Grid Legends - Is it Worthabuy? 

Grid Leg Ends - perfect

I recall playing the original Grid and how much fun that was. You had a team manager that gave you updates during the race, you had a nemisis and their position would be highlighted throughout, they would also be better than the other AI on the field and compete with you for the top position. The other AI drivers had life to them, they would crash, spin etc and didn't feel like a scripted racer (Gran Turismo style etc) the replays were awesome to watch, it was like watching a movie with the shaky cam. And above all else, yes the sense of speed was amazing. Oh how much fun that game was

Mack Crashalot - a true polymath. A man of the world.

I still own the original Race Driver: Grid (2007). That's still a blast to play. A shame it's no longer for sale.

Is this a re-upload I could’ve sworn this game has been out for years

I have Race Driver Grid which was more sim orientated. It still holds up today.

Kudos to the developers/publishers for showing who the game is made for on their cover art.

I imagine owning a proper good game driving setup that's configured correctly enhances the experience significantly - and makes it easier. It's fun, but definitely different worlds, when playing a driving game with a controller.

One thing you didnt cover, but this is great fun multiplayer with friends. Basically set your house rules about the replay button, and let the fun commence: straight races or something closer to destructipn derby as you smash your way through the field. A great laugh

4:09 That was leg end air eee. Amazing how you to took the lead, so skillful. Lol

A black man, an asian woman and a pot plant set up a racing team... there's a Manning joke in there somewhere!

Mack, do a racing stream with a webcam pointed towards your wheel and Pedals. Would be great fun to watch

i love the grid games, they hit the best point of being real without requiring you to be a pro ( yeez, the dirt rally games are crazyhard )

i remember having an absolute blast in the muiltiplayer of grid 1 and 2 on the xbox360. if the online wasn't dead in these games then i would def play them again

Have you tried Wreckfest? Now THAT'S a brilliant racing game! [I like Grid too.]

This game just has more game modes, be it electric, demolition, touge, drift etc that weren't in Grid 2019. Plus the Career in this has actual depth, unlike 2019, where it was just do 10 races and you won this season. Definitely get this over 2019, this is the better package overall

"Grid leg ends" LMAO

Thanks was looking for a game I hadn't played yet with the wheel and I don't have the original and 75% sale now! Appreciate the review

Rise of Ravenwest was brilliant! Buy this DLC if you like GRID series!

Grid LegEnds, more like Grid BellEnds... amirite, amirite? :D

Grid is on sale for 12 dollars for me right now. This is very tempting.

About damn time you played this one Mack!

I need to get this out of my chest, the asphalt texture has the quality of an early xbox 360 game.

I look forward to seeing your Forza motorsport review is you get it when it comes out! I'm glad you're having fun with your new wheel and I hope your arm isn't impeding the enjoyment in any way.

Mack. Sounds like that new wheel is seeing some good action. Try out Assetto Corsa Competizione though. There’s no frills at all, just a fantastic immersive driving sim. I bought a new Thrustmaster wheel a couple of months ago and tried a lot of driving games. ACC was by far the best.

I liked the Career mode. It was campy in a Cobra Kai kinda way. Way better than just driving around a Forza Horizon map, looking for barn finds in the middle of nowhere.

If I want a story, I'll read a book.

Does it have VR support? cos once you play a racing game with a wheel/pedals and good VR support you dont ever wanna go back

Can't wait to see the review for The Crew Motorfest. Will the bells be ringing?

Racedriver: GRID was so good

Nice to finally know that I'm not the only one who has a satisfying, totally not weird habit of pronouncing "Legends" as "Leg Ends"

I found the handling a bit better and the graphics better as well. It also had more tracks like London and Moscow. On the negative side i dont think it sounded as good, particularly in the tunnels. I did have performance issues as well, particularly in Chicago when theres heavy rain.

is it just me or are the rear lights not nearly visible enough in the rain? they seem to just disappear after 10 meters

The rain effects are crazy.

It’s tripe, I tried it.

would love to play dirt rally on that wheel

The cover art instantly tells me this game is not for me.

Story Mode in F12021 was great.

I have a liking to these games, but I can imagine they are so much better with a wheel and pedals. With mouse and keyboard it is more difficult. But I lack a dedicated table for setup.

Best arcade racer series!

4:08 tf... xD

It's not a patch on Nigel Mansell's F1 on the Super Nintendo Mack. 😁

I saw the thumbnail and laughed... I know what you're going to say before I even watch!

Will you consider looking at Slime Rancher 2? You convinced me to get the first one and I loved it.

Hit this hard when it came out on PS5 for free - it's not bad, not great with plenty of cut scenes to skip, but put it down after maybe a week and haven't gone back. No idea why, but it makes my eyes go proper gammy when playing this - I think it's due to the poor draw distance (on console at least)

your motor sports reviews are the very reason i bought grid 2 and assetto corsa.

lol I play the career modes of these games. Highest difficulty, maxed race length

What a leg end intro

Leg ends 😂🤣

he said Leg Ends, lol

I already have Grid (2019) but I'm ignoring Mack's advice to not buying it "because it's the same game." Other reviews say: 'in addition of familiar racetracks seen in previous GRID games..." there are about 100 total of different racetracks, *including OFFICIAL reacetracks* and the same goes for the vehicles. And players can *create, save and share* their own custom-made racetracks..and rules! So, yeah! I'm buying! 😉

4:09 What in the LOBOTOMY happened here?!

Not much of a racer game fan, but I might try😊

Someone's bought a wheel!

More likely to get Grid 2019 on sale too...

Need for Speed 1 was pretty cool with a story, not too much but also not obnoxious Just a fun game that was back then

Problem with this game is that heat doesn't make rep so you don't get bank.

Are these games any good on keyboard Mack ? I don't have wheel. I was considering playing grid games since I hated most recent racing games overall.

Grid 2 was the best arcade racer ever.. so I am excited to see where this goes!

Great vid

Where is AC6 review Mack? Looking forward to your thoughts

Are you gonna review motorfest Mack? Cheers

I am playing GRID Legends, also carrer mode, and my impressions are: Driving is great, way better than NFS and the crew(both feels like smartphone games) Fisics are not ok, your car is paper and the AI car is rock AI sometimes sees you, other times totally ignores your car and crash on you, and because your car is paper, you'll spin on the road Graphics are great, cars needs upgrades in some races, forcing you to spend money

To me, this game is great at what it's trying to be, which is a more casual simcade. Plays well, the career mode is quite extensive, and it looks great. Grid was never full sim, so I don't understand people complaining that it isn't.

cover a woman with helmet: you go girl!

Its the same game since the ps3

LOL! *Leg Ends!???* 😭 *WHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!*

4:10 turtle shell wins 😂😂😂😂😂

you havent done a Doorkickers 2 review yet? I think you might like it

I just bought a copy for ps4 for $12 on EBay can’t wait to play

Who doesn't want to play a story mode in a racing game featuring a 100% diverse cast of stunning and brave characters?

Fun fact you can actually play this natively on a quest 2. Graphics are obviously potato but the ai and physics are the same. So considering you can run this on an old phone at superhigh resolution and framerate it's gotta be well optimised.

Mack Crashalot 🤣

Nice review for a game that came out about 2 years ago 😅

I am not a big racer fan, but man, G.T.R hooked me. We need a modern version.

The greatest modern circuit racer. And as much as I love it, thats also kind of sad

How do i gain access to your discord server Mack?

Ah, was wondering why this old game was only getting reviewed now... again?

Mack, play "race driver grid"! It's the original game (which the 2019 was a reboot of), and arguably the better one amongst the three. It's from 2008

Thought this game was alright when I played through it a few months ago. Still not a touch on the original Grid from 2008 though. I played the story just out of curiosity just to see how they would do it. Original Grid game is fantastic.

Diversity Leg ends

Don't knock electric, just used my new EGO electric mower for the first time and it was speckles-tacular.

If you liked Project Cars 2 then I think you will like Automobilista 2. Its also amazing in VR. Its my favorite sim at the moment.

Grid Legends despite being mostly the same as 2019, with the added dumb story elements nobody has asked for, the driving physics and handling are way better in this one. Just the overall weight of the cars makes a night and day difference and it makes them feel more connected to the road. Even if you own the previous one, this is just a way better package.

What is your favorite game genre?

Does this game have VR? I only play racing games in VR nowadays.

Are you going to Review Texas Chainsaw Massacre Game?

bro is doing anything he could to avoid playing Armored Core VI. Is it that bad?

Once you pronounce it as Leg Ends you can't say it any another way

You'd think racing games of all things would be all about the cars, but nah, even they need to push The Message🙄

I've come to Mac's reviews late, after years in the mainstream reviews wilderness. Now, I look forward to each new one, even if it's a game I've got zero interest in. Proper reviews by a passionate proper gamer, on a PC that's getting long in the tooth just like the majority of PC gamers (not everyone can afford /wants the latest RTX 609090909000 Extreme Edition that also makes your tea for you and puts you to bed with a Horlicks. ) Just like discussing games with someone down the pub....Please don't stop Mac x

Feels like the cars are made out of cardboard though

Are you going to do a star citizen review?

Hey Mack? What made you go with the TMX instead of the Logitech G29 or G920 wheels? The TMX was my very 1st wheel and I upgraded to the Logitech sets and never looked back. Just curious! Glad you’re having a great time.

Any difference between original grid and this?

You should try Assetto Corsa Competizione with your wheel. It's amazing.

Any plan to review iRace ?

£5 on Steam right now :) also works well on wheel

Asseto Corsa is only racing game i need..

1:03 What? Is that rendered CGI-footage or live action?
