![]() Hardcore SIMs should look this good, they would sell more games. I know Codemasters uses motion blur in this game because at 30-40fps it looks faster than GT-L *Vsync. Like I said it looks great, fun and I wish I could get to stop crashing so I can enjoy it more.īest looking PC racer out there, bar none and Codemaster's have outdone themselves. I ran it at 1920x1200 default detail (AAx4)(which I hear in the demo is set to high, not ultra) and FRAPS didn't give me an average but mid 20's is the lowest and down the longest part of track in the Muscle Car Race about 40-42fps. Too bad I only get to drive for about 1 lap maybe 1 1/2 laps before the darn thing crash to BSOD with that stupid IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL (if anybody knows what is causing that, let me know, all the drivers, including motherboard drivers are NEW, RECENT, Up To Date). djfourmoney - Saturday, Auglink I downloaded the demo after I installed my Visiontek HD3870 512mb card and Wow this game looks great (when its not crashing my system).Whether that's good or bad will depend on what you're after, but we found the overall feel to be quite enjoyable even if it may not appease the gearheads of the world. The game doesn't offer up the realism found in some of the hardcore racing sims, but it definitely has more realism than others in the genre like the Need for Speed series. We likely aren't qualified to judge the physics behind the cars, but they tend to do a good job at mimicking the feel of driving a race car. For instance, the Lamborghini takes corners very efficiently with minimal break application, while the Aston Martin requires just the right combination of break and hand break to handle a track's twists and turns. The racing in GRID is absolutely top-notch. Thankfully, the ability to update these colors exists to keep players from growing weary of the seafoam green they may have chosen. While it may have taken some guts on behalf of the development team to exclude such a feature as vehicle customization, Codemasters has made the game's direction clear in their tagline, " It's all about the race." Even so, cars will not be completely void of bling as sponsors will place decals on your cars as you take them on. However, GRID allows only cosmetic customization in which players will choose their team colors that will be applied to the body and trim of all of their cars. Many gamers have come to expect the ability to customize their vehicles in racing games. Here's the roster of the 43 different licensed vehicles you'll drive in the game. As players forge their way up the ladder and become a force to be reckoned with, more and more cars will become available. The vehicle types in GRID are also matched to the racing events and locations. There are numerous venues to experience during the course of the game, each of which is rendered beautifully and plays a major role in the overall satisfaction of the game. For instance, drivers will participate in muscle car racing in Detroit, grand prix events in Milan, and drifting challenges in Yokohama Japan. The location will typically coincide with the type of racing event. ![]() Players will take part in events scattered throughout various regions of the US, Europe, and Japan. Along with these various event types are a number of lavish venues to race though. GRID features a number of different events that will have players testing their endurance skills, speed in time trials, and even drifting. While going fast and finishing first is definitely on the agenda, finishing in second, third, and even fifth place in some events still puts cash in your pocket. In addition, sponsorships will become available as your reputation improves throughout the circuit. From there, players will begin to acquire more cars with their winnings. ![]() With only a few cars at your disposal, the goal is to collect enough prize money to begin your own racing team. In the single player campaign, or career mode, GRID World starts players as a newcomer to the racing scene. These two options are accompanied by Multiplayer which can be plaed via LAN or the internet. ![]() When you're ready to race, players have the choice of entering the game's career mode, called GRID World, or selecting Race Day that allows players to customize the racing experience by choosing the venue, track, car, number of laps, and race type. While the slope of such a curve will be dependent upon prior experience with other racing games, those who are either new to the genre or simply do not play driving games very often should find their way after a few short races. The absence of a tutorial may appear to represent a narrow learning curve, but be assured that there most definitely is one. As mentioned before, players will begin racing right away without any practice runs. ![]()
