MoDojo Review: GRID

Robert Falcon Writes:

"GRID has already scored a few victory laps on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and now it's time for Nintendo DS owners to take a spin around the track with their own version. This is a super-technical racer, as you must steer high-class vehicles with precision. Otherwise, you'll grind against rails and turn your classy car into a pile of junk in a matter of seconds. This may frustrate inexperienced players, but others will find GRID to be one of the best Nintendo DS racers since Mario Kart DS.

In the game, there's an abundant amount of circuits and races that take you across the globe, including Tokyo, San Francisco and Milan. Each of the courses look great, and you can easily read upcoming turns by glimpsing at the grid on your bottom screen. You'll want to play it cautiously, as computer driven cars (and your human opponents) will try to stop you every step of the way in your quest for first place. The cars look good, although they occasionally look a little weird going into turns; it's almost like they're super-drifting. There's also a noticeable lack of speed, which can sometimes result in an unwanted collision. Overall, though, it's an improved design over last year's Race Driver: Create and Race."
