DS Gets GRID

via IGN


Firebrand Games, hot off its impressive and deep Race Driver: Create and Race for the Nintendo DS, is now working with Codemasters on the follow-up to last year's game: GRID.

GRID focuses on street racing, and the Nintendo DS version will enable players to zoom through popular locations such as Spa and the Nurburgring in Europe, as well as locations that cut through San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Japan.

The game will feature an evolution of the track creator that premiered in Race Driver: Create and Race, with the added ability to create your own textures for trackside billboards. The creator will feature more than sixty different track parts which opens up the ability to get incredibly detailed in track creation.

It will also feature the same deep multiplayer focus as Race Driver: Create and Race, both local and online over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Players will be able to post their created tracks for other racers to download to their cartridge.

GRID for the Nintendo DS is set to be completed in the same window as the console versions, this summer.
