I've got it, pretty amazing even if you don't like racing games, plenty of events to do such as demolition derbys, drifting and lots more.

Fairly decent achievements too, not too hard, not too easy.

Yea this game is really fun, it lasts quite a while aswell, I've almost got the last License in USA, still need to do all the races in Europe and Japan so I can get those licenses lol

I played it for a bit yesterday and found it a bit arcadey but I'm sure I'll get into it.

Yea it's alot like PGR just instead of things like cone races you have demo derby, drifting, pro touge, touring cars etc. xD

If you get to Global you get all the licenses. I think you get it once you get some more rep or once you have done 1 license (not sure)

Anyway the game is ok i suppose, if you do want a new driving game the you should buy it but it isn't that good imo. Bit bored of it now and the quality of gamers online isnt very good either, i have like 42 wins 6 losses.

1 Million rep and you get global license, I'm only at 500k rep at the moment, haven't put a huge amount of time into it

I've played online once and I got into a game with some pretty good players

Good if you can get into a race with a clan or a couple of decent players. Thing is that most people race the BMC thingys and they are a bit rubbish, i mostly race the Aston or the Omex supercars and there isn't that many full decent games for them.

The Aston Martin DB9/DBR9 doesn't have that great of grip, so i tend to avoid it. It skids around alot

If you're doing Le Mans then it's good, I unlocked Le Mans legend achievement with it, do Le mans once with it to get a feel for it around the track then try do it on Pro mode, I managed to do the whole race without a crash xD

I've got GRiD, you can play it constantly for ageeessss IMO.

The Aston is a brilliant car. As long as you slow down enough for the corner you can put the accelerator on at anytime and get hardly any wheel spin. Best car for GT1 Imo but many people use the Lambo for its speed but it handles like a dog round the corners.

Im in most of the top 10 laprecords with my Aston :eusa_danc

is anyone actually gna try to attempt the 24hr race?

Stephen!
06-06-2008, 08:05 PM
I have many times. It's not actually 24 hours, it's more like 24 minutes. Just a bit quicker. I did do the 24hr event in Gran Turismo 4 though which actually was full on 24 hours. Knackered me.

Lol i love this car interior.

I find it very very very hard to dive in that view and i always accidently press the view button half way round the corner :eusa_wall. Looks great though.

i tried it for a few mins just to see if it was 24hrs and i think it is as the time went down 1 min every min irl (if that makes sense)

I can't play in any view but the interior.

BTW, from that screenshot does it look the same or worse than on the console? (That's a screenshot i took on the PC)

Xbox 360 version looks way better then that. :P

I downloaded a demo from the American PlayStation Store. I didn't really like it as I am not a fan of racing video games, and for some reason, the car kept spinning out 360 degrees really sensitively.

How much cash do you guys have in your bank accounts?

They are. Mates dad took us to the shop in his last week ;)


Is GRiD better than Forza?

I've only got 5m at the moment, haven't really been playing it for huge amounts of time, I'm on the National APL license now so I get those out of the way and should get global

I think it's better but it's not as realistic, it's like PGR

You think so? I did it on the first go :eusa_danc easier if you know the tack and how the car handles though.

Yeah. I thought the handling was pretty awful on that car. Span easily.
