| Codemasters Shifts Racing into High Gear with Grid Codemasters announces GRID as the full and official name for the game formerly introduced under the working title Race Driver One. An all-new racing experience from Codemasters Studios, creators of the DiRT and Race Driver series, GRID is due out in mid 2008. GRID takes players to dramatic and beautifully realized race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars - new and classic, circuit and drift - players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships then beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, and then on through to road events and urban street races. Gamers will compete on Europe's greatest official race tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S, including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit - each with their own atmosphere and events - will play host to diverse street races, where high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive, closely fought pack competitions. And in the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, takes drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. There's also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama. GRID is being developed for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows, and is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the ESRB. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
