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.
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.
