    Yet another excellent addition to Kairosoft's release library. It's familiar, but just different enough to feel unique among the rest. There's no reason why fans shouldn't snap this one up immediately, assuming they haven't already.

    I'm a huge fan of Kairosoft's managerial games, and Grand Prix Story is a worthy addition to the lineup. The aesthetics and concept are essentially the same, but the execution -- especially in how the game shows your progress -- is improved.

    Another great simulator from Kairosoft. This time you're winning races and managing racecar drivers.

    Grand Prix Story is a very solid iPhone app , but is not for everyone. Anyone looking to get the thrill of racing will not enjoy this app, but if you enjoy simulation games then Grand Prix Story is perfect.

    It's great on the go, fun to play regardless, and a neat little break from the studio's more recent games. I recommend it.

    Even though you may be suffering from Kairosoft-fatigue, Grand Prix Story is a fantastic sim that harkens back to the developer's roots while showing the polish you'd expect of a later title in their catalog.

    Placing us this time in the shoes of a racing team manager, Kairsoft has succeeded in creating a good management game that follows in the steps of the developer's 'Story' series. Despite a pacing issue in the middle segment of the game, Grand Prix Story remains most enjoyable and captivating.

    Even though the races won't keep you on the edge of your seat, this management-heavy racing game still charms with its unique character and addicting gameplay.

    Grand Prix Story is so far the simulation I have liked the least from Kairosoft. Too much sitting about idle, no racing interaction and a lack of combos are huge letdowns.

    So despite the winner podiums and big sponsorship contracts and – yes – even the hours you'll spend in this askew universe, Grand Prix Story feels more like deja vu than entertainment. The formula is rapidly palling.

The game is just brilliant, offering you plenty of options without becoming too in depth. It also allows you to watch your car race, something Game Dev Story never did. The only negatives are that it lacks lots of replay value, but that isn't really too disappointing for an App, and it also lacks some of the charm of the original GDS. I would strongly recommend this to any fans of Game Dev Story or fans of management games. This is a true gem that deserves more recognition than what it is getting.… Full Review »
