Other challenges include tests such as Speed, Acceleration, and Braking. Challenges include single races, time trials, and modes such Championship, Survival, Chase, Blueprint, Togue, and Drift Battle. You will compete in a host of events, including different racing styles and challenges. It looks good, it sounds good, it plays well, it's fun, and it's got some serious replay value with the multiplayer modes and the track editor.Ī variety of licensed cars are put to the test on tracks all over the world. The game has been specifically designed for the DS, and it shows. There are no comparisons except for the title, but that's a good thing. It's not the destination, with GRID it's all about the journey.Ĭomparisons to the console version of GRID are futile. GRID is not just about crossing the finish line in first place. The difficulty increases gradually, as the gameplay expands on the racing concept to include a series of technical tests and trials designed to improve your driving techniques. It's easy enough for novices to get into, and it's challenging enough for hardcores. GRID strikes a balance between arcade and sim. Unfortunately, GRID is not that ultimate racing game. With great graphics, controls, and plenty of gameplay variety, GRID is paving the path for the ultimate racing game that this series will eventually produce. It's definitely more refined, and that's certainly worthy to note. It will not reach classic status, simply because it's too similar to the developer's last effort, Race Driver: Create and Race. Will GRID take its place among the classic handheld racing games, or will it be quickly be relegated to the discount bin? I'll let you know in the next paragraph if you promise to read the entire review. There are two reasons that you are reading this review: Either you are thinking of buying this game, or you already have purchased it and want to see if you agree with my assessment. There are so many good racing games available I continually ask, "Does the world really need another racing game?" Well apparently so, because they still keep making them, and that means that people are still buying them. I've maintained for years that the racing genre is getting stale.
