Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends

how can i set my controller for this

Game is okay, there are online services still up including leaderboards and multiplayer (no one is there though). If you're interested in Ferrari story and cars - you can try

Its just okay. It's basically a bare bones version of Need for Speed: Shift 2 with only Ferarris. The physics and feedback is nearly identical except dumbed down. Just like how Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed celebrates Porsches, this game is similar but with Ferraris and not nearly as much content and creativity put into it. The game can be fun at times but the overwhelming majority of it is boring and very repetitive and a low variety of features. There's a Campaign mode, quick race, and Time Attack mode like you'd expect in a typical track-based racing game. The campaign mode has 3 different time period eras to choose from: 1940s to 1970s, 1970s to 1990, and 1990 to modern. Each Era has a list of a series of 'scenarios' to progress through in which you are placed in such as a Qualifying event to obtain the fastest lap time, racing to obtain 3rd place and up, and even an event where you race around a track with "Movie actors" and have to make them look good by only placing 3rd in the end. Each scenario is given a small contextual background story to it, your main goal and a secondary optional objective to achieve (for absolutely no award for achieving). Each scenario has 3 optional difficulty levels to choose from which each gives a slightly different main objective to achieve. As you progress through the scenarios, new ones get unlocked and completing some of them unlocks tracks and cars you can select for quick race, time trial, and multiplayer. Overall this game is very repetitive and boring the overwhelming majority of the time. From scenario to scenario, you will be racing on the same tracks in the same cars with the same objectives so many times that it becomes a chore to play just to unlock the next scenario. It's more repetitive than my usage of the word "scenario". The AI is terriblly incompetent because they are low skilled and hilariously are easy to pass on the first or second corner even in hard difficulty and will crash and flip over on their own by tripping on eachother's shoe laces so to speak. The AI will very often engage in weird, unnatural driving behavior like zig zagging during a straight like their distracted scrolling on their phone. This game is a well polished port and runs very smooth on my Windows 11 PC with a core i9 14900k and RTX 2080 SUPER. No fixes were needed for me but unfortunately has GFWL which is mandatory to sign in to a profile in order to save the game. It shockingly signs in flawlessly and there are even Achievements for this game that can be earned on the GFWL side of it but not on
your Steam profile. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this game for the full price of $20 as it feels like bare minimum effort for this project was put in even for the time that it was released. You can get NFS Shift on Ebay for around the same price with Ferarri DLC that you can install in the game files that is linked on pcgamingwiki.com. It is way more feature complete and you'll have a much better time with it.

its still good to this day holy shit

This game is worth of attention. Really fun to play!

Just one downside - tyre wear model is a disaster. It doesn't matter how you drive, but how many laps you've done in a race. So in some long races, whatever you do, the last few laps will be a nightmare to do without spinning out on every corner. And here comes another thing - if there is a tyre wear, when in some cases the car stops being drive-able, why are there no pit stops?

But rather than this, it's brilliant! All games got some faults after all.

Just play the game ( If you like these types of car simulation games Your LOve THIs ONE )

one of the best games in PLAYABILITY, and speed feeling. BUY IT! APPROVED!

This game is reeeally boring, tracks are way too few and repeating way too frequently...
Honestly, they could have taken the idea of NFS Porsche Unleashed/2000 and just improve it...
At first in 2012 I thought, wow, finally we gonna get a NFS Porsche Unleashed but with Ferraris!
Now, nope, this is definately not the case!
I've considered this game for a long time now, but it has never been on sale...
Tbh this deserves maxinum half of the price I've bought if for, if not less...

Edit: this game feels really soulless, also while proceeding, you notice, that it's really repetitive (speaking of the limitation of tracks), and also starting to get unnecessarily hard at times... I stopped playing at the Debris Avoidance mission, now that annoyed the hell out of me!
