Despite our affinity for playing the DS while in the car, we're not sure the DS is the platform we want to race cars in, if you catch our drift. Nevertheless, Codemasters is bringing the Race Driver: GRID franchise to Nintendo's ubiquitous handheld. Most notable is the game's track editor, first spotted in last year's Race Driver: Create and Race DS game. Online multiplayer functionality enables up to four-player races, online leaderboards, and track-sharing ability including the ability to upload and download new tracks from a central server. The DS version is scheduled to release simultaneously with the already announced PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 releases sometime mid-2008.Despite our affinity for playing the DS while in the car, we're not sure the DS is the platform we want to race cars in, if you catch our drift.

The first game wasn't that bad, it was fun to play! I am interested in this version since it is more "street" oriented...

what amazes me most is there is a market for trying-to-be-realistic car games on the DS.
Obviously there must be for Codemasters to feel the need to release another one on the DS.
Their last effort was apparently the best on the DS, yet I found it to be bordering on unplayable given the system's limitatations.
Definitely not the type of game to show off the DS, IMO.
