360 - Race Driver: GRID - GRID designed to break America

Codemasters' sexy new racing game Race Driver: GRID has been designed to appeal to American gamers who didn't 'get' TOCA, says chief games designer Ralph Fulton.

This is what we're all about - throwing the car's rear end out and powering round corners sideways while the screeching tires kick up ludicrous amounts of smoke, just inches from the car in front. It looks like a more realistic Ridge Racer ...

Race Drive One: First superb shots

360 News | Race Driver: GRID

Sept 10 2007 The TOCA Race Driver series boasted some of the greatest racing action on last-gen consoles. Even the PSP version was brilliant. Now, with the first batch of images, publisher Codemasters has revealed the retina-piercing beauty of the new instalment in the franchise: Race Driver One. All the recent crop of next-gen (this-gen?) games have pleased our eyes - Project Gotham Racing 4 is especially pretty - but Race Driver One is easily among the most gorgeous. Perhaps it's the ...
