Software Reviews of GT Legends
Customer Review: Good Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
When I rec'd the game I thought, your usual driving game with ok options. I was presently surprised that this game is not for everyone. You will need to concentrate and learn the game in order to obtain all of 90 cars! The realism and graphics are amazing. Good buy.Customer Review: Great time with this game !!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a game that had the old 70's Trans Am race cars in it. While this game does not have those specific cars, the ones that it does have are very well done, and with the availability of many of the old tracks in the US via several race game websites, it is possible to come pretty close to simulating the Trans Am races. With all of the car and track dynamics that this game uses, it really is less of a game and more of a simulation. The great old American cars, Vettes and Mustangs, are real beasts to drive, while the European cars, the Lotuses and such are much more refined and handle smoother, very much like the real cars do. I did a little extra research and figured out how to create and add my own custom skins into the game which gives it a little more personal feel. I am playing now with adding in new cars that do not exist in the original game such as a Camaro or Challenger. We'll see how that goes, although it is possible as others have done so :) The only reason that I did not give this game 5 stars is that it is very difficult to play with just the keyboard or game pad. I was able to play, but the experience left something to be desired. I ended up spending about a hundred bucks for the Logitech Momo wheel and pedals and this GREATLY improved the play and feel of the game. I highly recommend this game, but for the fullest experience, you need a wheel and pedals and if you don't have them, which I didn't, it is an extra expense.Customer Review: beware of Starforce copy protection
Summary: 1 Stars
Do yourself a favor and do an online search for "Starforce copy protection" before you install this game on your PC. Also, there's an earlier review that gives a lot of the same information you can go find yourself. Bottom line: this game will install drivers on your PC (without asking or telling you) that interfere with your own legitimate use of your own devices. Further, uninstalling the game won't remove them. They open up big security holes too. Nasty stuff. Think twice.Customer Review: GT Legends
Summary: 3 Stars
I found GT Legends to be a very realistic game. Plenty of user controlled variables. Tracks, at least the ones I could get to, were well represented and realistic. While I found the graphics quality good, the overall presentation was somewhat plain. I would have expected a little more "punch" to the visual representation of the tracks.
I was quit disappointed with the fact that so few tracks are available at the start. I am a firm believer that if I paid for the whole game I should have access to the whole game no matter what my skill level. This idea of having to find cheat codes to play the whole game is a bunch of bull. Finally, 3 CD'S is a hassle why not a DVD option.
Customer Review: Virtual Vintage Racing
Summary: 5 Stars
Ratings relative to other racing games. No doubt if this is your thing you will like this game. It's not an arcade game like GTA or NFS but is intended and seems to succeed as simulation. Several help / assists make it easier for rookies. Extrordinarily difficult on maximum settings, but satisfying if you "dumb down" the competition a bit, otherwise the learning curve and intensity is extreme. On line play available but expect to contend with both obsessed and extremely skilled components as well as crash happy losers. I would consider this the most compelling and perhaps realistic racing simulation around. Fabulous 3D rendering really requires current high end hardware. Using with a MacBook Pro (XP on boot camp) it works really well. Hate to admit of how much time I've spent playing this. Way cheaper than running real race cars and a lot safer. Works great with the Logitech G25. Problems: Missing online code available from manufacturer via e-mail. Starforce copy protection is annoying (requires original disk in drive) but has not caused any problems that I am aware of.
