Of course, no one doubted that they were already preparing a new racing design, but he came out surprisingly fast. And it is not an addition to the GTR, not the second part with the added season of 2005. It is completely new, independent game development on which other companies would have taken years to come! And before its release turned to a grandiose hype - hundreds of articles in journals and queues in shops. But all this is not about SimBin, no one here to hunt for numbers and a lot of money here is just working the fans of his craft, producing games that they like themselves.

GT Legends, like its predecessor, GTR, provides players with an interesting opportunity to observe the dynamic change of day and night. This means that you will be able to participate in this twenty-four-race. Enjoy the colorful sunset and sunrise, all as in life.

What I did was such a long entry, and so praised SimBin? It's simple: just so excited and calls them a new game - GT Legends. Beautiful as elaborated in detail and with absolutely no pretensions to world domination and conquest of the universe at the expense of thousands of new splashes and neon lights of the bottoms. GT Legends - a real, hardcore racing car simulator, to the marrow of their bones of iron.
Here, you will not find a newfangled car tuning, or the general low-profile rubber, or a favorite of all in recent years, nitrous oxide. There is no vinyl, streets and other stritreysingovoy tinsel. Here, it is not the car who looks like a spaceship, and hundreds of flashing lights, like a Christmas tree, but the one who drives a better car and understands them.
| Analog grip |
I would like to again emphasize that GT Legends, as the GTR: FIA GT Racing Game, is a real simulator, and therefore fully supports analog clutch and manual gearbox.If you - the happy owner of the third pedal, you will be able to fully experience the driving.

Of course, someone is such a game may seem boring and fresh. Judge for yourself: all ninety machines present in the game, mentally long been outdated, as are a full copy of the most popular models 60 70. All eleven tracks are included in the game - ring the desert tracks. And any story you motivated. Even more: there is no sensible career mode. No fine-tuning the machine, upgrade the brake pads and tinted glasses. Any race lasts less than five laps, and even forty or fifty. Boredom is incredible.
But if you are in truth like cars and motor racing, then tear you from passing the next race in the GT Legends will be able to except a natural disaster or power outage. The game draws from his head and holding in his arms until the last lap of the last track. What's the secret? And there is no secret! There is just one of the best Racing game today. Physics worked out great. Each machine behaves differently. Small nimble Mini Cooper or Lotus Cortina strikingly different from the behavior of such monsters as the Ford Mustang or the AC Cobra. What can we say about the huge Chevrolet Corvette or Porsche's fast paced 906. Adhesion to the road wheels, weight distribution in the maneuvers, the suspension - all passed just fantastic! Greater realism can be achieved only by placing the player in this car.
| Without which it can not ride a car |
If the veracity of the behavior of vehicles on the road, we doubt not, that's a realistic damage we still doubted. It is not made of cast iron were also made by machine in the 70's, right? But GT Legends is trying to convince us otherwise. No, of course, from the strong collision cars crumple and even lose some spare parts such as bumpers and splashes. Sometimes crack and fall off the hood lights. But what is most offensive, doors and remain tightly welded to the hull, and the behavior of the machine that damage affects only slightly. Another thing is that the game is still, and technical failure, not associated with collisions.For example, by switching from the fourth transfer immediately to the first motor may just explode!
 | |  | Each machine is not only its own dashboard, but also very different angles of view from the cockpit. | | Collisions in the game passed pretty good, but the damage caused by them - badly. |
In the meantime, this method, developers have not yet invented, will play in GT Legends. The benefit it provides an opportunity to sit in a huge number of different sports cars. And do not watch them from the radio-controlled modelka or tinker with a view of the back, namely, to sit in the cockpit! For each car created a separate, accurate to one hundred, cockpit. All devices are on the same place and look exactly the same as in life. Moreover, for greater realism, you can single click in options include high-resolution textures inside the cabin. Panel, upholstered wood, it will look exactly as it should. Scrapes and scratches would be nice to please the eye and remind that this is a real sports car, not a child's toy.
| Chorus of eight-cylinder engine |
In addition to the elaborated interior machines, developers have paid due attention to sound in the game. Therefore, each machine has its own unique "voice" as something in their own spits out the muffler, clutch grinds and creaks tires. And what could be better than dimensional rumble of a powerful engine?
 | |  | GT Legends offers us a unique opportunity to evaluate the development of car 70's both outside and inside. Look at this beauty! And yet for each model recreate his own, until a reliable cog, cockpit! | | Detailing in the game is simply amazing. All the fine Circuits body and paint machine perfectly transferred to the virtual space. Do not fall behind and various special effects such as flashes of fire from the pipes. |
But, of course, SimBin would not SimBin'om if it pays attention only to interior decoration machinery. And the appearance of cars, and details of routes is also at altitude. And use all the features the latest DirectX and modern cards leads to downright zavorazhivayuschemu picture quality. "Is everything in the game so perfectly?" - You ask. No, of course, there are some flaws. Paying almost all the processing time of physics and the creation of a plausible external and internal form of machines, the developers have forgotten about the career mode. They could make a really amazing journey into the past. License not only cars that now have, say, FIA Historic Racing Championships, and give players the opportunity to participate in those tournaments seventies-eighties, it was with those riders who have spoken in a while. Highlight any specific events that occurred while on the tracks. We devote to history tracks Monza, Hockenheim and Donnington.After all, they included a game of "helpers" of the machine for beginners, why not make it more friendly and interesting for those who are not familiar with the history of motorsport?
But in the end we still have one of the best games of motorsports in the history of the genre. Beautiful, realistic, affordable and beginners and professionals. Standing alongside such masterpieces as Richard Burns Rally and Grand Prix Legends, but giving no opportunity to sit in a categorical sports car, a Mini Cooper or a Ford Mustang. Therefore, if you love cars, motor sports and auto simulators, the question of the advisability of purchasing this game does not even arise.
| Do not like complexity? |
For beginners who do not know how to behave on the road this car, the game offers you a lot of "helpers." They will allow them, not bothering to study the difference between the front and rear wheel drive, just enjoy the race. However, including them, you are depriving yourself of the main trump card game - full control over the machine.
