They do indeed lunge for you when they’re triggered, which is fun, but the actual criteria for them turning against you feels arbitrary. Just look at his smug little face.Ĭomplementing this is the returning Nemesis feature, which turns AI opponents nasty if you bump into them too much. I genuinely wanted to beat him and the rest of the core cast every time I saw their names in front of me. It makes a huge difference to your emotional investment when you have a named rival to chase during races, and Grid Legends leverages McKane’s presence to great effect. But what wholly justifies the inclusion of the story mode is that all-important sense of rivalry.

It’s of similar quality, so if you enjoyed that then you should like this too, though it’s perhaps fair to point out that there’s only so much you can do when it comes to a racing game story. While the story is reasonably well-scripted and acted by the ensemble cast, it nonetheless feels almost exactly like Braking Point, the CG-rendered story mode from F1 2021. It’s great to put a face to that name after all these years and he’s suitable greasy.

Channeling Codemasters' own TOCA Race Driver 2 from 2004, there are cutscenes before each of the races in Story Mode, as you join the struggling Seneca racing team and take on long-time rivals Ravenwest with their star driver, Nathan McKane. The second biggest change is that headline addition of a live-action story mode. Even though your car slides at every opportunity, it’s actually disguising the fact there’s a great deal of grip here, making for an enjoyable experience whatever your skill level.

It just didn’t feel quite right in the last game, whereas here it’s arguably the most playable handling system of any modern racer that doesn’t have ‘Kart’ in its title.

No, not the added story mode, it’s more fundamental than that it’s the handling. It is very clearly similar to 2019’s Grid reboot, although there is immediately one thing that’s changed that makes this offering worth the upgrade. Instantly beautiful, fast and playable, Grid Legends provides the perfect counterpoint to serious sim racing. Super-slick, arcade-leaning racing from Codemasters, now with better handling and a live-action story mode to enjoy.
