5 stars
Version: GRID demo
Pros: I don't know what to say about Race Driver: GRID really. I guess my 5-star rating can speak words for me?
The graphics of this game is totally amazing with intense physics and excellent gameplay. What's more is that there is multiplayer mode for online gaming too.
Having a mixed similarity of Juiced, Need for Speed: Pro Street and Gran Turismo, Codemasters have surely worked months to make an almost-perfect of a racing game. If you crash, your car is damaged and the pieces are left on the ground. How about broken wheels and wall-tyres when you hit them? That can be a little frustrating after doing a lap and coming back to see the mess you made... making it difficult to go through if you're not careful.
Not forgetting the graphic-adjustment features with screen-resolution and aspect ratios (4:3 standard or 16:9/10 widescreen).
Overall: An excellent game and well worth the money.
Cons: On the multiplayer mode, there is chat which can get in the way of players because it interrupts their concentration and they cannot see clearly when maneouvering to the left during race.
Hopefully, Codemasters will fix this problem on their update patch soon. Would be better with 5 lines of text instead of 3, and lowered enough to be out of a players' focus.

"cant successfully download it"
Cons: not only is the download speed always 1 to 2 digit kbps, when i usually get 3 digit kbps (from 100-300) and it always has an error somewhere during the process. i waited so long for it to be downloaded overnight and when i wake up, i see that it wasn't successfully downloaded.

4 stars
Version: GRID demo 1.1
Pros: Very nice graphics and blur motion racing.
Cons: Another failed pc crossover. It seems that all the games developed to support the console franchises these days are failing at optimizing their code and executions to run on a pc smoothly.
An xbox 360 vs today's gaming pc is a comparison by way of pinto vs ferrari, yet somehow the game manufacturer's completely miss the mark. You will need a super gaming pc and if your lucky the game will play well at 1024x768 while keeping a decent refresh rate and responsiveness to your analog controls.
