User Rating: 8 | Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends PS3
I
Testdrive FL has that split feel sim and sort of that arcade with exterior view, I lean more sim type.
Playing it on PS3 pads are some what twitchy. Turning is rapid even at the slightest hair movement right or left (in-car) view. I didn't find a setting for steering speed sensitivity. Its not a GT5 physics engine but very decent. I think FM4 has horrible game physics. The game is dedicated for Ferrari Fans only. I've read some reviews i couldn't agree to the comments. Todays racers are just used to customizing tunes and hundreds of makes.
TDFL is strictly ferrari, track and driver. Similar to this is the Porsche Unleashed. Tuning set ups don't exist, as Ferrari hands the car over thats what you get. Passion and your imagination is the only way you will enjoy the game.

My cons are:
Graphics needs tweaking (in car view) dials bit grainy, needs smoothing. Not up to par to todays expectations. ex. FM4 is pretty to look at. Thats what this game should of been.. just pretty.
Controller setups can't customize, ex throttle is not x button my personal favorite, no clutch option for pad use. 3 controller set ups only.
Incar views are not adjustable.
Caters use of a wheel.
Desperately needs a patch.
Morning/Evening times to race but no night races or weather?

Pro's

Every Ferrari made, rare models the passion is high.
Creative imagination draws you to play (your ferrari's test driver) kinda cool.
Audio is quite good, its up there. The engine sound's are pretty close to real to each car. It won't pierce your ears even at low volume ex FM4 bothers the hell out of me or GT5 exhaust upgrades with bumble bee V8's.
Vintage car racing is a blast very genuine.
The best tracks available all amazing, even Monza at different time periods.


Suggestions.

Needs Patches. visual improvements. cockpits and cars.
Since there's no tune adjustment they should incorporate realism ex.
rain, time change ,weather, mechanical failures option, over rev=over heats ,blown engines, fires. etc.

Many of the older cars puff a lot of smoke, they over heated on just a stand still.
Vintage engine settings (lean/rich) and F1 down force settings..
In-car view adjustments.
Controller customization, button assigned option and steering sensitivity.
Music menu classical, very dramatic, serious mood type,
What happened to Italys national athem, more uplifting classical music.


Game makers don't get it with there budget base games. I'd pay double for a game having those options.
