Grid released by CodeMasters is a stylish version of the racing game and has got enough to be admired by the gamers. Besides PC, PS3 and Xbox Grid was also released for Nintendo DS controls. The game faced a stiff competition with ‘Need For Speed:Pro Street’ but has outmatched it in every possible aspect of racing.

The best feature of this racing game is the ability to rewind the time as in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. However there is a limit on the number of times it can be dome. The game also holds an instant replay feature that permits to look back at what has happened for the past 10 seconds.

The race types include open ones, GT races and another special one named ‘demolition derbies’. The game is definitely fast paced and offers enough to keep the racers stuck to their consoles. The simulation of real time racing is very successful and the sound effects adds much more originality. As said million times the damage being done to cars is very unrealistic in NFS racing series and you would find the straight opposite in Grid. Better concentrate on the road or you will be finding your ride is nothing but colorfully painted trash.

The multiplayer mode is superb and so are the visual and graphic standards. Special effort has been given to add a stylish touch to the game. The difficulty is realistic and need some substance to get through the challenges. Though it is attempted to simulate racing it has become some sort of arcade game. Yet it never fails to deliver the intended fun. The controls are way too sensitive compared to other racing games and can make or break the game. If you are looking for a realistic version of racing simulation ‘Grid’ is probably waiting for you at the stores.
