Most scenes involve driving, and the handling feels loose and floaty, with different cars feeling rather similar to each other. The issue is that pretty much every facet of the interactive experience is mediocre to poor. Notably, during the first episode of the third season, the McLaren Senna that gets driven in the show is not available to be driven in the game, with the segment being replaced by another McLaren from Season 2.
You will get to drive some impressive cars that have been featured on the show, from a McLaren hybrid, to the exotic Rimac Concept One, to gas-guzzling muscle cars including the Dodge Demon. The actual "game" part of the The Grand Tour Game is barebones, dated and not particularly fun. Sadly, the TV-show clips in between the gameplay "scenes" are probably the most entertaining part of the package. Once the entirety of season 3 is added, there will probably be a healthy quantity of content for the budget price. If you watch all the clips between races, each episode might take 40-50 minutes to play through, with maybe half of that time actually spent playing. As such, it's hard to be bothered waiting for the rest of the episodes to be released, so the review is based on what's available at the time of posting. Though new challenge and race types are likely to be added with new episodes, given what has come so far, it is difficult to be optimistic about their quality.

Cheekily, when accessing each episode to play, there is a 'watch episode' button that attempts to install the Amazon Prime TV app on your console – but of course you need to buy the episodes, as they aren't included with the game.Īt the time of this review, the singleplayer campaign lets you 'play' through the first episode of each season, plus a two-part special episode from Season 3 more episodes will be released weekly for Season 3 until the full season is available as part of the game. Clips taken directly from the show are intermingled with in-game races or challenges at the points during the episodes where the hosts drive their cars around. Really, the game feels like a thinly disguised ad for the show, designed to sell Amazon Prime subscriptions rather than establish a new contender in the crowded racing game market. Though Clarkson, Hammond and May appear all over the Grand Tour Game, their involvement with it was likely minimal, most likely limited to a handful of marketing videos and a specific bit of voiceover to explain why something is missing.
