5 out of 5 stars ITS 2004 and I STILL LOVE THIS GAME   September 13, 2004

Well I bought this game used 2 years ago. I loved it from day one. The Feel is PERFECT. Lets Face it EA sports know's nothing about F1. The Set up of the car is hard to get used to but thats F1. I like to use a slower car to compete against the big boys (ferrari, Mclaren). The Tracks are PERFECT, even the laptimes are almost the same as the real thing. This game is three years old and I still Love it!!!!. Sure the graphics are not all that great, but at 190 MPH what graphics are you going to be able to look at? Overall This game by 989 Sports is the best F1 game since the sega days with senna's GP racing. Dont get me wrong, I am a serious F-1 Fan so watching it and playing this game is almost the same.


1 out of 5 stars Formula One 2001 Vs Formula 1 Championship Edition   September 1, 2004
0 out of 5 found this review helpful

There is a PSone version available in UK and other European countries. It looks like me buying Formula 1 Championship Edition Not this. Graphics: Formula 1 Championship Edition. Gorgeous graphics. especially for a PSone game. Formula One 2001: not quite as good. not even as good as the PSone version for some reason! doesn't seem quite as realistic. Buy Formula 1 Championship Edition.

THIS GAME MAY NOT EXCELL IN THE GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT, BUT THE PHYSICS AND SKILL NEEDED TO DRIVE A F-1 CAR ARE REALLY ACCURATE. IT WILL TAKE TIME TO MASTER BUT THAT IS THE FUN PART. IF ONLY IT HAD A CAREER MODE IT WOULD BE THE BEST EVER!


5 out of 5 stars Much Better Than Newest EA F1 Title   July 21, 2002
Robert Scott Brimer (San Jose, CA United States)

Having played F1 2002 for a little while, I decided to give this title a chance, despite the fact that it came out last year. When I first bought this title, I was a little thrown off by the car set-up menus. But having sat down for a couple of hours and just messing around with it, I find it isn't that hard at all. Sure EA has a "normal set-up" mode, where the computer sets the car up for you. I've even tried the "simulation set-up" mode, but the car is too twitchy and will not remain on the track for too long.

Knowing that this title was created by a team of designers who live in the UK, I can see that they really know what they are doing when it comes to making an F1 title for the PS2. I don't think that the folks over at EA have ever seen or been to an F1 race, which shows in the game play. Sure this title has graphics that aren't as good as EA's, but the tracks do look a little better than on EA's title.

If this company were to consider making a new F1 title, I think that the following should be added to the new game:
1) An in-car view while racing. Just looking over the head of the driver isn't the same. Some people might like that view, but it takes away from the experience. This would also make the mirrors usable during the race.

2) A tutorial on car set-up would be nice. For people new to F1, it would help explain how changing certain things on the car change the performance of the car.

Keep everything else. Who needs sports cards in an F1 title. I've got them all on the EA title and it doesn't really change anything for the game. Having to pass a test just to race? Forget that too. That works for GT3, but not here. Keep the test mode on this title, it helps you learn how to set the car up. I'm glad that I gave this title another chance.
