooked in other autosport games), players in the game’s GRID World mode are tasked with increasing their reputation and earning money. As the game progresses and races are won, the player’s driver is rewarded with money and sponsorship bonuses as well as challenged with higher difficulty levels. While players are encouraged to spend their money on different vehicles, the emphasis is on replacing rather than upgrading cars, another divergence from other autosport games. Players can purchase brand new vehicles or get them secondhand from the in-game eBay Motors after taking care to inspect them for functionality. One of the most innovative gameplay features in GRID for the PS3 is the rewind function. End up in a head-on collision with another vehicle, and rather than having to duck out of the race, players can rewind time to an earlier point, before they made the critical mistake that led to the crash. Players can also rewind at other times, such as after a series of collisions and falling afoul of GRID’s sophisticated damage system. The rewind feature can be used a set number of times, depending on the difficulty level, with overuse being penalized by a reduced cash reward upon completion of the course. Codemasters worked hard on optimizing the game’s highly responsive controls for the PlayStation 3 though, so it’s easy to avoid overusing the rewind function. Players also have the option to enable traction, braking, and stability assistance. Another of GRID’s most celebrated features on the PlayStation 3 is its advanced AI, which varies competition between highly challenging, competitive rivals and more inept drivers to leave them far behind. All of the other drivers are capable of taking risks and making the same critical errors as the player, giving GRID a sense of realism. Also adding to the realism is the day and night cycle of the Le Mans 24 Hour Race, which can be run through in 24 minutes in the GRID World career mode. Multiplayer games in GRID for the PS3 support up to 12 players via LAN or PlayStation Network, and all courses and events from the single-player GRID World mode can be played in multiplayer. Codemasters’ GRID is a visually impressive, innovative, and realistic arcade racing game. Great for quick races between friends and more involved single-player games, this PS3 game quickly established itself as a race gaming benchmark following its 2008 release date. While it was also released for the Xbox 360, DLC, like the Prestige Pack, is exclusively available on the PS3.
