I usually turn the ASM and the TCS off (although I’d turn the tration control on for harder races) but keep the ABS on. And I use manual shifting, and there’s a feedback when you shift in this game. I would say, the car handles as well as Gran Turismo 4 with a more powerful FFB and a better implelmented FFB when compared to GT4. While the sense of speed in this game is unabashedly arcade, with the use of steering wheel, I get better control of the cars.

Anonymous: I play many sim and arcade pc racing games and i like them. Each one has something good to offer. Never played such crap like GRID. Completely bad gameplay and handling, sad and unrealistic graphics too. The worst racing game i have ever played (trade mark).

Exaggerate much?

HRD and Bloom can be modified and there is a nice PC mod that brings better lighting to the game. Biggest issue is more the dweebs racing this online. There is nothing to sort out the racers with assists and those without and way too many people play this like it’s a dodgem car sim.

Matter of fact the game really is a pita for clean racers as it’s not possible to compete with the slammers online.

Looking forward to the new engine being developed for rFactor 2 and the likes as that will bring the visuals better than GRID with some more believable driving.

If you want an ok online experience with GRID select long races and then hand back from the pack, drive clean and watch everyone else wipe themselves out.

Surely some mistake.

Has anyone tried running the game without the traction control and braking assist?

Noo Noo, I am starting to feel that you must really like this game and perhaps you have participated in the making of it. Your attitude towards real sim racer is poor, attacking the incredible robust/proven and accurate engine that ISI has developped is laughable at.

Good night to all arcade and sim racer, prepar for the worst F1 game in history!

Unfortunately from the 360 demo of GRID the handling is not good, unless you like you track racers to allow excessive power sliding. The cars suffer from having a central pivot point at the front which the handling model seems to slide the back end around. The result is a very unrealistic handling model which feels like the back end is on ice at times. It is an arcade racer but PGR 4 proved that arcade racers with a consistent and physics model which doesn’t pivot around the front of the car can be enjoyable. Shame because I codemasters seem to be moving all of their racing franchises away from semi-sim to be very arcadey. I am sure the game is still enjoyable and I like the single player progression (from what I have read and been told) so may still buy the game but for my proper racing fix I will stick with Forza 2 on the consoles.

CM states the arcade design was to meet the demand for users in the US, cause all us Yanks are only interested in Fast Causal Experience, but they released it in UK five days before released in US so all the hard core gamers in the UK/Europe can play first.

Now I mean no disrespect to all users, I’m simply trying to point out that this is all a bunch of crap! They made the game arcadie to design it Faster and Cheaper, and the simple minded arcade users are defending them.

Montoya, thanks for your review, I’m glad someone had the ROCKS to speak their mind…. hoooorah!

The reason people are pissed is not because they expected GTR3, its because its piss poor even compared to GT Prologue and Forza 2.
