With the pre-launch buzz surrounding the upcoming title, though, it's very easy to forget about its six-year old predecessor: the critically-acclaimed racing game star of the seventh-gen, Race Driver: Grid. At least, that's what most of the folk who reviewed the title in 2008 reckoned Grid was. The question, though, is this: Does Race Driver: Grid still have what it takes to be described as one of the top racing game.. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.n4g.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">N4G.com</a></i><br /> 2013-05-23T18:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/2632951-electronic-theatre-preview-grid-2/rss/ The original Race Driver: GRID didn't exactly set the industry alight upon it's initial launch back in 2008, but it has since built a string following thanks to be a highly quality production that offers unique racing thrills. From it's figure-8 tracks to it's explosive barrels, Race Driver: GRID presented an experience that would remain entirely it's own until last year's DiRT Showdown, which comes from the same stable. The hope is that Codemasters will replicate this formula and build on the success of Race Driver: GRID in the forthcoming sequel, but a lot has happened to the racing genre .. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.gamekicker.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">Gamekicker.com</a></i><br /> 2013-05-20T16:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/2624870-codemasters-lanseaza-doua-trailere-noi-pentru-grid-2/rss/ Dezvoltatorul GRID 2, Codemasters, a lansat doua trailere noi pentru jocul de curse.

While the DiRT series has branched out a bit in GRID's absence, it has never really fulfilled the great scope of the robust experience since its primary focus has always been on rally racing and showy tricks rather than a great variety of races with aggressive A.I. opponents.

Like its Codemasters stablemate, F1 2010 deftly plucks the cherries from both gameplay styles to deliver an experience that's immediately accessible, but features plenty of depth for hardcore race fans. The result&#160;is an F1 game that's not only a great simulation, but an absolute blast to play. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.gamesradar.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">GamesRadar</a></i><br /> 2013-01-27T11:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/2463259-review-f1-race-stars-stevivorcom/rss/ Reviewer Nicholas Simonovski writes, "I sometimes approach a new Codemasters racing title with some form of scepticism. While theyve been responsible for some of this generations most enjoyable games (think Colin McRae DiRT, Race Driver GRID and F1 2012), theyve also had a track record for ruining what were once respectable franchises as well (just think what of what a shamble DiRT 2 was for the Colin McRae series).

Keenly balancing driving simulation and pure racing elements, Grid did much to re-invigorate the genre, most notably with its oft-imitated Flashback feature. Then, nothing. In the four years since, there have been three DiRT releases and two F1 titles from the developer, but not so much as a whiff of burning rubber from Grid.
