Software Reviews of GT Legends
Customer Review: REALISTIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding! The copy protection kind of stinks but the software itself is GREAT! Very, very realistic driving experience. On-screen performance matches the true vehicle's performance. Many customizaton options. I did end up downloading a "cheat" to give me more options rather than win them racing 4 cylinder econo-racers but the overall experience is outstanding! I would highly recommend this software to any racing enthusiast!Customer Review: Missing the online registration code
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a cool game in a lot of ways. I was jazzed about it because of the era it represents. But the complexity and inscrutability of the setup menus is somewhat offputting.
The huge disapointment, however, is this: The online registration code is missing. Utterly missing. And there is no resource available on the net to help. The U.S.A. help number is disconnected. You will not be able to play online. Period. The developer's forums are full of posts about this problem. No resolution.... Beware.
Demand more of the makers of the products you purchase. This is extremely bad.
Customer Review: GT Legends Review
Summary: 5 Stars
SimBin makes an excellent simulator. This game has brought me back to days days of yesteryear in great delight. The physics, sounds, and graphics are top notch. The game is fun and the ranks seriously tough. Online capabilities are fine except you have to unlock cars and tracks through the game, which could take weeks.Customer Review: Great fun in the vintage cars
Summary: 3 Stars
I have GTR also, and it runs much better on my system than GTL does. With GTL they have raised the bar as far as system requirements. The old 128mb on video no longer will do the job..
I think it's just fine as long as I set up the races myself and limit the number of Ai to about 8-10 (MOST tracks) but if you run the "Challenges" (which you need to do to make money to buy cars and unlock tracks) it is written to include as many as 23 Ai in some of them and the FPS can drop out the bottom when you need it the least.
Yes, GT"R" will have some stutter now and then, but nothing like GT"L" is doing on the same PC. AND, with everything turned down too..
Even worse.. FPS swing from 80 to 10 while you're in a Challenge making it very hard to even finish a race let alone WIN.
I'll admit, my video card is a couple of years old now (ATI 9800 pro) but I really thought it would run as well as GTR.
Just fine if you limit Ai and graphics,(when outside Challenges) lots of fun with retro cars.
Running on a P4 3ghz, 1024mb 400 Crucial-3200 ram, ATI 9800 Pro AIW,
GTL Will make a great sim for my NEXT system I guess.
Update:
5% CPU overclocking helped a bunch with smoothness.. but still has some slow downs now and then. I'm sure latest video card would do wonders for it.
Update 2;
Pulled out the ATI 9800 pro and installed a GeForce 7600 GS OC 512mb card & doubled the RAM to 2GB
Just what it needed ! Runs well with lots of detail..
Would move it to 4 stars now if I could..
Customer Review: Getting the power down....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is no GTR, but it shouldn't be either.
Being a huge Simbin fan I have to say the GTR series are still the best.
Although there are times when GT Legends historic cars can be quite the challenge, and really a blast to drive....and in the end, thats what its all about.
