    I am disappointed with the AI, as it seems that the other drivers are there just to annoy. They have no interest in winning the race at all. Once you create an nemesis it can follow you through the whole race, otherwise it stays in the background and doesn't even try to win.

    The game is repetitive and GRID quickly turns into GRI(N)D.

    Je mets 6 pour être sympa....
    Aucune évolution par rapport au grid précédent.

    70% des courses et des circuits plus que oubliable, un casting XL pour 3 cinématique qui se battent en duel......

    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.

    "Greed has poisoned men's souls." That is extremely evident when you first boot the game up. The game makes you agree to an (anti)privacy policy , to play it all. The game is online only (which i already knew) and does not need to be, as I only engaged in single player activities. This level of greed has already earned these dev's a boycott, but its kind of a shame because the game does"Greed has poisoned men's souls." That is extremely evident when you first boot the game up.

A 36 event story, hundreds of cars, and the ability to rewind time. Worth a rent if you like racing (super glad I only rented), worth a boycott if you hate tyranny.… Expand

    The story: The story does not match what happens in gameplay if they made it so what happens in the story was based off how well you do in the game then it would be pretty good but it doesn't so it doesn't matter how well you do it a race get first or 5th it doesn't matter get back to back wins and the game would say you're just barely making it even tho you're really winning with ease, ifThe story: The story does not match what happens in gameplay if they made it so what happens in the story was based off how well you do in the game then it would be pretty good but it doesn't so it doesn't matter how well you do it a race get first or 5th it doesn't matter get back to back wins and the game would say you're just barely making it even tho you're really winning with ease, if the story was based around how well you do in game then it would be so much better.

    Yume: Tho she and the game keep saying shes better then you really she sucks she crash's a lot shes slow and she drives into you and gets in the way all the time she also does not carry the team at all even tho they say she is and is actually the one whos getting carried, shes pretty unlike able.

    Ai placements: The ai placements for some races are rigged, in one race i got 2nd but the people who were showed getting first and 2nd were actually in 4th and i think 7th, there was a pretty big crash that had one fall really far behind, so unless you and Yume both finish in the top 3 then those two will always be shown as getting the top spots even if they didn't actually finish top 3 they do show up in the right order so if one was in front of the other then they'll get the higher placement, also on the topic of placements its kinda odd the game doesn't show placements after the races so you have no way to see where anyone placed or what there times were.

    over all good racing game with a bad story and a always online one (not actually a always online game i just mistook it for one because i didn't know i could set it to offline but leaving this next part in) sure you can play single player but only if you're connected to the internet if it ever goes out you get kicked from the game even if you're not playing multiplayer, always online games like this are dumb and no one wants them sure if you're playing with other players and your internet goes out you're gonna get booted from the game but when you're playing alone in a single player game you shouldn't get kicked/be unable to play because you're internet went out it's so dumb. lf your game is gonna have a way to play single player then don't make it always online. Also i don't think it says the game is a always online game when you start it up so if you go into this game like me not knowing its always online and your internet drops out for whatever reason then you'll get kicked from the game without any warning and be unable to play until your internet comes back.    … Expand

    5.8/10.

    Unfortunately I found Grid Legends to be very bland which is surprising as I enjoyed Grid and Grid 2 on PS3. I also liked Dirt 1-4 and Dirt Rally. I'm not sure what's going on at Codemasters but this, Dirt 5 and Onrush have been really underwhelming. First off the good. It works, looks decent, runs fine and I got it from PS Plus. There is a good amount of tracks and cars.    5.8/10.

    First off the good. It works, looks decent, runs fine and I got it from PS Plus. There is a good amount of tracks and cars. It's kind of fun just driving with reckless abandon, smashing into other cars and clipping walls.

    The biggest problem this game has is the way cars feel to drive, which is a massive issue for a racing game. They don't behave at all like you expect a car to, the physics are just weird. Driving feels stiff and simple, you really need to try hard to lose control. For example you can drive a RWD car in the wet with no traction control and just floor it without any concern for wheel spin. It's like the developers didn't want you to be able to fail. So it's not realistic at all but it also doesn't deliver arcade fun. It also does not find a balance between realism and arcade thrills. It is just bland.

    The story mode was thoroughly boring and I quickly started skipping cut scenes. The career mode is grindy and you get tired as one dull race bleeds into another. You can try to keep things fresh by constantly changing the type of vehicle you are racing. I found the stadium trucks to be the highlight. There is also drifting which they also somehow made kind of boring. It's like the whole game was made as safe and uninspired as possible. They didn't want to allow players to suck at it.

    I haven't decided yet if I'm going to stop playing this game or grind it out some more in short bursts from time to time. It's not very good but doesn't do enough to make me hate it. I can't recommend Grid Legends unless you got it with PS Plus or are desperate for another racing game.

    Graphically, the game doesn't do too poorly, although a comparison with last year's Forza Horizon 5 wouldn't make it a winner. Grid is more thrilling, can be pleasantly fresh thanks to the different types of races like elimination, and even if it doesn't use DualSense as well as Gran Turismo, it's still a solid racing game that is sure to entertain with its variety of cars, tracks, and well-handled multiplayer.

    If you are a GRID fan and want to have lots of fun with the newest entry of the series, GRID Legends is a nice addition to your library. But if you are looking for a more realistic approach instead of an arcade one, maybe you should probably look elsewhere.

    Grid Legends is a distinguished racing game, specially by its story in the "documentary" style - one of the best I've seen in games of the genre - despite being cliché and leaving the player in the background. This is a great racing game. It's a shame it was "squeezed" into a season with many equally excellent games vying for attention. Going head to head against Forza Horizon 5 and Gran Turismo 7 isn't easy, but Grid Legends brings its own identity and shows that the genre has much more to offer.
