I have to be honest, I only bought this game for the Wii because I love F1 and it wasn't available for the 360. I was worried because some racing games don't feel good on the wii but this game is very good. Yes the graphics aren't xbox or ps3 standard but i knew they wouldn't be. The actual gameplay though, is very good. The weather feels real, the cars handle different in the rain and you need to do a bit of tuning to find a good set up that works for you, but it is not too difficult that a child could play. I'm really glad it wasn't released for the 360 because then I wouldn't have got to play it wii style by twisting the remote.
In all honestly the graphics could be a bit better, but what they have done with gameplay more than makes up for it. Very good game and a welcome addition to the Wii!

I am a huge fan of GP4 on the PC and thought i would give this a shot. Firstly as far as graphics go it's not that bad. Everybody seems to be slating the graphics but they are as good as your going to get from the Wii. When your driving at 180mph through Eau Rouge you dont really have that must time to take in the scenery anyway!
The controls work very well. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you get to grips with the controls they work very well.
This game can be played by all as there are multiple options to make the game as easy or as difficult as you like, so even the most experienced F1 gamer will have a challenge.
The best part of the game is the career mode. Its great that you have to go and test for F1 teams before you get offered a drive. I will be playing this game for a very long time.
This game is a must for any F1 fan.

If, like me, you're a proper F1 fan, you'll love this game. The graphics are probably as good as you're going to get from a Wii, granted the frame-rate does drop sometimes but you'll be so absorbed with the driving experience that you'll barely notice. My first few laps were terrible and my immediate thought was that the controls were way too sensitive. Not so, the problem was that I was trying to play F1 2009 like it was Mario Kart and this is no arcade game. After an hour or so of practice I had got used to the control layout and the sensitivity of the steering and I was starting to drive some half-decent laps. I actually giggled when I went into Eau Rouge flat in sixth and saw, heard and felt the car bottom out - nice! The Time Trial mode has a training option which tells you the optimum gear and speed for each corner as you approach it - a great way to learn new tracks without lots of trial and error. The pit to car radio is useful, paticularly during races - it's helpful to know how you're doing compared to the car ahead. The engine sounds and other effects are good and all add to the driving experience. If you already have a couple of Mario Kart Wii wheels don't bother getting F1 2009 with the bundled wheel, the Nintendo wheel is more comfortable. Bottom line, if you're an F1 fan and your only gaming machine is a Wii, buy this game.

Too good for Wii
It must be totally great value if the only thing that lets it down is the software of the player. I could go on for hours on that point, but F1? F1 yes!
