Forget GT5 - Get on the Grid!

Having spent a lot of time playing Gran Turismo, I am really impressed with the realistic graphics and have enjoyed the gameplay. While it’s not perfect it was still one of my favorite racing games of all time.  Now there is a new challenger - Grid - available on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, this game Smashes the PS3 exclusive Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in all areas and takes you further into the driving seat of racing than any game before it.

When your after a realistic game that not only looks good, but gives you a feel for racing and just by clipping a corner, you get what you should…major damage to your car and some really bad handling. In GT5 Prologue you can smash into a car at 200MPH and just bounce of like a ping-pong ball, if they were after racing realism, then they are well off.

You got to get the right balance of gameplay and realism in all games and this is one reason COD4 has been so popular, what many gamers are after now (including myself) are both graphics and the thrill of realistic damage. In First Person Shooter games, this is a wall blowing apart from grenades and in racing games this is a car caving in under impact and driving conditions affected from these impacts.

With the full game of Gran Turismo 5 coming in 2009, lets hope they take that extra time to give the racing fans a lot more realistic gameplay and as such a more exciting race.

Got Racedriver Grid on the PS3 for Christmas. I had a quick go last night and have to say i'm very impressed. The graphics are fantastic and the realism is great. I think theres going to be plenty of lost hours on this one.
