    Long time Race Driver: GRID (It'll always be known as that to me) fan here and I have loved the series since the first game and even as recent as last year I replayed the first game and it felt like it had a lot of personality and soul and joy invested into it.

    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.    … Expand

    It's not a bad Racing game at all, but - which is the reason to buy this now, instead of waiting for an 20 Dollar sale? Average graphics, average gameplay, the Story is better than expected and i'm not the kind of player to like such Storytelling in an Racing game, but hey, it's acceptable!

    City races with much bling bling, fireworks, airplane shows... my godness. It's ok if you see it as Arcade racer, but you won't find anything that shows High Quality in this game. It's more like the game's hiding its weaknesses behind vivid colors and intense effects.

    And yeah, that's the a reason i can't say "Buy this one". The game is not bad, but compared to Codemasters earlier games, and exactly like Dirt 5 - this game is nothing more than a lifeless shell, without any competition in handling, driving and all the things that made Codemasters for the best Racing game studio they once habe been for sure. It's an typical AAA Racing game, with to much focus on a "Show" beside the Race track, but with nothing worth to seek deeper, because you just jump into the water and reach the ground at the same time.    … Expand

    I'm playing on a simrig and even though it's an arcade racer i really enjoy it. If you need to know how the steering feels it's like a mix of F1 and Dirt Rally and definetely the best GRID so far, and with all assists off and hard difficulty it becomes a great simcade.

You can't just push the cars without breaking in time, and if you dive into corners and brake too aggressive the car will slide out and you have to have some skills to hold it on track. Drifting races is spot on and you can really give all you got.

    Most of all it is a fun game without the frustration you get from the simracing games and if you are an experienced simracer, you can really show who's the boss because it's not that difficult to master.

    Grapchics, sound and the 1440p/120 fps mode is among the best on Xbox. Menus and all the different racing modes is similar to F1 and has a lot to offer for many hours.    … Expand

    I loved this game, I enjoyed the "Driven to Glory" story mode, but I definitely love the Career mode and the multiplayer, this is one of the best racing games of the last few years!

    Хорошая гонка, в меру реалистичная, с красивой графикой и бережным отношением к деталям. Лучшая гонка студии за последнее время, уж точно

    Good old GRID, game keeps the complete arcade feeling as previous tittles, but has short comings on technical aspects, framerate stuttering and some options not working as intended, replay mode allows me just to drive the car on start line

    GRID Legends is a very fun racing game. While it's far from perfection, it has great gameplay and very good depth.

    Does the GRID Legends video game Optimized for Xbox Series X in 4K Dolby Vision HDR and the immersive Dolby Atmos sound looks good? YES! This is the best-looking racing game ever!

    Wer den Game Pass hat, wird sich vermutlich fragen, ob man neben Forza Horizon noch einen anderen eher arcadelastigen Racer braucht. Da mich persönlich das Open World Konzept bei Rennspielen total nervt, habe ich mir Grid Legends zusätzlich gekauft. Folgende Stärken und Schwächen bewerte ich hier:

    + die Fahrphysik ist in den meisten Fällen bzw. Klassen gelungen aber trotz Tuning- und Modifikationsmöglichkeiten fühlt es sich semi-arcadig an. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass man schnell reinkommt und keine ausgiebiegen pre-Qualifyings o.Ä. braucht, um ein gutes Rennen zu fahren.
    + der Story Modus ist witzig und bietet eine kleine Seifen-Oper mit gewollter Ironie.
    + die Grafik kommt nicht an Forza ran, ist aber ziemlich gut mit leichten Abzüge bei den Umgebungen aber dafür mit schönen Boliden.
    + neben dem Story Modus kann man Karrieren in verschiedenen Klassen fahren. Man kann eigene Events kreieren, ebenso Online und es stehen regelmäßige Challenges zur Auswahl.

    - der Schwierigkeitsgrad variiert eher mit der Klasse der Autos als mit den Einstellungen im Optionsmenü. Bei vielen Rennen bin ich auf Experte alleine vorneweg gefahren. Dann gibt es Rennen, bei denen ich auf dem gleichen Schwierigkeitsgrad chancenlos bin.
    - die Truckrennen sollen Spaß machen, sind aber eher nervig
    - Driftrennen sorgten bei mir eher für Frust, da man lange Komboketten braucht und diese bei kleinster Berührung von Hindernissen auf Null gesetzt werden, was einen kompletten Neustart erforderlich macht.
    - Bei Berührung mit anderen Fahrzeugen landet man in der Regel immer selbst im Aus

    Trotz der negativen Punkte überwiegen aber ganz klar die positiven Aspekte des Spiels. Man bekommt viel Content und die Rennen sind meistens recht actiongeladen dank des "Rivalen"-Systems, bei dem sich gegnerische Fahrer merken, ob du agressiv und ruppig gegen sie gefahren bist. Das Prinzip der Rückblenden, das man auch von Forza kennt, verzeiht Fehler und zwingt einen nicht bei jedem Dreher zum Neustart. Der Motorensound ist ok, Musik ist eher unspektakulär, Sprachausgabe ist gut.
    Insgesamt ein schöner Racer und eine gute Ergänzung zu Forza.    … Expand

    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 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.

    Excellent 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.

    And if it's racing with a story that you're after, The Crew and Need for Speed franchisers have you well covered with their mix of outlandish, goofy storytelling and arcade style racing. Perhaps if Legends cut the story entirely, pared down the overly long career mode, and simply focused on being a multidisciplinary arcade racing game, it might find that niche it once occupied on the shelf, back when it was simply known as TOCA.

    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.

    GRID Legends opted this time to innovate with a story mode that feels somewhat unnecessary. However, it is important to mention that the game did not neglect any of the other aspects that make up a very attractive package for any fan of the genre and a great entry point for the curious and younger drivers.
