Irrespective of the car you choose from the roster, it will glide smoothly on the tracks and respond to every command from you – no matter how subtle. From the silent buzz of electric cars to the loud roar of rally race machines, the sound design is fantastic. Plus, the cars sound amazing – the level of detail that Codemasters have achieved in their cars is commendable.

The weather effects are good and I personally liked the haptic feedback during turns and braking, even though the game doesn’t take full advantage of the feature. There’s a rewind feature that you can enable for use during such moments. But if you’ve made a mistake and would like to reverse its effects, don’t worry. It made an impact on me as a player – so much so that I found myself intentionally trading paint with other cars just to see how cool everything looked. Whenever I ended up crashing against other vehicles or other cars piled up on mine, the screen shakes, distorts a little and you’ll see some great particle effects. GRID Legends has stunning graphics and is a visual treat on PS5.

You’ve got over 130 routes to tear up and fling your car sideways in. You can drive iconic cars such as the Ginetta G40 GT5, Porsche 962C, Panoz Esperante GTR-1, Shelby Cobra 289 FIA, Audi A4 Quattro and Audi R8 1:1, speed past Buckingham Palance or Big Ben and take in the spectacular view. The Touring, Drift, Trucks, Specials, Electric, Open Wheel, Tuner, Track Day and GT categories are a dream come true for car enthusiasts. Due to this, you won’t feel “locked” with a race machine you don’t like, especially in the early game. Want to drive a car but don’t have enough money to buy it? You can choose to loan one and give away some of your end-of-race rewards in return. This is perfect – you can test out the car, figure out if you’ve got a grip on it and then decide to level it up.Īnother nice feature that I liked was the option to loan cars. What I found interesting about car upgrades is that the more you drive and clock up mileage, the more performance upgrades you can unlock for the car. Focus on completing Career milestones to get cars as a reward, but if you really have your heart set on a particular car, you can purchase them with in-game currency. You need to keep playing and progressing through the Career mode to unlock them. There are 9 categories of cars across 3 difficulty tiers of Amateur, Semi-Pro, and Pro. Once you find yourself immersed in the game, your selection of race-ready machines is going to turn into one stellar collection. The roster of cars includes modern hypercars, legendary prototype GTs, trucks, big rigs, muscle cars and more. Players can get everything they are looking for under one roof in Grid Legends. The story is simple, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and nothing out of the ordinary – but it’s pretty enjoyable. Your mission is to keep winning, challenge Ravenwest and prove yourself as the ultimate Grid Legend.

You’ve been hired as the second driver for the Seneca Racing team and now the pressure is on your shoulders to bring the team back to glory. The diverse cast does a good job and although the dialogues can be a bit cheesy, it still works well.ĭriven to Glory is about the underdog and you play as Driver 22, the new kid on the block. If the acting is sub-par, the live-action scenes can fall flat – but it isn’t the case in Grid Legends.

It might throw you off initially if you are used to seeing CGI characters, but I felt like it’s a welcome change. The story mode is short and its cutscenes are live-action, taken in interview footage style. There’s just so much to do that you will find yourself getting lost into the game for hours. Taking things up a notch is the crossplay feature which works very well.

For those who like to go head to head with other racers online, the multiplayer mode will deliver exactly what the thrill-seekers are looking for.
