GRID demo online

For those of you that don't know, the GRID demo is now available for download via Playstation Network and XBL. I got my hands on the PS3 version of the demo, and I must say, for someone that loves racing games and plays them quite a bit, this demo is difficult on the regular difficulty. Despite the steep learning curve, the game shows a ton of promise. The physics constantly keep the player in check. On the BMW touring level, damage plays a huge role in how your car handles. Also, once your car slides off the track into the dirt, it is likely you will completely lose control and spin out in a plethora of unintended directions, with beautiful clouds of dirt swirling around your vehicle. Yes, the screenshots that we have all seen from this game (some below) really show some beautiful images. And yes, the game looks even better in motion! If you haven't yet, download the demo now and play it a couple of times. It's worth it!
