Unfortunately, it seems that the vast majority of these tracks have been imported straight from previous GRID games, and the appeal of having to learn the circuits is therefore lost on anyone who has grown up with a Codies racer. It all looks good in terms of the tracks you find yourself racing around too, with Codemasters once again taking you around the world, throwing you behind the wheel of cars that are requested to tame the mean streets of many a city London, Brands Hatch, Moscow, Indianapolis, Barcelona, Sydney, San Fran and more are all present. There’s obviously a major difference between racing a little stock Mini Miglia and a huge Super Truck. No matter what your camera angle – and there are a few – you’ll always know what car you are racing in, whether that be due to the visual look, the feel that Codemasters have infused into the vehicle in question, or its sound.
The cars look good too, never on Forza Horizon 5 levels of detail but acceptable none-the-less. There are those Electric racers too (the future of motorsport), with the added joy of Boost gates adding a little more strategy to the events, whilst certain Special one-off vehicles make up the roster. Aside from the Stadium Trucks that rarely excite, and the drifting which just annoys (and I fully understand that will be a personal thing), you’ll find vehicles having homes in Touring, Tuner, GT, Track Day and Open Wheel Racing categories – each of which require a slightly different driving style for success to be found. Some of the cars you’ll be racing in are real treats too. For a story to cover a racing season, it’s a good effort. There’s a nice roster of main characters involved in Driven to Glory and whilst I’m not overly sure that all the actors hit their mark with every line, it’s a well created docu-racer that comes with a ton of twists and turns. From there, the usual glitz and glamour of motorsport plays out as you look to prove yourself to your team owner, your teammates and those who race alongside you.

Playing out across thirty-six chapters of racing, each split with brilliantly filmed cutscenes highly reminiscent of Drive to Survive, it sees you joining the rookie team of Seneca Racing, as their latest driver – Driver 22. Driven to Glory (yep, perhaps a less similar title would have been better) is a decent little attempt at providing some narrative to a genre that doesn’t necessarily need a narrative.

The new story is the main focus in what is on offer here though, most clearly inspired by the brilliant Netflix and F1 documentary series of Drive to Survive.

It’s by no means a mediocre title though, and for the right gamer, someone who wants hours of laid-back entertainment, it can be a source of great TV moments.It plays host to a ton of game modes, it covers even more vehicle classes, it’s got some nice solid online multiplayer opportunities and, in all, there’s enough to keep you racing for weeks and months on end. Perhaps the main problem of Grid Legends it is that it does everything relatively well but it does not stand out in any particular point, especially when we realize that it does not bring many new features with respect to the title released in 2019 (a couple of tracks and some new cars the story mode). You may or may not like this design decision, but it’s well done.Įngine sounds follow this line, they sound like what one imagines the car we are driving should sound like without necessarily respecting the purr they produce in real life. It is clear that at all times the developers cared more about style than realism. The car models look a bit “toy” to my eyes, but the real tracks seem to be extremely reliable and those created by Codemasters They always have at least one memorable atmosphere. The graphic section is very good, especially because there are hardly any jerks and we stay at a very comfortable 60fps at all times.
