If your still looking for this game then what are you missing out on. you play as any driver for any team in this game in any 4 seasons provided, 1999-2002. they all have different dynamics when i first brought this game i looked at the back and saw pictures and i knew it was going to be good, 4 years i have played this f1 game! (that addictive since Freespace). its a massive jump from f1 2000 and 2001 in terms of overall graphics, in f1 2000 - 01 the graphics are terrible and in f1c they are much better!. in single player you race ai's and if you set the ai agression high enough there quite violent. sometimes they make really stupid moves and really funny ones sometimes. Multiplayer you can connect upto 22 players via internet (not recommended if you dont have 22mb connection!), there are some great respectful drivers or damn right stupid ones. this game is for the real f1 fan i strongly recommend it to anyone who hasnt got this game. the only downsides are on multiplayer it crashes when re entering too many times. and ai at monaco when its raining or monsoon they kill each other or run into walls ending the race in 5 laps :D. |

This is the Best modern f1 racing sim I've ever had the priviledge to race on!(and that's saying something!). The Realism is exceptional. The Graphics are trully magnificent and sometimes you could mistake the TV style replays for real life. The range of Car and Tracks that are on offer to you are vast! Plus there are many tracks available to download on the Internet. The Multiplayer mode is very good, Although I don't often use it because the AI drivers are as humanoid as I need. If you find the AI too easy then you can adjust it as easy as that and likewise if they are too hard!! The option available in the game are astounding. You can even change the Fuel consumption rate!!!!! All in all this is definitly the best F1 game ever and even better with all the add ons around you'll never get bored! If you are a f1 nut get this game if not get this game anyway!!!!!!!! |

I think the other reviewer here did try this game only with all the driving aids set to on. This game is really a good sim and when you turn the driwing aids off it becomes a good challenge, you'll not control it easely with a keyboard only, and will need at least a stick or a wheel.
Press the brake pedal with a sligtly unbalanced car and you'll spin immediately.
On top of that there are plenty of free mods to download, such as the ETCC mod (with Touring cars) or the FIA-GT cars mod. |

I found quite a lot wrong with this game. The graphics are not great but it was not made in a time when 3D has come into its own. It is also very easy to in effect 'cheat' on the game. The AI is poor, and so its easy to lap a ferrari in a minardi within 5 laps. Having said this, once you've learnt the controls for car setup properly, you can create a game which is harder and far more realistic. In all, its not the most fulfilling game either. You really need proper controls to the most out of it, and once you've raced the tracks once it begins to become boring - what would make it better would be a multiplayer version. Considering getting the more up-to-date PS2 game would probably be a better investment. |
