GRID™ Is all about the race- that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.
GRID will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic 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 and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races.
In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. – including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events – play hosts to diverse street races. Here, high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive closely fought pack competitions.
In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. There is also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama.

Lots of racing and no adjustments to car or setup.
Good graphics on good computer.

These graphics blow me away, but the 30FPS cap is disapointing. Not only that, but i have a PS2, XBox and XBox 360 controller, and each has it's own adapter. This game doesn't regonize pressure sensitivity like console racing games such as Gran Turismo does. I would like to play it, but without decent controls..... Why + Bother

Don't buy this game if you have Vista 64 bit and a MoMo Force Feedback wheel. I wish someone would have posted that you have no control over the gas pedal when you try to play this game. Yes, it looks to be very fun if only it would work correctly. I went to Logitech's site and did download the latest driver version for my Feedback wheel, it still didn't help.
There seems to be some fixes out there which include rewiring your gas and brake pedals or fiddling with your (registry) all ... Read More

I am all about racing, airplane games and most recently first person shooters like COD, but my number one game type is racing. GRID hits the mark for me in just about every category and then some. It's neither a full blown Sim nor a full blown arcade race game. It falls somewhere in between and will lean slightly to the Sim side but not all the way. I thought Test Drive Unlimited was the end all to race games for the moment once I got it. It was a total eye candy game along with free roam, selection ... Read More

This is a great buy. A fan of both arcade (Need for Speed series) and sim (Formula 1 2002) racing, this game has been and still is very fun for me.
I'm not sure I would call it a simulation - even with all of the assists off - but it's realistic enough to make it challenging. Yet it's fairly forgiving in terms of racing a damaged car, going off the pavement for a second, coming back in a race after spinning out, etc. The combination of these two properties goes a long way in keeping the ...

85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.

panoramic views.

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
