If you can persevere with the control system the game gets a lot more rewarding as you unlock new racing modes and cars. Oh, and the fictitious circuits are rubbish. The graphics are excellent and the track configurations are bang up to date (we can?óÔé¼Ôäót blame Codemasters for the uglification job Hermann Tilke did on Spa) although I thought a lot of the gradient on the tracks had been scaled down ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ Eau Rouge didn?óÔé¼Ôäót look half as steep as it is in real life. I can?óÔé¼Ôäót think of many other titles where you can drive a Formula Three car around Spa-Francorchamps. This really gets in the way of enjoying what?óÔé¼Ôäós good about the game. Unless you use the difficulty settings to neuter the challenge of driving entirely the unpredictable handling will have you spearing off on every lap.

I don?óÔé¼Ôäót think Race Driver: GRID strikes that balance as well ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ in fact I don?óÔé¼Ôäót think any of the Race Driver games have. Back at the start of this series of games the two original TOCA titles (based on the British Touring Car Championships) had driving models that were accessible but offered a decent challenge and, above all, allowed you to get stuck into wheel-banging racing without worrying about spinning off on every lap. None of this would be a problem if the driving dynamics weren?óÔé¼Ôäót so iffy. Especially as, in each race, you?óÔé¼Ôäóre dumped into the car for two or three laps without any practice. In the early stages of the game the sheer number of different racing series available gets a bit bewildering. GRID is a real mixed bag offering an enormous breath of racing modes: Touring Cars, Formula Three, plus more exotic varieties like drift racing.

I tested out the Xbox 360 version of GRID although, as the 2009 F1 game will be, it is multi-format and is available on PS3 and PC DVD. That makes sense because although a basic arcade pick-up-and play racer like GRID is fine for casual followers of the sport, more dedicated F1 fans will want a full-on, ultra-realistic driving experience. OK let?óÔé¼Ôäós get one thing out of the way to begin with ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ Race Driver: GRID is an arcade-style racer but Codemasters have admitted their F1 game will have both simulator and arcade modes.
