Race Driver GRID Demo

Well what can i say? I have been looking forward to this game since i saw the trailer a couple of months ago and i was excited when i saw the demo was up. First off the game is made by Codemasters so it's got some good talent behind it, after all they have been making the great Collin Mcrae rally games.

So the demo loaded and the first thing i noticed was the great graphics just on the title screens. Loading the game and getting started is easy and the loading screens are very short so you get straight into the action. The demo has three races, time trials and xbox live. While racing the cars feel brilliant, they handle how you would expect a real car to handle and you have to control just like you would in the real world. If you speed into a corner with no braking you WILL spin out, so a good understanding of racing and driving is a help. The graphics on the cars is spot on they look amazing as well as the tracks and backdrops.

The damage on the cars is very good and the games engine breaks parts of the bodywork off in the right places at the right time. For example one of the tracks is based in SF and as you would expect it's very hilly, as the car jump the hills and connect with the tarmac the bumpers/splitters crack, bend and distort. Overall this game is looking great and i will definitely be buying it when it hits the
shelves.
