GRID Legends is a wonderful racer that dials down the simulation elements of other racers, making it accessible to everyone. It features a fair amount of modes and some stunning visuals, as well as a wide range of cars to choose from.
After the absolutely shocking state of Gran Turismo 7. I’m glad I’ve bought this game.
Ever think you'd see the day when, given a choice between two racing games, you'd pick the one without the aggressive microtransactions
With GRID Legends, Codemasters has delivered one of the most generous and inclusive racing games of recent years. Though while its moment-to-moment action is pretty much second to none, its career mode just doesn’t quite get its hooks in you like it should. Throw in limited multiplayer offerings, and you have a racing game that’s great but not spectacular. If you want to fling cars around a whole load of city-based tracks and gleefully trade paint with your competitors, this is the racing game for you. Just don’t go in expecting to get all that invested in your career exploits.
Grid Legends has been a little prey to their intentions and times. The first, because what they wanted to reinforce the most is a narrative story mode that is far below what we expected to stay in no man's land. It is neither surprising, nor particularly interesting and does not seem to take itself too seriously. On the other hand, it doesn't invent the wheel either, never better said. And it dares to come out just a few days before a giant of virtual driving such as Gran Turismo 7.
Although its addition of plot and characters doesn’t quite work the racing action is as thrilling as ever, with a huge diversity of vehicles and the compelling handling fans have come to expect from the series.
Grid Legends has a good driving model, but its career mode annoyed me with some awful design choices. The story mode is decent, but it’s narrative is so obvious, you instantly know how the thing ends. In terms of graphics, great weather effects contrast with some aged textures, while the game as a whole suffers from heavy recycling.
Offline playable, no microtransactions, great graphics, good AI. Sony/Polyphony should take a look here on how to make a proper racing game and not ripping off players!
I appreciated this game a lot and for me, that was almost a 8/10 review. The story was really well implemented and that's the best story I saw in racing games (way better than Need for Speed or Dirt 5). Codemasters is really going in the right direction and future games should be even better ! I think however that the career mode is not great and my biggest letdown was the absence of music in the races. Otherwise, the game has everything. Graphics are nice, the driving feels fun and fluid. If you pay the full price for this game, I would recommend having a complete edition that contain all DLC, otherwise I don't think you should pay the full price for the base game only (my playthrough lasted 11 hours)
A far superior sequel to 2019's disappointing GRID Reboot, GRID: Legends improves the driving experience by stuffing itself with races and a story mode, although it can be weighed down by a persistent grind that may put off dedicated petrol-heads.
Looks like a last gen PS4/X1 game visually. The controls are responsive, but not at all accurate. Cars do not respond at all like real cars and as a result there is no drama/wow factor in playing this game. A poor choice for a racing game with much better options available. Not at all recommended.
Codemasters…
Das war man MEIN Rennspielexperte…
Aber jetzt…
Legends ist leider nur noch ein fader Abklatsch des einst so großartigen DTM Race Driver.
Schon Grid konnte nicht überzeugen. Und Legends ist im Grunde das gleiche Spiel, es wurden nur mehr Strecken und mehr Fahrzeuge … oh! und das Story-Kasperltheater wurde hinzugefügt. Und viel Gesabbel. Zum Glück kann man die Karriere auch großes Gedöns spielen.
Aber… AAABER: man muß immer online sein, da steht dann sogar, daß die Privatsphäre ausgeschaltet ist. Subba. Und ohne Datensammelerklärung geht’s auch nicht.
Dann wäre da noch der völlig unausgegorene Schwierigkeitsgrad, den sie ebenfalls aus dem Vorgänger importiert haben.
Erst spielte ich auch leicht. Das war win Rennmodus für Vorschüler.
Dann auf MITTEL… Ich habe jedes Rennen mit 8 Sekunden Vorsprung gewonnen und war bereits in der 1. Runde auf Platz 1.
Also stellte ich auf SCHWER.
Ergebnis: dasselbe, nur daß ich jetz mit 3 Sekunden Vorsprung ins Ziel komme und die Ideallinie nur noch in den Kurven angezeigt wird.
Stelle ich die KI aber auf EXPERTE, dann fahre ich plötzlich mit einem Gogomobil hinterher, denn es fahren nicht etwa die Gegner schneller, SONDERN MEIN AUTO LANGSAMER. Und zwar spürbar! Erreiche ich auf SCHWER Rundenzeiten von 0:58, sind es auf EXPERTE plötzlich nur noch 1:20.
Leute… echt jetz?!
