Race Driver: GRID demo races to a million downloads

With the latest in Codemasters' Race Driver series, GRID, expected to roll up to the starting line next week, the company has announced that the demo for the upcoming, not to mention decidedly un-boring racer has been downloaded over a million times over Xbox Live, PSN, and the PC.

The demo, which was released a couple weeks back, offers a look at what players can expect when Race Driver: Grid races to European retail shelves on May 30. Following this, North American players will be able to slip behind the wheel on June 3, while a more touchable version for the Nintendo DS is expected around the same time as well.

I also downloaded the demo not expecting much and will probably end up buying it now.

I have room for sim and arcadey racing in my collection.

I really enjoyed DiRT last summer, so it's great to have GRID this summer to take its place. DiRT rebooted the Colin McRae series nicely, and GRID looks set to do the same for the TOCA series.

I think they've found something fun in combining a more arcade racer feel with the extreme terminal damage. You get so much more of a rush from it than other recent racing games. GT, Forza, PGR, etc all feel stale and formulaic.
