GRID This instant

After playing Dirt, I could hardly wait to get into this game.
I prefer realism and realistic cars and driving. What this is is
another excellent example of what's wrong with the racing genre.

THE GOOD:
Graphics, sounds, detail, cars (interior and exterior)
Menu System

THE BAD:
Virtually unplayable with driving aids turned off
Pedal sensitivity and feel , even with saturation turned down
Steering lag
Bump-n-Grind (The other cars smash each other (and you) around
the track like a demolition derby!)
Narrator in your ear all the time (very annoying)
Car slides around like it was on ice, can burnout from a standstill
in 4th gear!
The AI cars don't slide like you do, they grip all the way through
the turn!

After Dirt, I thought the same company would nail the driving in this game.
I have other racers (Indianapolis 500, Race Pro, Forza2) that are far more
realistic than this game is. In those games it's your driving that makes
the difference, not how many "cheats" you have turned on. I guess if you like
playing with that stuff, you'll like this game just fine. If you're looking for
more realism, though, more sim,I suggest you look elsewhere. I agree with another
poster on F1 in Sept. I hope they don't screw that one up.
