Sadly they shut down the online servers.

Codemaster's racing games (and maybe The Witcher 2) are the only games I saw where the ingame footage looks like the prerendered screenshots which turned out not to be prerendered unlike the screenshots you usually see from non-indie developers. That's why I think it's important to make official screenshots with the HUD visible.
Grid is in my opinion better than Dirt. I hope there will be a Grid 2 soon.
Not only this game is worth the money, it also goes to charity.
I have a disk version of GRID but I might as well add it to my Steam library :)
GRID2 , please, Codies.

Crap and I just bought it. Oh well, hopefully singleplayer is good enough.

I fucking hate it when people do this. I wanted to play NFS Underground 2 so badly but I can only do singleplayer now.
Bought this when it was 33% off in the summer sale. Is it too late to contact steam support and ask for some money back?

p. sure you never get refunds from steam, unless in extreme circumstances.
this game is great however, played the demo a few years back. sucks that my debit card won't be here for another week :(

Apparently everyone gets one, that's what they told me. But I was exceptionally nice to them so that may have helped.
Half of the time when I played this ( a long while ago ) was play around with the crash physics.

[QUOTE=The golden;31213914]Kinda sad that Dirt 2 and 3 don't have any damage systems whatsoever.[/QUOTE]
Huh? Dirt 2 lets you total cars. Even the AI totals cars. Just ask Ken Block.
This game is great, but if your going to use WASD, don't bother, its so fucking sensitive.

Playing any racing game without a gamepad is just awful.

[QUOTE=The golden;31212255]I would just like to point out that this game can be extremely frustrating at times. Biggest point I would say is the cheating AI.[/QUOTE]
I've been meaning to get this for ages, might do it now. What do you mean about cheating AI though? If anyone could fill me in, that'd be top notch.
[editline]19th July 2011[/editline]
Oh right, just Googled around and it seems there's some AI catchup stuff going on when they drop behind. Sounds kind of annoying but I could probably get over that. Unless there's something else which is absolutely gamebreaking.

Yeah, they get a lot of bonuses in order to make the game harder...
...it's pointless.
[QUOTE=The golden;31213914]Kinda sad that Dirt 2 and 3 don't have any damage systems whatsoever.[/QUOTE]
But they both do
What I don't like in this game is the AI and how the color pallette consist of yellow, orange and brown (obviously not 100% true but still), escpecially the latter makes the game feel a bit dull.
[editline]20th July 2011[/editline]
What makes it even worse it the amount of bloom.
[editline]20th July 2011[/editline]
I haven't played the game a lot though, and my rant about the graphics is dumb.
So, 75% or 68% off?
Worth it, again.
[QUOTE=The golden;31216058]You can: Damage the engine, wheels, and total the car. That's 3 things you can do. Cars barely deform upon impact and there is minimal bodywork damage.
Any player of Dirt 1 can tell you the damage in the first game was vastly superior. The brakes even squealed when badly worn in the first game.[/QUOTE]
"No damage systems whatsoever" to "well they had damage but it wasn't as good as the first DiRT"
I got it today. It's pretty fun when you're not getting raped by the dirty AI.
I played it before. It starts out pretty good then it just gets boring.
I don't really like how you get to do 4 or 5 races then it's time for Le Mans again. Ugh.
Why do they even have Le Mans. Driving in a straight line in Grid is not even remotely fun.

Sarthe is the best track of all time
(I don't like Nurburgring, sue me)
I liked Grid a lot. I hope they make a sequel to it before they make Dirt 4.
The rubberband AI is frustrating though, especially in the later races.

Because every Xbox360 game (except for EA games) are hosted by Microsoft themselves and are only taken down when the whole Live network is taken down.
