Burnout meets Need For Speed with the graphic quality of GT, this game rocks!!!!!!!!
The only downer is the lack of modification, That said, the gameplay is flat out exciting. Absolutely incredible wrecks, pristine sense of speed, graphicaly juicey, and some way sweet features, not to mention the variety of race types.
The cars handling is not as tecnical as GT but is a perfect balance between real and fantasy. The ability to throw the rear end out in any car, on any turn and keep the car in complete control makes me smile.
The wrecks are shocking. You loose it and clip the wall, your car goes airborne, doing a couple barrel rolls into the other cars, the crowd's cheers become deafening as body parts fly from your car and you slam into another wall 100 yards away, totalling your car and taking a competitor or two out in the process. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE, the fun doesn't stop there, after you total your car, you have the ability watch the wreck in multiple angles AND can "rewind" to before you lost control and correct your path to avoid the wreck and continue the race. The wrecks are so sweet I find myself Restarting ( alot ) and seeing how sick I can wreck and how many cars I can take out
Grid includes race types galore, You can go from Open wheel (f1, indy) to drift, to Demolition derby, to classic American muscle car shootouts and then top it all off with " the 24 hours of LeMans"
The "sim" in grid is in the team management. At first, you are alone, racing for other teams, from there, you get your own team with sponsers, Not only do you get paid to win races, your sponser's pay you also. After you unlock the second Tier of races, you can hire a team mate, you get paid for his races and can double the sponser income.
GRID combines the pleasure of NFS races with the wrecks and sense of speed of burn out and looks great, any racing fan should pick up this game. You won't regret it
