The Bottom Line
Grid is a true evolution for Codemasters' acclaimed racing series. Challenging players to become the number one race driver in a new world of exhilarating motorsport, Grid takes players on a tour like never before! Bringing a new world of motor sport to life, players will race at beautifully realized and diverse locations across three continents. In Europe, race prestige marques on the world's most famous circuits including Spa and the Nurburgring. In the U.S., compete in powerful muscle cars through the streets of San Francisco to Washington DC. Taking the race to Japan, experience the unique exhilaration of drift racing on the neon-lit streets of Shibuya and then compete in Touge events, downhill races that are just barely legal.
Exclusively for the Nintendo DS edition, Grid will feature the evolution of the critically acclaimed track editor, first seen in Race Driver: Create and Race. With over 60 individual pieces, the creation system offers near-limitless design options, including the ability to personalize trackside hoardings and billboards. Players will be able to craft complete championship circuits in detail or, using the simple Free-Draw tool, create and race within minutes.
