Specifically, from the name, of course - the game was made by the same people as the restart of Test Drive.
But from now on, you can not remember about the past parts of the series. Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends has nothing to do with them in terms of gameplay. If someone is waiting to see an open world here somewhere near Modena, join the local beau monde and bring sluggish models - pass by. There is nothing of this here, but there is a little saga - the Ferrari saga.
Dividing it into three conditional eras - golden, silver and modern, we are allowed to take a role not only in ordinary races, but also in historical races, in general, with a certain degree of conventionality - after all, cars of only one brand are presented in the video game. Any era is divided into a certain number of periods of a certain number of races in each, dedicated to one or two punishments.
All races take place only on racing tracks, while some of them were presented in different years of their existence. Each ride has 2 missions: main and additional. With all this, the main thing is not necessarily a simple one to come first to the podium, but sometimes a very sophisticated or imitating certain historical actions will have to move in one gear and overtake only one at a time. An additional order serves to complicate the main one and gain free access to cars and tracks.
Driving a car is quite pleasant. All movements of the alter ego in the cockpit and in the cabin are perfected and correspond to reality. But do not expect a real simulator and arcade from a video game - it is somewhere between them. Why somewhere? Yes, therefore, that it was not possible to comply with the level of difficulty throughout the video game. He jumps not only from chapter to chapter, but also between certain races in order on the same track and on the same car. There is a memory that the car options were changed at one moment, and nothing was said to the gamer. With all this, the first and greatest difficulties are caused by formula fireballs. And specifically - from the first ride in the Spa.
If earlier it was quite comfortable playing from the keyboard, then you should think about connecting the steering wheel when driving especially fast Ferraris. Especially sharply at such moments, the rewind ability is lacking, as in Grid 2 or Hot Pursuit. Which is very surprising, because in F1 2012 and, even more so, in F1 Challenge 99'-02', the keyboard controls perfectly cope with their own task. Enemies need to be given special attention - they look only forward, so the great importance of hitting the side with the next turn is guaranteed.
Visually looks great, but without frills. The only complaint is how it was possible to make a prancing horse on a golden field so carelessly? The size of the texture of the Ferrari emblem is terribly small, and despite the fact that it is located on virtually every steering wheel.
If you are a fan of good cars - take it, you just want to drive - you may frankly not like it. But no one has such a wide choice of Ferraris.
It is worth noting separately that now it is not required to download from an external source, very unhurried, like the previous part.
