The smooth textures of both car and track are so well done that I can safely say I have yet to see a game of this graphical quality to date. Smoking your tires around the corners, skid markings recorded to perfection (allowing you to repeat your more spectacular crashes to a frame) the detail included is just. A fully functional and interactive 3D dashboard gives you all the information available for your car as you blaze your way down the track through tight corners and fast straightaways. Everything from the spinning wheels to the bouncing suspension has been animated almost to perfection. Needless to say 3DFX is both supported and utilized fully.
Sporting an all new 3D engine from Papyrus, the textures, shading and detail levels achieved in GPL will set a benchmark for future racing sims. If you looked up 'unbelievable' in ye-old-dictionary it would have to say `see Grand-Prix Legends'. Initially promised for first quarter '98, Grand Prix Legends is a title I feel was worth the wait.
True physics and track-detail all swiftly drag you into a game that, for the racing enthusiast, brings it all home. The researchers at Papyrus seemed to have left few stones unturned in gathering infinite amounts of data to bring this title to life. GPL takes you back to 1967 in, what I feel, could be the racing sim game of the year. Firstly, I must confess I am a bit of a classic racing freak, so I appreciated the opportunity to dig into this long delayed product from the Sierra-Motorsports division. The boys at Papyrus went to the wall with this title. machine, no corporate sponsors and no 5 point racing harnesses to hold you back. Come with me on a cruise down memory lane to a time when it was just man vs. Days when drivers had to carve their path to victory without the benefits of computerized suspension, fuel-injection monitors and anti-lock braking systems. Grand Prix Legends takes you back to the earliest days of Grand Prix racing. V12 engines screaming for mercy at 11,000 RPM's. the pavement flying scant inches beneath the bottom of your seat.
