'The Grand Tour Game' is a near-perfect mirror of the show (Link)
"The cars and tracks, while adequately detailed, were nowhere near the standard of Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport 6. The handling was fine, too, provided you prefer the arcade feel of games like Burnout and Need for Speed.
"At times, the game felt more like Mario Kart than Driveclub. That's probably by design. The Grand Tour Game is accessible and, I suspect, designed for people who watch the show and appreciate car culture, but don't take games too seriously."

The Grand Tour Game is a bad game, but an interesting vision for interactive TV (Link)
"For fans of the show, this is an undeniably appealing premise... The seamless transitions from clips to gameplay work well and the episode flows nicely to the recognisable rhythms of the TV programme. Despite what appears to be a limited budget, the game's artists have done well to match the footage and take you for a drive through its beautiful locations."
"The Grand Tour Game isn't supposed to have value out of context. It's a companion piece: a way for fans to extend their enjoyment of a piece of filmed entertainment... it goes further in blurring the line between TV and games than any tie-in before it."
