GT Legends - PC

Simbin hardly need an introduction – they are the award winning studio behind one of the PC’s best loved racing games: GTR FIA GT Racing Game. It’s a ‘does what it says on the tin’ kind of game, a game with an official FIA license that has a simple aim, namely to provide as realistic a racing sim as the player can handle. It’s an all inclusive type of game too, offering easy modes with plenty of assists to the novice, and challenging simulation modes to the keen racer, round accurately modelled tracks where every lump and bump has been lovingly crafted.

As everybody knows, cars are a bit boring these days. Certainly, they are capable of inspiring awe with their power and capabilities. But where’s the wistful admiration and longing that older cars inspire? Where are the sculpted, sensuous curves, the soulful, throbbing engines, the chrome, the character? All gone, gone the way of the wind tunnel, sacrificed for weight reduction, wind drag, efficiency. Everything is cheapened, the golden age long distant, as car manufacturers compete to make the most slug-like, nondescript car.

Now you can relive the glory days of motoring, as Simbin present to you GT Legends, a game packed with the wrought metal heroes of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Race in dream machines, build up a garage of elegant beauties and brash monsters, from the humble simplicity of the Mini Cooper to the thoroughbred purity of the Ferrari 275 GTB. Contrast the sure footed grace of the earliest Ford Cortinas with the road eating, tyre smoking lunacy of Shelby Cobra and Corvettes.

As you’ve come to expect from this crowd, the physics are spot on, with every effort made to bring you as close as possible to the unliveable dream of experiencing all these exotic creatures. Motor racing games don’t come more emotive, or with hairier chests, than this.
