Demo for Race Driver: GRID on Xbox LIVE Marketplace

Published May 19, 2008

Race Driver: GRID™ is all about the race, every moment from the adrenalin rush at the starting lights to the elation at the checkered flag—the tension, pressure, noise, and action.

Race at Jarama.

Featuring only the most powerful race cars—current and classic, circuit and drift—players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships, and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, road events, and urban street races.

Racing on the streets of San Francisco.

The Race Driver: GRID demo enables players to experience a trio of racing showdowns. Take the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT-R on the streets of San Francisco in the eBay Motors Muscle Cup. In Japan, race a Nissan S15 Silvia in the Advan Drift Trophy at Yokohama Docks, while the sweeping curves and hairpins of the Jarama circuit in Spain play host to the Euro Touring Cars championship featuring BMW 320si touring cars. For players who want to challenge each other online, the demo delivers 12-player online competitions at the European and U.S. locations.

Try your hand at drift racing.

In the full game, you'll be able to race prestige marques on the greatest official race circuits. Enter street competitions and race high-performance V8 muscle cars through iconic U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Detroit. In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including drift racing, take drivers through neon-illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. As the antithesis of the box-ticking race game, Race Driver: GRID delivers races crammed with action and incident to create the most intense, most aggressive, and most engrossing racing game for years.
