Following its home console launch in May, Race Driver: Grid returns in portable form this week as Codemasters announced that the Nintendo DS edition of the game is now shipping and will launch this Friday, 8th August.

An all-new video of the Nintendo DS edition in action is now showing online at http://community.racedrivergrid.com/.

The Nintendo DS edition of the game that Top Gear magazine called "the racing game of the year" has been specifically designed for the handheld and offers the most complete pick-up-and-play pocket racing package.

Extensive online and multiplayer options has players competing in four-player races, climbing to the top of global online leader boards for every race event, or sharing up to four individually created tracks with up to four players in the ultimate custom race series.

Race Driver: Grid delivers intense wheel-to-wheel racing against aggressive AI opponents, accessible handling, a huge career mode, quick fire Challenges and much more. Check it out this Friday for Nintendo DS.
