GRiD - A new, amazing Arcade racing game developed by Codemasters for the XBoX 360, PS3, PC. The next in the line of well received TOCA series.

Gameplay: Fast and furious. Multiple types of racing, from drifting to destruction derby to muscle cars to rally. Damage can be unforgiving, even a single hard crash into a wall can eliminate you from a race. Very fast paced and very intense, the game is completely amazing when using the Microsoft Wheel. Also, true players always use the locked head cam for complete awesomeness. In singeplayer mode you can utilize the "Flashback" feature to rewind and retry at a specific point in a race where you crashed, which can be nice when you've spent 8 laps in first place only for someone to come up behind you and pit stop you into a wall.

Multiplayer: Also amazing, but also the issue that is causing this thread. A lot of players like to "race" by only trying to ram everyone in sight and cause as many accidents as possible. It would be nice to get some people from PA that have the game that would like to actually race and, occasionally, "accidentally" bump someone into a wall.

Graphics: Completely amazing. Amazing damage model, beautiful backgrounds, the speed is ridiculous.

    It's definitely worth it. Post your gamertag when you buy it and we can go race some people Tom Cruise style 8-)

    If that's a reference to the rental-car scene in Days of Thunder, wow. I am so in.

    I was going to make a Game On but it's probably a good thing you did it instead.

    I'm so in, my GT is in my sig.

    If I'm playing Ninja Gaiden 2 or something, just send me an invite anyway.

    Does this have a proper lobby system online? I know Codemasters isn't the greatest when it comes to online multiplayer.

    If so, I need to buy this.
