Grand Prix Legends (PC) Reviews

'Grand Prix Legends' is an extremely difficult, yet deeply rewarding game. It offers a simulation of the 1967 Formula One season that is highly realistic both graphically and physically. The tracks are faithfully recreated in painstaking detail, right down to trackside objects and spectators, advertising hoardings and surface changes. Monaco ...  Read the complete review

Most Grand Prix driving simulations or for that matter most driving games in rallying or touring cars have as the main point that they are up-to-date contemporary versions of their respective championships. Grand Prix legends is different in that it takes as its subject the Formula 1 championship of 1967. This is taking you back to the ...  Read the complete review

Challenging is the operative word - this game is SERIOUSLY hard! And to be anywhere near good you have to take it pretty seriously... I've been playing this game for a year now and I'm still not winning races, but amazingly that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it! The difficulty of this game means any kind of decent result will give HUGE ...  Read the complete review

This game is more than a little old and yet because no other games are quite like it it has most likley increased in popularity as it has got older. I said no other games are quite like it and that is true, it is the only F1 game I know of that covers this time period, back in the day when F1 was the sport of Gentlemen and the only ...  Read the complete review

What a wonderful world of opposite lockery! - Advantages: cars like going sideways, huge, supportive online community, the world's best tracks ever - Disadvantages: lots of patches to download, some american says 'hold on to your butt' every time you log on to play online at vroc

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Let's get this out the way first: Grand Prix Legends is the most difficult driving game I've ever played. Hours, days, even weeks went by before I could so much as complete a short race distance without crashing the car. I don't own a high-tech steering wheel and pedal setup, so you could attribute some of my failing down to that. ...  Read the complete review

There has never been a more realistic racing game on the PC. This game really shows how exiting it was to race back then. Racing with all the famous drivers of the past at 200mph with a car with no downforce is one great experience. The most realistic thing about the game is the sounds, it is great to here the roaring thunder of the ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

This game is an absolute MUST for 4-wheeled racing fans. It is painfully difficult at first. You're spinning off at the first corner EVERY time for the first few days/weeks. But this game is definately worth persevering with. Seriously consider buying a steering wheel and pedals though - its not really on trying to handle this much horsepower ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
