[quote][b]Warning: Broken Game![/b] This game has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. The game crashes immediately to desktop on launch on the latest builds of Windows 10/11. The developer is fully aware of the broken state of the game.[/quote] GT Legends is an ancient game from 2005. It's a whopping 19 years old at the time of this review. The game hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from broken abandonware. A once-great simulationist track racing game, it's now obsolete and broken, superseded by games like Assetto Corsa and Project CARS. The game never really caught on with the millions of gamers on Steam, with a very low peak player count close to launch, and then just a handful of players launching this game every couple of days. This is undoubtedly caused by factors such as those raised in this review. It's always helpful with buying decisions to consider how popular and successful the product is, and unfortunately while this did accumulate a few participation trophy reviews, overall, people just aren't using it. Unethically, the developers have left this on the Steam store in an unplayable and broken state. It's the responsibility of the developer to maintain their product, ensure it runs on all modern PCs, or if they determine there's defects and the game doesn't work, they should remove it from sale instead of misleadingly trying to scam gamers into buying knowingly defective products. This is harmful to Steam and to gamers, not just because it's a direct and intentional attempt to scam people, but because it takes a share of the marketing space and visibility away from other games. It's polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuine games and for genuine indie developers who put months or years into making proper games find an audience. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? The developer is deliberately and unethically trying to scam gamers into paying them the cash grab price of $8 USD for a game they know is broken. Don't give it to them.

This Game is the pure definition of "Old but Gold"
The underrated GTL driving sim is old but strangely, the older it gets - the more sense it makes. Based on a dedicated race sim engine called ISI, GTL is pure with fun physics and zero unnecessary BS of today's racing sims. Surprisingly, this ancient sim engine reminds me of the behavior of a real car, a lot. GTL is from the golden age of racing sims that started with Sports Car GT and ended with DiRT Rally 2.0 with the likes of GTR2, RBR, AC, RR, BeamNG and various fun Coddie F1 games in-between. IMHO the genre started to go downhill since 2020, losing the right direction. It bogged too much into gatekeeping, snobbery, noise and cashgrab - while forgetting about the core: providing great pure driving experience from the very start. As such, GTL is not as detailed as some of later titles like AC - but it works fine and it can completely give the feel of ancient GT racing. As if you start from Steam it may mess it up, it is best to set GTLConfig.exe (setup) and GTL.exe (game start) to Windows 7 or XP SE3 compatibility mode, set them to run as admin and start the files directly via desktop links or file manager. The setup file may reset resolution/FPS randomly and you may have to save a couple of times before it gets stable parameters that start the game normally. Well, old cars are grumpy when starting. But after you get it work you can get a non-enshittified, pure, accessible driving experience. No less, no more. Oh, and it runs on a potato just fine. These had to function on low-spec machines back in the days. Also has nice communicative FFB. Don't be surprised if in this 2005 game's AI drivers are several times more intelligent than real life dumbfcuks on iRacing servers or present day racing sim AIs ramming you mindlessly. Here they react to you and the others, make realistic mistakes and after getting to the speed (learning the tracks and getting used to the physics) you can race wheel-to-wheel with them with no problem. Well, unless you are an online bumper car idiot. I still have the box version, from 2006 maybe? I've been always a fan.
This is a GREAT GAME well worth the time I have invested into it. This game is NOT for casual players I repeat NOT FOR CASUAL PLAYERS like any simracer game you HAVE To invest time and get your butt kicked a lot.
Maybe old...but so good! Based on the stunning ISI engine (rFactor 1, GTR1 & 2, Automobilista 1,...) it's a must have if you really love simulation at its peak. Remember: it's not polished graphics (AMS2, ACC,...) but what you get as an experience that brings you to full adrenaline.
pretty freakin awesome, but a few tips of advice: I: find the game exe in the game files and use compatibility mode with win. xp sp3. also run the game and config executable as admin. this allows the game to actually start. II: type the following string (/ meaning backslash): "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/GT Legends/GTL.exe" %command% into the launch options page for the game in steam. this allows it to keep track of playtime. III: when you launch the game, go into task manager, go to the details tab, find the game exe., right click and set the affinity to cpu 0 and 1. if you don't want to do this every time you start the game, you can install the free version of Process Lasso and set it to always keep the game's affinity to 2 threads. otherwise, the audio in the game will be really messed up. this game takes a lot of work to get working properly, but it's a lot of fun afterward.
Лучший автосимулятор гоночных машин 60-70х. Спустя 19 лет аналогов этой игре нет, если вообще когда нибудь будет. Я в нее играл лет 10 назад последний раз и сейчас возможности поиграть увы не имеется, поскольку руля уже давно нет, а он тут обязателен. Это, пожалуй, главный минус, хотя и надо учитывать, что это симулятор, а не аркадная хрень по типу need for speed, the crew и прочих леталок-стрелялок, коих наплодилось очень много за последние годы. Однако, вспомнив, приятное времяпровождение за этой игрой много лет назад, считаю просто грехом не поставить ей положительный отзыв.
This game is pure gold...ive been playing SimRacing games most of my gaming life, and i coming back to this one all of the times. Bougt this one when it came out on CD and played houndred of hours (still have it but cannot run it), so i bougt it again here on Steam. If youre a fan of an era when racing was manly sport and cars were absoulte gems (handling, sound, looks, no electronic assist garbage)...dont hesitate to get it, worth every damn penny...
says here i've played for 34 minutes of this cr@p. well, it's a lie. i was trying to launch the game for 34 minutes. with all the community guides on how to make it work on nVidia GPU. useless. absolutely useless cr@p.
