  1. Easy to learn, easy to play, and easy to afford, Ford Mustang: The Legend Lives is a barely tolerable, exceedingly temporary fix for the financially restricted racing beginner.

    The lack of depth in the game's structure and driving system would deter most hardcore gamers from trying it, while the Mustang fans would be driven away by the over-competitive AI before you can start a Mustang's engine and warm it up.
  3. Sadly, where the game fails to excite most is behind the wheel, due to poor physics and handling. Drivers will rarely find the need to take their finger off the throttle or cease driving recklessly, as cars never suffer damage.
  4. There is really no need to get this game at all unless you are a massive fan of Mustangs but even then, there are better games out there that feature these classic V8 powered muscle machines and do everything better than what's on offer here.

    Let me start by saying that I am not a big "realistic racer" fan, I usually prefer kart racers like Crash Team Racing or Mario Kart. ThatLet me start by saying that I am not a big "realistic racer" fan, I usually prefer kart racers like Crash Team Racing or Mario Kart. That said, I do find some enjoyment in this game. It doesn't have a whole lot of variety and modes, but for what it's trying to be, it mostly succeeds in. I do find it to be a decent alternative to games like Gran Turismo. There are better options out there, but you can also do a whole lot worse than this game. Full Review »
