A true racing gem that deserves to be praised. I understand for many is all about GT7, Forza, Assetto Corsa, F1, iRacing etc,..but I've been having lots of fun with this one lately mainly because of its simplicity which reminds me of classic gaming. This game wont force you to purchase or unlock anything if you dont want to. It already offers plenty, handles well, and looks the part. If you have friends to race with and a sim rig it gets even better.
The worst is that this game is waaaay better than GT7 and Forza ! Even the online is better. The single fact that it has a 2 hours story makes it better
The sense of speed in GRID Legends is an improvement too. When you're going fast, you'll feel it. I feel like GRID Legends just came at a bad time, nobody really gave it a chance. It's just very underrated.
GRID LEGENDS, according to Luke Reilly, supposed to be delayed till June 2023 (or after Nijigasaki Season 3 NEXT SKY OVA), or 2024 September (after Nijigasaki Season 4 Trilogy Movies Part I) to further develop GRID LEGENDS. It also planned to have 360 cars on the roster.
I spent 44+ hours on playing GRID LEGENDS due to how amazing the game is especially characters like Lara Vendano, Naomi Van Der Berg and McKane brothers.
One of the best racing titles for a good many years. Outplays even GT7 with it’s minimalist menu book ridiculous mode of play. If the Grid Legends devs included customisation & paint/decal/wraps it would outclass NFS which gets a mention in this video. Great camera options, I play 90% from the in-car driving seat position. Highly realistic as to real world driving. 10 out of 10 for Grid Legends 😊 Also, the drifting events in the original Race Driver Grid were superb, better than any racing game ever developed. Hopefully the next Grid title will be an improvement to what is already a great game.
One of the best, most approachable racers (especially for a sim style racer) I’ve played in a while. The story does a great job having you invested somewhat to your opponents, building your own storylines through gameplay. Played this just to test out about a week ago and haven’t put it down.
The Rewind feature actually helps you train to become a better driver as you learn how the game reacts to certain situations, allowing you to compensate for it in the future and you start relying on it less and less.
Not only did EA not market this game properly, but they also released it between Elden Ring and Gran Turismo 7, another behemoth racing game (on PlayStation though). When I heard that EA bought Codemasters, I became really concerned and have prepared myself for the death of this studio. For those unaware, EA purchases studios that make good/great games and start messing with their development to make them more money, resulting in poor quality games, less sales and ultimately shutdown of the studio. I think EA bought Codemasters because they have the F1 license and it's an annual money-maker like FIFA. But before the acquisition, I was mostly unbothered with F1 series because none of the Codemasters games had any kind of malicious designs like overdone microtransactions, pushing people to buy more and for more price, etc. The issues were mostly either subjective or just poor design, nothing that'll make you think that you were exploited playing their games. No matter how good their games are, Codemasters almost always have a solid handling that feels predictable and connects you well to your car. Since I follow NFS a lot, I know that EA doesn't give the studios enough resources to make a game that lives up to the expectations of the past titles, they're treated as lower priority studios and often get pulled to assist bigger studios on bigger projects like Battlefield, which is why NFS fans kinda hate that series now. I fear that Codemasters will suffer the same fate of neglect and unreasonable expectations. Lastly, I have to rant about the story mode... I don't understand why people keep saying this story is bad, cheesy, over-the-top, or cliche. You have no idea what any of those are. You're playing a sim-cade racing game where you bump an opponent out of your way and get no penalties. You do that IRL and you're gonna get banned, so you can't expect rEaLiSm from the story, it's written in a way that accommodates YOUR actions in the fictional world. All the characters feel like they belong in the story and have reasons to do what they're doing, and the best part is that none of them are annoying, like we see in most modern games. This game had one of the best stories among the racing games released recently.
I hate resident evil and will never cover them on my channel lol jk! I do plan on covering it at some point! But I want to do some stuff with the original and then do the remake. I intended to do it more timely but life got in the way lol. Plus it got universal praise and generally videos on my channel do better when they hit that underrated sweet spot. I’m an odd one, when I see people hating something I actually get more interested in it sometimes or if it is overlooked
@@joethealternativegamer3935 I hear you on that one. I guess I just wanted to know your opinion on the game since, to me, it's the greatest game ever made (the original), and the remake is pretty close imo. You have a nice day and keep these videos coming, my good sir.
@@wyptb6312 oh I am with ya! I loooooove the original! Honestly it is a game that doesn’t need to be remade but Capcom is good about the remakes and then making new titles!
Do not cover RE4!!! Hated that game back in the day, Hate it now! RE 4, 5, and 6 were all shit due to RE turning into more of an action game than a horror game. Thats why they did a complete 180 for RE 7 going back to the horror. So again DO NOT COVER RE4!
I’m like 12 races into the campaign and I’m easily finishing them in 1st place and I’m not good at racing games…does the campaign get more challenging or should I turn the difficulty up?
Man I picked up Forza 5 and was bored within an hour. This looks way more my speed especially with the story elements. Appreciate you shedding some light on it. It's on Game Pass right now so I'll check it out
@@joethealternativegamer3935 It's just wasn't for me. Seems like it's more focused toward playing with friends but the whole experience felt like it was tailored more toward kids. Like they just rain cars on you without having to earn them. I'm more into racers like Midnight Club and Tokyo Xtreme racer from back in the day
@@joethealternativegamer3935 Forza Horizon 5 does shower you with cars, as well as 4. On the other hand, the game has 500+ of them, so you'll still need to earn many of the best cars by playing. If that's a problem, I'd recommend 2 or 3, which are not as "gifty". 2 particularly has a more focused campaign too - 5 is a scattershot of ministories around different racing disciplines, and that may feel disjointed. The problem is that 2 and 3 are not on sale anymore. But I guess one can still find used copies around for a reasonable price. Forza Horizon is great, there's a reason why it has dominated the genre in terms of sales. Granted, it does so by catering a bit to what newer players like these days, but the basics are still great, its open worlds are amazing, and the games are always bursting at the seams with content. You can never go wrong with racing against a speeding train or a plane (no, seriously, they have THAT).
I still prefer FH5 and FH4 to Grid Legends as I've always loved Forza. But Grid Legends is still a great game, but FH5 and FH4 are fantastic games in my opinion!
I have 3 of these GRID games now - Grid Autosport, Grid 2, and now Grid Legends. If you now throw in Shift 2 and Project Cars 3 which I also have, gives me quite allot of variety of great Arcade racing. I also play these games in VR with the Quest 3 - most of them I use VORPX to give me the 3D viewing while racing. Project Cars 3 is the only one that does a good true VR viewing. I use a Thrustmaster TMX wheel controller for all the games and works very well. There were 2 other GRID games but for some reason wasn't aware of them or were not listed on STEAM when I first bought Grid Autosport.. Besides all my great SIM racing games, these to me are also fun to jump in, select a track or event, and do the short races on. We shall see if the Saga continues and will there will be another GRID game in the future. Thanks for the video, take care.
Grid legends is such an underrated game, i expected grid 2019 but nicer looking and instead i got the best racer i have ever played with tons of customisation, car and track variety. the ai is fun as hell and very challenging and the race creator is the best thing codemasters has put into one of their games. the game looks and sounds gorgeous too and its racing is both accessible to newcomers and hardened pros thanks to its great difficulty settings and tweakable ajustments to how the cars behave. its a shame it will probably get delisted in a few years because i really think this is the best racer codemasters has made, even compared to the original grid and the DiRT trilogy, its a spotless gem in there lineup. the game and DLC is a bit expensive though lol and in terms of ranking this with the rest of the seires i would say that this is the best one for me, then grid 2, then racedriver grid and then grid 2019 (i never played autosport lmao)
I got this for free (ps+) after main story and earning my up to semi pro i bought the dlc which was really good, except for the Derby dlc. This game is beautiful. I enjoyed getting a relaxed pro mode game an moving away from NFS style racing. Great gameplay and the chessy story is golden lol Fantastic Game in
Your comments on the marketing side of this make me so, so sad... because they're true. I didn't even catch the existence of NFS: Heat until a couple of months back, and that was in itself because I forgot about 2022's Unbound until I came across a video titled "NFS Unbound: close to greatness" or something to that effect. Granted, the series had a whole bunch of duds in the meantime (the 2015 reboot, Payback) that I had the chance to try and never really liked, so I tuned out of NFS. But I got Unbound now and I haven't been this happy with NFS since at least Hot Pursuit (the Criterion one). Same with Grid Legends. I had this game on PC since Prime Gaming gave it away, but never bothered to even install it. But when Unbound hooked me up on racing games once more, I started to (re-)install several of them to check them out. Legends was one of the best surprises I had in this journey. How a racing game this good could be overlooked? It's almost criminal. PS Plus users should not miss it this month. Myself, I am so happy with this game that I even bought a physical copy regardless. Getting two digital copies for "free" (through subscriptions) felt like cheating. Codemasters deserves money for this, it's just fair.
This game is the best racing game ever, the story mode took me about 3 hrs to complete but now im tuning cars and i like the way its not to technical to play, the graphics and game play is brilliant.
I just bought a PS5 and I bought Grid Legends as one of my games. I seen it was $10 new. I'm playing it now and I love this game. I just wish there was music in the races but I'd rather there be 0 music than bad music. Remember NFS Heat? That whole soundtrack in that game was some Latin salsa dancing music during the races.. It was horrible. Great game though I haven't touched a Gran Turismo game since PS3. Those racing games became SUPER boring to me. Never got the hype. It's a massive game but all the cars sound the same. Mustang sounds like a Civic. The racing felt incredibly slow compared to games like NFS.. Going 100mph feels 3x faster in NFS than going 200mph in Gran Turismo. I don't understand how that racing game is so slow but is rated the best. It's more like a RPG racer than a racing game to me. NFS remains my favorite but I like this Grid Legends.
Ime not great at arcade and sim games ,but i dont buy them for that reason, i buy them because there great fun, and at the end of the day, thats all that matters.😊
@@joethealternativegamer3935 I don't know... I just prefer original game over it.. I don't like over saturated driving games and prefer the ones with better contrast (and ofc the driving itself wasn't my thing).
I love Grid Legends! I have it due to getting it on ps+ (PS5) two months ago, but I've only played it today (08/07/2023). I have the standard edition, but I might get the deluxe edition upgrade and all the other dlc's soon! I still play FH4 and FH5 the most on my Xbox Series X!
Joe: thanks for the review on this one. As an original TOCA 2 and TOCA 3, die-hard, i did have hope for this title. Unfortunately, i just cannot get past all the exaggerated bright colors and *fireworks.* Every lap, seriously? It's a shame, because i love the generous array of dash/interior camera perspectives offered. That said, did you ever play the 6th gen TOCA Race Driver titles? IMO, TOCA 2 & TOCA 3 hold up very well, and consequently rank in my all-time top 40 Xbox titles. Take care, Joe. Vinny
@Joe, The Alternative Gamer OG Xbox and PS2. Seldom do I *ever* return to any racing titles prior to the 7th generation, however these are the two lone exceptions! In your case, I would probably recommend TOCA #3, as it's more or less a refined version of TOCA #2. Considering you're sophisticated pallete, I do believe you'll value these brother.
Worst racing game I have ever played. If you like to feel like a 5 year old again you should play it, if not save your money. Play anything else because this feels like it drives itself and so it kills the thrill... You want an arcade racer? Play Assetto Corsa with full TC and SC, the best "arcade" feeling you can get 👌
Do you want a trhill? buy a brand new car instead of a sim rig because thats what grow man do. right? Just being sarcastic in case if you didn't get it. this whole argument of "game is for kids" is a misjudging point. Also being an arse doesn't help.
@@b.1570 I may have agreed with you both. You both have a point. But when he said this is the worst driving game he ever played.. it's nonsense. I crave a challenging racer that I don't need to drive with a wheel & countless settings. This could be the one.
No, don't buy this shit. Playing a racing game with heavy/critical performance issues doesn't make any sense The performance are very bad on all platforms, next gen console in the specific. Don't listen the video author please
I despise the majority of the gaming community and also the people that the first GRID is worth a damn and to hell with everything else in the series, trying to be adamant in bringing down the relevance of this awesome game like it's a damn witch hunt, and that is exactly what it is, a witch hunt for this game! I'm very glad there is people like you that care a lot of this game, as do I. It's still 2023, and i'm still playing it, to hell with all the anti-grid morons that say that they love the Original Race Driver GRID and everything else is dead to them, those people make me sick. If you love action packed automobile racers, then you need to play this game a hundred percent. Project Cars 3 is also an awesome GRID-like game too, it's not a sequel to PC2, but it's awesome as a NFS Shift-like or GRID-like game that everyone should give a try.
Yea I’m a casual grid fan, and honestly need to play the original games! Legends is such a great racer and packed with content, something we want from big budget games!
@@joethealternativegamer3935 I'm a casual GRID fan too, and I love playing legends, it does not surpass the original game, but its the best game in the series since the very first installment. Such a gem.
The story mode is a shit woke fest, the career mode is GREAT, but people don't buy woke crap. i always have been a Grid player, this one i only bought last weekend with 80% off. I HATE the campaign, bullcrap story with woke crap all over the place and each race they simply throw you in a different category with a different car. Once you actually end the shit story mode the career is indeed awesome.
Thank you for watching!

This is one of the monthly on PS+ this month. Must give it a go.
It’s a great month!!
Is it also available on MICROSOFT GAME PASS?
And now with GRID Legends™: Deluxe Edition Mobile + all the DLCs for $13.49 (Under $10 in some countries), this is the best thing ever!

Variety of disciplines and tracks also are the main highlights.
I would say this is the most underrated racing game. Being able to modify your car would be nice and more tuning options but it’s really a great game
Agreed!

I like the actual driving better in grid than NFS.
The first person in car view is great.
I like the upgrades and progression better in nfs.

@@joethealternativegamer3935 I don't know... I just prefer original game over it.. I don't like over saturated driving games and prefer the ones with better contrast (and ofc the driving itself wasn't my thing).
@@emulation2369 ah ok! I understand ya better :)
I love Grid Legends! I have it due to getting it on ps+ (PS5) two months ago, but I've only played it today (08/07/2023).
I have the standard edition, but I might get the deluxe edition upgrade and all the other dlc's soon!
I still play FH4 and FH5 the most on my Xbox Series X!
They gave this shit away for free it sucks so bad. I still will never play it.
You are wrong and should feel bad!
Feral
Gives me RGR fibes.
What realism?😅
Joe: thanks for the review on this one. As an original TOCA 2 and TOCA 3, die-hard, i did have hope for this title. Unfortunately, i just cannot get past all the exaggerated bright colors and *fireworks.* Every lap, seriously? It's a shame, because i love the generous array of dash/interior camera perspectives offered. That said, did you ever play the 6th gen TOCA Race Driver titles? IMO, TOCA 2 & TOCA 3 hold up very well, and consequently rank in my all-time top 40 Xbox titles. Take care, Joe. Vinny
I have not! What are they on!?
@Joe, The Alternative Gamer OG Xbox and PS2. Seldom do I *ever* return to any racing titles prior to the 7th generation, however these are the two lone exceptions! In your case, I would probably recommend TOCA #3, as it's more or less a refined version of TOCA #2. Considering you're sophisticated pallete, I do believe you'll value these brother.
Worst racing game I have ever played. If you like to feel like a 5 year old again you should play it, if not save your money. Play anything else because this feels like it drives itself and so it kills the thrill...
You want an arcade racer? Play Assetto Corsa with full TC and SC, the best "arcade" feeling you can get 👌
Nazi
Do you want a trhill? buy a brand new car instead of a sim rig because thats what grow man do. right?
Just being sarcastic in case if you didn't get it. this whole argument of "game is for kids" is a misjudging point. Also being an arse doesn't help.
@@b.1570 I may have agreed with you both. You both have a point.
But when he said this is the worst driving game he ever played.. it's nonsense.
I crave a challenging racer that I don't need to drive with a wheel & countless settings.
This could be the one.
No, you play it..............ow wait you did
Lol!
No, don't buy this shit.
Playing a racing game with heavy/critical performance issues doesn't make any sense
The performance are very bad on all platforms, next gen console in the specific.
Don't listen the video author please
All games are simulators, arcades don't exist anymore.
I despise the majority of the gaming community and also the people that the first GRID is worth a damn and to hell with everything else in the series, trying to be adamant in bringing down the relevance of this awesome game like it's a damn witch hunt, and that is exactly what it is, a witch hunt for this game! I'm very glad there is people like you that care a lot of this game, as do I. It's still 2023, and i'm still playing it, to hell with all the anti-grid morons that say that they love the Original Race Driver GRID and everything else is dead to them, those people make me sick.
If you love action packed automobile racers, then you need to play this game a hundred percent. Project Cars 3 is also an awesome GRID-like game too, it's not a sequel to PC2, but it's awesome as a NFS Shift-like or GRID-like game that everyone should give a try.
Yea I’m a casual grid fan, and honestly need to play the original games! Legends is such a great racer and packed with content, something we want from big budget games!
@@joethealternativegamer3935 I'm a casual GRID fan too, and I love playing legends, it does not surpass the original game, but its the best game in the series since the very first installment. Such a gem.
iv just down loaded it,,, whats the online community like ?
The story mode is a shit woke fest, the career mode is GREAT, but people don't buy woke crap. i always have been a Grid player, this one i only bought last weekend with 80% off. I HATE the campaign, bullcrap story with woke crap all over the place and each race they simply throw you in a different category with a different car. Once you actually end the shit story mode the career is indeed awesome.
Oh boy🙄sorry the story mode isn’t dominated by white men. 🙄
Looks like i am late to this party. I have just started playing this and cant find many online.
