Should work straight out of the box. I'm using same controller with no problems.

Have you installed the Grid 1.2 Patch? This apparently fixes some bugs with the control system

Also, you may need to choose a custom controller setup and map the buttons yourself as the default one didnt work for me as the button assignment was all wrong.

I've played the demo with my 360 control pad but I can't say the game blow me away nor can I can the game was bad, the graphics were good, the cars handled as I expected them to and the attention to detail is impressive. The biggest problem I have with Grid is that it's not all that exciting, I prefer car games like Carmageddon or Need to For Speed.

I want to get this game, but only way id get it is if I bought the G25 wheel....but i have no money and getting a wheel just for that isnt really worth it

I have XP, and Grid worked with the Xbox360 controller without me even having to tell it what I was using for a controller.

Mayber your USB ports are screwey.

I have a G25 which I use for Live for Speed, GTR1&2, etc. All I can say is that the G25 is completely wasted on Grid. This game was designed for a controller not a steering wheel.

When I first played Grid I like it a lot. Something a bit different. I felt the handling was better than most arcade style games and I especially loved the drifting and the Touge events, but... once you've played through them a couple of times the fun factor drops dramtically. At least for me anyway. Even on extreme the game offers very little competitiveness and then you start finding faults with it. Especially with the AI which is just horrible!!!

Surely it can't be that hard for a computer controlled car to KNOW your on the racing line or overtaking them on the inside of the corner but instead they just cut across keeping to their own line not even caring what your doing!!

Why can't anyone do decent AI in driving games? I don't think I'm asking for too much... or am I?

Thanks guys.
Got it working last night

What can i say. The game is OK. Its a little too 'arcadey' for me. Even with driving aids off, the car handling just seems... off.

Driving a fast, high powered race car without driving aids, the car should be constantly trying to kill you. Punishing you for every mistake. But its not like that at all. The cars seem and feel like they are on valium... or have been smoking weed.

Will give it a decent go, but me not likey so far.

actually i think this is the best racing game since Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. i had 4 and played through most of it and got tired. I also have been playing NFS since the beginning. and got tired of the series after UG1 didnt like UG2 at all and along with the rest of them. GTR and LfS ehhh. just wasnt cathing to me. Dirt Blah nope even on my new sys. i didnt like the control of the game. It really reminds me of Le Mans 24 Hours on the PS2 i play that for hrs. and if i remember correctly it had a real 24 hr race. but i had that back in '03. the thing i like the most about this game is that you dont have to buy parts and sup-up ur car for it to be faster. you buy a car put some stickers/sponsors on it and race. it has all the factory racing parts you need.

ps3 is like the worst controller EVA. The only good thing is the patented d-pad. Every other d pad sux.
Its too small and slipery, i cant hold onto it, and the trigers for racing dont have a long enough pull. Thats why, whenever possible i use my xbox1 conrtoller for driving games.

In other news... the game physics SUCK! There is no such thing as progressive under or over steer. U throw a car into a corner and it just turns. U spin out in 3rd gear and keep the power on and drive out of it.

Im pretty dissapointed actually. I will stick to TDU for now.

I don't see the point of buying it just for a few months use. Probably just better off waiting until you get back from Uni and then seeing if you still want it. I would've thought by then a new better steering wheel would be available too!

Well i gave the game another good bash, then uninstalled it.
The whole idea behind the game seems to be "lets make it as easy to drive as possible, so there is no learning curve and people can concentrate on everything else BUT driving"

As an arcade racing game it succeeds quite well. As a racing sim, it fails horribly.
Any real life physics you may think exist are totally missing from the game, both driving and damage. Lift off oversteer, what happened to that? Did the developers 'forget' about that? Clipping a tyre wall at 200+ is also no problem, just like hitting a wall in an open wheeler doesnt remove the front wing or wheel. Counter steering does little to correct a powerslide, but blipping the throttle off for a split second does. Just try doing some donuts... usually a fun time waster in racing games. Id rather be at the dentist.

Sorry Codemasters, Grid is a load of wank imo. I will stick with Test Drive Unlimited and Forza2.
