    A return to arcade, a return to the docks, a return to drifting, and a return to putting fun above all else. This is what Grid should be about, enough fun to be had with the story and career modes, but an absolute hoon with a couple of mates in multiplayer.

    While DIRT 5 and F1 2021 remain Codemasters' best racing games to date, GRID Legends runs a very close second, with an enjoyably daft Story mode, absorbing Career, and a wealth of options to fiddle with. Driven to Glory, indeed.

    All too often racing games follow the standard formula. Throw some fast cars and a bunch of tracks together, and gamers will probably enjoy themselves in silence. But when developers step off the beaten path, something magical can happen. This is the case with GRID Legends. Despite its shortcomings – the low difficulty, to name just one thing - it is one of the more enjoyable racing games of the moment.

    It’s an above-average experience, and one that is worth checking out if you’re a fan of arcade racers. The driving is fast, frenetic and fun, and there’s quite a bit of content to be found within. It also attempts to build on every aspect of the 2019 reboot, though I admittedly got into and enjoyed that game more.

    Grid Legends is certainly not a bad racing game and has a lot of redeeming qualities, yet it doesn’t quite live up to the high quality usually associated with Codemasters. Games like Forza Horizon 5 are more fun to play while the likes of F1 2021 and Dirt offer more realistic and challenging gameplay. The introduction of the unpredictable AI is a welcome step in the right direction, as are the improvements made compared to its predecessor. However, Grid Legends can’t shake a poor story mode that bogs down the action and will disappoint those expecting a cohesive and exciting narrative.

    Grid Legends is a sure step up from Grid 2019 – and its new story mode that looks all the way back to 2002’s TOCA Race Driver is a cute and effective flex for a racing series with such history – but it's definitely treading water in some core areas.

    Grid Legends doesn't do anything particularly wrong, but doesn't do anything particularly interesting either. Its racing gameplay is typically solid, as is the Codemasters way, but this studio has pushed the limits of the genre far higher in the past than it does with this relatively safe offering.

    More of a 7.5 but it’s an arcade shooters that maxes out the series x. Sometimes the frames drop but the graphics are beautiful. The story isMore of a 7.5 but it’s an arcade shooters that maxes out the series x. Sometimes the frames drop but the graphics are beautiful. The story is cliché but tolerable (by today’s standards). It’s not going to break any records but for a free arcade racer, it’s worthwhile. Expand

    Currently one of the best games in the GRID series. Improved gameplay with the controller. Multiplayer works. 8/10

    Can I say the same for GRID: Legends. Not really.
    While not necessarily a bad game, in fact the physics engine is a massive step up from 2019 it feels...Soulless. I don't feel like I'm progressing a team here I feel as if I'm just going through events one after the other.
    Every Grid since GRID 2 has felt the same and I feel Codies have lost their way with the series. My Advice? Go back to Race Driver: GRID. Re-learn what made that game so great. Build on it.

    I'd Love to see more team customisation and more of a feeling of progression.

    This is a series I have a real soft spot for but I'm afraid that its slowing becoming a cookie cutter cash in.

    Excellent presentation, it looks great especially on next gen machines and pc, however.....it feels soulless. By that I mean when you hold theExcellent presentation, it looks great especially on next gen machines and pc, however.....it feels soulless. By that I mean when you hold the controller in this game the feedback is none existent even when you turn all vibration up to 150. By this I mean it gives you feedback on turns and major bumps in the road, but you can't feel the road surface, so it feels like your floating around the course. It destroys the game for me I can't enjoy it as a result. Expand
