Grid Legends

GRID Legends PS4 Review Adding a story to a racing game is akin to inviting Jacob Rees-Mogg to a birthday party. It’s entirely unnecessary, it creates a fetid atmosphere and it will really upset the children. So why Codemasters have returned to crowbarring a narrative into their technically impressive arcade racing simulations is either a vain attempt to attract non purists to the genre or perhaps the developers are trying to the stem the boredom of churning out another update by delving into low-rent drama. FMV and real ‘acting’ has been employed for this particular instalment and it doesn’t bode well for GRID Legends: The Movie, despite the eccentric casting of Tom Hanks as the ghost of Max Hastings.

Although its addition of plot and characters doesn’t quite work the racing action is as thrilling as ever, with a huge diversity of vehicles and the compelling handling fans have come to expect from the series.
