For the game that's all about the race, the GRID playable demo delivers intense competition right from the start as players compete in single-player GRID World events, 12-player online races, and then prove their worth in the white-knuckle Time Trial competition, which is home to the eBay Motors Challenge.
The GRID demo enables players to experience a trio of GRID World racing showdowns. Take to the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT-R on the streets of San Francisco in the eBay Motors Muscle Cup. In Japan, race in a Nissan S15 Silvia in the Advan Drift Trophy at Yokohama Docks, while the sweeping curves and hairpins of the Jarama circuit in Spain plays 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.
"Codemasters Racing Studio redefined off road racing with DiRT last year, and we are confident that the launch of GRID, from the same acclaimed racing team, will again redefine the racing genre by putting the focus in racing games back on the racing itself," said Peter Chan, director of business development at Codemasters.
GRID, due out in June, 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 racecars - new and classic, circuit and drift - players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official racetracks and championships, and in urban street races.
GRID is set to ship to US retail on June 3 for the Xbox 360, the PLAYSTATION 3, and PC. Visit www.grid-game.com for more information.
