Feral Interactive today announced that BAFTA award-winning
racing game
GRID™ will be released for the Mac on March 28th.
Developed and published by Codemasters for PC and consoles,
GRID is part of the celebrated
TOCA Touring Car series and comes to the Mac under the
Feral Legends label.
Style meets substance in
GRID, an exhilarating mix of sublime handling, dazzling
visuals and extreme speed that puts players behind the wheel of
massively race-tuned road cars by manufacturers such as Porsche,
Lamborghini and Aston Martin. With a sophisticated damage model,
adjustable difficulty settings and a handy "Flashback" feature,
GRID rides the sweet spot between sim realism and full-on
arcade racing.
GRID World is an extensive career mode that sees players race
their way around the world from the US to Europe to Japan on
spectacular tracks ranging from city streets to mountain roads to
famous circuits such as Spa and Le Mans. Players are challenged to
advance from rookie to pro and eventually lead the top racing team
in the world by proving their chops in five very different driving
disciplines.
The Feral Legends version of
GRID comprises the base game plus the
8-Ball and
Prestige DLC packs, which soup up the Race Day and
multiplayer modes with 18 extra cars, two new events and one new
track. The game includes LAN and online multiplayer modes and
supports a large selection of gamepads and steering wheels.
"
GRID is an awesome addition to the Feral Legends label and
an incredibly accessible game." said David Stephen, Managing
Director of Feral Interactive. "If you want to race on a Mac, this
is the place to start."
GRID for the Mac will retail in North America for US
$24.99, £17.49 (inc. VAT) in the UK and €19.99 (inc.
VAT) throughout Europe. When released, it will be available online
for direct download from a variety of digital partner sites
