  1. GT Legends deftly accelerates its way to the front of the pack as the prettiest and most personality-rich racing experience the PC has ever seen. [Jan 2005, p.108]
  2. An incredibly deep sim that hits all the right notes for hardcore racing fans.
  3. A joy to play and a real showpiece for the vintage cars it replicates, GT Legends is a great achievement and a must-have for simulation addicts.
  4. The enthusiast shall probably enjoy the 60’s twist, but others should look past, as there are too many others in the genre to pass by in order to reach out for GT Legends.

    The game is excellent. For real racesim fans like me, it beats the king of all sims, Grand Prix Legends. It's better than GTR and right now, our league prefers it to rFactor. That makes #1. The great thing about it is that the AI is so good. If you have no interest in a league, you won't be missing out on much if you just play the career through. I recommend a great FF wheel, one of the Logitech Momos or the DFP. Expand

    I'm already playing this one for 2 years and it's still my favorite sim game despite the releases of newer games like GTR2, rFactor or even RACE07. Expand
  3. At the time it got out it was really amazing. Now the graphics had gotten old, but the gameplay is still golden. I still tend to think it's a bit overdone as far as difficulty goes. But a truly golden game, with memorable league races. Expand

    Maybe not as many cars as games such as GT3, but by far more detail and internal car views that look the real deal. Throw in the most realistic engine sounds ever and this is as close as I'll get to driving one of those classic motors of yore. Expand
