Thanks to a penalty system that forces you to drive at low speeds if you're caught cutting corners, you'll need to stay on the pavement at all times. You'll also need to take care not to damage your ride, as the slightest impact with a wall or vehicle can send one of your tires rolling down the track without the rest of the car If you've taken a bit of damage, or you just need some fuel, you can head to the pits. Rather than just watching your crew work, you'll need to watch for button sequences that pop up onscreen and then press the proper button as quickly as possible to get out of pit row as fast as you can.
The dirt is a great place to watch the race slip away. One thing Formula One CE has in spades is speed. The sense of speed is almost overwhelming at times. The screen will blur, the camera shakes, and you constantly feel as if you're on the verge of a horrific accident, particularly when you're racing in a pack.
The frame rate is fast and rock solid, even when multiple cars are onscreen. As much as you'd like for the frame rate to slow down a bit when it's raining, even the amazing rain effects don't cause so much as a stutter. This means you're forced to rocket around the course blinded by the mist from the cars in front of you and the droplets of rain running across the screen.
It's awful because it's so hard to see, but at the same time it's awesome because it looks so realistic. The cars look nice and are detailed enough that you can tell who's in front of you, even at breakneck speeds.
There aren't a whole lot of major crashes, but when there is an accident, cars display damage in a realistic, if not a bit understated, manner. In fact, the crashes are just one example of the game's somewhat dull presentation. For the most part, everything is very clinical. The menus are easy enough to navigate, but they present information in a very matter-of-fact way.
Outside of some horribly lame podium celebrations, the actual presentation of the races is very sterile, too. Each of the game's 18 courses is accurately re-created, but after a while, many of them start to look the same. There are some standouts, though, such as Circuit de Monaco that winds through the beautiful streets of Monaco or the Melbourne track, which has the city's skyline as a backdrop.
The roster is almost a year old. That's kind of old. Formula One CE nails the one audio component that it needed to--engine noise. The high-pitched whine of the cars sounds fantastic, especially when you're surrounded by speakers listening to the game in Dolby Digital. Unfortunately, the rest of the game's audio isn't as enthralling.
A somewhat bored announcer calls the action, but he repeats himself quite often and only offers the most basic commentary. Having music to listen to while you race certainly wouldn't add to the game's realism, but with all of the practice laps you'll be doing, it would have been nice to at least listen to a custom soundtrack.
The racing action is intense, the controls are solid, and while the rosters are quite dated, it's an overall good representation of the sport. If you haven't enjoyed F1 games in the past, you probably won't find much here to change your mind, but if a steep learning curve is what has kept you from previously taking the plunge, the game is friendly enough to beginners to make it worth a look.
Write a Review. Positive: 19 out of Mixed: 1 out of Negative: 0 out of The reason the "professional" game reviews are relatively low is because this game is HARD. Guess what? So is driving an F1 car.
This game The reason the "professional" game reviews are relatively low is because this game is HARD. This game appeals to die hards like me who enjoy having to run an error free race just to barely win by 2 seconds. Career mode is fun, but full of conceptual errors, such as when you are promoted to first driver, the original first driver is relegated to test driver why would Renault bench Alonso rather than Fisichella??? During the race, it's also annoying how you are the only one who will ever spin on oil.
And in the rain, it's aggravating how all the other drivers are only a few seconds off the dry pace while remaining on the dry racing line.
But all in all, this is a great driving game, and a must have for anyone who takes their driving seriously. I don't get why certain reviews rate a game low even though It's a masterpiece. The last time I played an F1 game is on my PS1. I got the game I don't get why certain reviews rate a game low even though It's a masterpiece.
I got the game when I bought my PS3 years ago. The graphics are amazing, the driving is very enjoyable. It really isn't as hard as most people say it is, even without braking, steering or visual aid.
To me, It had tons of replay value. I always set myself a challenge to wreck every other driver without damaging mine too much in quick race. You also unlock old formula 1 cars by playing the Career Mode. The game to me did not have a single flaw.
Will we ever again see a game as good as this? Just hope that in Next Gen developers don't cater every game to casuals and cry babies. Incredibly deep and satisfying gameplay for true technical racing fans. I wasn't totally sure what to expect from this game as I had never played an F1 racing game before.
I chose to ignore the critics I wasn't totally sure what to expect from this game as I had never played an F1 racing game before. I chose to ignore the critics reviews and base my decision to purchase the game on the user reviews which scored the game 8. I am very glad I made that decision. I am practically obsessed with this game. I love the realistic driving physics and damage.
The visuals are incredible and the difficulty has so much customization that you can keep turning off the driving aids as you get better at the game so the challenge is always relative to your skill level. This is the best driving I have ever played. You're Good to Go! GameSpot Reviews. Player Reviews. Average Player Score Based on ratings. Score Breakdown Based on ratings. Rating: 9. What's with the low score Gamespot? This game is simulation fan's dream come true.!
Rating: 8. Better then what most people think. Rating: 6. Formula One Championship Edition is a disappointing racing game that doesnt make the finish line. If you like breakneck speeds and hearing the scream of an F1 engine, give this game a try. Fasten your seatbelts for the most electric, exhilarating and exciting racing experience that is F1 World Championship! Wonderful, realistic feel. Worst season of F1.
