GRID

"Alright, you're disappointed. (Tears, anger, broken windows.) Now that you're over it, let's discuss why the DS version is a solid racer in its own right."

I’ll admit that I’m more a fan of the arcade-style racing games than those that put heavier focus on realism, so I’m much more looking forward to Firebrand Games’ next racing project: Trackmania DS. But GRID is still an impressive effort that has a lot going for it, and it’s a slight improvement over last year’s already impressive Race Driver: Create and Race experience. GRID is best played on the console, but the DS game offers up its own unique take on the core racing design, enough that it’s definitely worth a look.
