5 out of 5 stars Best racing sim to date!   November 18, 1999
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

True this is a very difficult sim to master but patience pays off! You MUST practice with the lower powered cars or you will be totally frustrated. Once you "graduate" to the big leagues there is no other sim that lets you drive with your throttle like it was done back in the 60's with these fire breathers. I can't express the excitement of setting up for a high speed turn and then using the throttle more than the wheel to get me through fast! I used to watch these races as a teenager - showing my age ;) This is not a sim for people who like arcade style driving. But if you are willing to spend some time with this one you will be rewarded with an exciting driving experience.


2 out of 5 stars Way too difficult!   November 16, 1999

A great concept, but very, very difficult. While claiming to be an exceptionally accurate racing sim, I find it hard to believe that one of these cars will spin out of control while rounding a corner at only 30 mph! My Montero suv can do better than that. The sounds are terrific, but that's not enough.


5 out of 5 stars It's not that bad...   November 16, 1999

... once you install the two patches that have been released for Grand Prix Legends. These patches include much better car setups.

In addition, there are many web sites that feature additional setups that make the cars even easier to drive.

The patches also have added support for force feedback controllers.

Once you get the hang of Grand Prix Legends, it is an incredibly rewarding game to drive. But if you hop in the high-powered Grand Prix cars without taking some time to figure out the Trainers, you're going to spend a lot of time being a part of the scenery.


4 out of 5 stars The most realalistic.... but almost impossible to master   November 11, 1999
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The feel of this game is incredible, the sounds are so real you will be transported back in time, but it is very difficult to learn how to compete with the computer controlled cars. You may ahve to be content with continually besting your own time in qualifying.


5 out of 5 stars A tough but very satisfying driving sim   November 10, 1999
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Definitely a big-league racing simulation - not for beginners. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever gone more than 2 or 3 laps without crashing! However, this is the perfect toy for someone who is ready to graduate from some of the less challenging racing games. The differences between the cars is dramatic; the twitchiness of the cars will give you new appreciation of what it takes to keep a high-strung race car under control. Virtually impossible to drive without a racing wheel attachment for your PC -- way too frustrating with a joystick. Serious gamers use this for online racing leagues; I'm not ready for that yet, but hope to be there some day.
