Start your engines! Codemasters today announced that GRID has shipped to US retail stores. GRID is now available for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and Games For Windows. It retails for $60 on home console and $40 on Windows PC. A Nintendo DS version is planned for the third quarter of 2008.
GRID is an all-new race experience, taking players on a world tour of intricately designed racetracks and courses through Europe, the US and Japan. In addition to the exciting, ready-to-race gameplay that gamers have come to expect from Codemasters’ racing titles, GRID incorporates only the most powerful racecars ever created – new and classic, circuit and drift. GRID features the most detailed and destructible range of courses ever included in a Codemasters title, challenging gamers with a wide variety of racing styles – from official circuit challenges and drifting events to road races and urban street competitions around the globe.
“Codemasters has a rich history of producing AAA racing games,” said Dave Miller, Vice President of Marketing. “GRID is turning out to be one of the highest-scoring racing games the industry has seen in years*. By putting the ‘racing’ back into the racing genre, we’ve reignited what makes people love these games.”
