Grid is an admirable attempt at doing “serious” racing on the DS. Technically impressive, with solid gameplay and plenty of variety, the game will satisfy the mild-to-moderate gearhead.
It’s the same old story, the same old song and dance. If you’re a fan of Aerosmith and don’t mind overpaying for a limited track list, this is your game. If you’re not a fan, just wait for the fall, when Guitar Hero: World Tour arrives.
Try developing a game after an all-night bender consisting of the Mario Kart series, Wacky Wheels, Stunt Driver, and way too much alcohol, and you’ll probably end up with something almost as fantastic as Sidhe Interactive’s GripShift.
