It's an early lead for GRID then, though there's every chance that Trackmania's vaunted track creation mode could see it pull back in front.

Can the DS do "serious" racing games? As things stand, there are three such titles due this year on the handheld: Evolution GT, Trackmania DS, and Race Driver: GRID. Developer Codemasters showed off the latter earlier today, and you can color us impressed. Watch the trailer above and you'll see pure, white stallions emerging from magnificently rendered waves that this is already looking remarkably fluid -- and that's with eight cars on track at once and an array of weather effects.

The song is "Phat Planet" by Leftfield - from all the way back in 1999.

Not sure if you can call Trackmania "serious"

Those really are some pretty graphics for the DS. And they seemed to be running at a decent rate...
I hope that was all unshopped in game footage, though!
Would suck if it was "FMV crappy enough to look like real graphics" :P
