I am into the NFS games, except Pro Street. So hopefully I will give it a go.

Benjo, no controller, will have to be the keyboard for me

Cheers for the replies.

You'll LOVE it, among games like that it's an absolutely king, graphically and gameplay wise.

But get a wheel or at least a pad (they're not expensive).

It's quite realistic if you want a hovercraft simulator.....

Very pretty graphically and plenty of variety of cars and tracks.

As you like NFS games you should like this.

Crashes constantly for me.

Drive more carefully!

Unfortunately, I've spent the last month and a bit playing FlatOut. That was not good for my GRID playing ability D:

It's awesome. I find myself watching the replays in slow motion more than anything

Play it with a 360 pad, and enjoy.

Sorry to be sort of off topic here guys, but can you use a usb 360 pad on the pc? It'd help on racing games. Particularly grid.

Is it just me or does the AI suck? It's a great game yes but in the 24 hour le mans i'm always a lot better than all in my class. Then the last few mins of the race I get nervous because of the heart beat music they play and start making corners badly and slow down, they catch me up straight away and I end up 3rd in my class and lose lol.

the way the servers are done in multiplayer are the most retarded ive seen.

the game play is rubbish due to people crashing all the time like monkeys driving fast cars.

1.2 patch doesnt work well so use 1.0

Yep biggest problem with GRID online is the "First lap first corner holocaust".

Unless I chance on a server with decent racers (yeah right), I usually hang back on the first corner, take the widest line, and work my way through the inveitable pile up. Then race properly after that.

Tis annoying, but there you go. Decent game otherwise

USB & Wireless 360 pads are the same for XBOX360 & PC.

Tho with the Wireless controller on the PC a Wireless Receiver is needed for it that can be bough separately or together as a package.

Hang back if your near the back to start off with.

Gun it if your at the front & try to get around that first corner out of the way even if its untidy.

And just pray if your start in the middle
