Update at the bottom! ===================== Now here's something unusual: a game company that actually takes some notice of its customers. Not the publisher - Sierra - whose attitude seems to be that they might possibly think about doing something else when they've finished NASCAR 27, but the developers - Papyrus - who have most certainly gone above and beyond the call of duty in supporting this superb game, despite its highly disappointing sales (40,000 is the only figure I've seen; I have no idea how accurate that might be). An example: back in May, it became apparent that there was a bug in the low-level routines, meaning that, when ...  Read the complete review

After playing Grand Prix Legends for just a few minutes, it becomes clear that this driving simulator is very different from all the rest. Forget about driving round the track with your foot to the floor (or thumb to the button!) then turning the wheel and driving round the corner. GPL is the first driving game I have played where you actually have to concentrate 100% of the time just to keep the car on the road. Lift off the accelerator whilst rounding a corner and you are likely to end up spinning off the track in to a nearby hedge!! Drive over a hump on the track too fast and the car will become airborne. The realism is increased with the knowledge ...  Read the complete review

Grand Prix Legends is an accurate simulation of the 1967 Formula one season. It includes a range of cars from the era including Lotus, Brabham, BRM, Ferrari, Eagle, Cooper (called Coventry in the game) and Honda (called Murusama in the game). The game also features a large range of tracks including Spa, Monaco, Monza, Silverstone, Kyalami and Watkins Glen to name but a few. The physics simulation in this game is the best yet seen, giving an excellent feeling of driving a real car at speed, and also allows you to alter the cars setup, giving a realistic change in the cars perfomance. If you're into arcade racers look elsewhere, if however ...  Read the complete review

Grand Prix Legends is not a game for the faint-hearted gamesplayer. In fact, lets go a step further - it'll bore a lot of people to tears. However, for anyone remotely interested in historic GP racing, GPL gives the finest gaming experience you'll ever know. All of 1967's tracks and cars are here, even if they are hidden by false names by licensing problems in some cases. Sierra did make one historical change - they removed the drab Le Mans Bugatti circuit and replaced it with the much better Rouen track. You can really feel the differences between the cars, from the nimble but tail-happy Lotus 49 to the slow but stable BRM H-16. Jump into the ...  Read the complete review

This games is the racing game to end all racing games. I have my fair share of driving games, Monaco Grand Prix 2, Colin Mcrae, Toca 2, all excellent in their own way, but this is the only one where as soon as you get in the car you feel like its 1967 and your sitting in a real Grand Prix Ferrari. WARNING!!! - You Must Have A Steering Wheel. Do not even attempt to play this game unless you have a good qualtiy steering wheel, you wont stand a chance. The options are pretty standard and each of the cars are very different and some are hard to drive and some are very hard to drive. In fact even with a steering wheel you will spend more time in the ...  Read the complete review
