This is a very, very good game. The driving on this is like none other, going through the San marino chicane is amazing and twisting and turning through monte carlo is the best challenge ever on a racing game. The choice and variation of cars is also superb with cars from four seasons with every f1 team. You really get the feel of f1 which is amazing. The selection of views is also very good from standard driving view to actual f1 view with steering wheel and mirrors in front is brilliant. I could go on about the brilliance of driving an f1 car around every track but as with any other EA game it could be better than it is and you just feel they don't put any effort at all into their game design.
The first problem is with the career mode. You can't select how many laps you want to do and 8 isn't enough. You need at least 16 to get intot he rythm of a race and really drive it. Secondly the easy setting is stupid. What happens is on every corner your car goes straight into the back of the one in front because it's so slow. They could have made cornering worse or braking, overtaking or driving in general but they decided to give it so little speed that you just run into the back of it. The yellow flag systemis also totally unrealistic. There seem to be crashes all the time and yellow flag situations appear on every lap.
Having said that if you want a good, challenging racing game and are a fan of f1 buy this but if you are easily frustrated, dont!

The first thing i noticed about this game is its lack of control, the cars slide about off the road making it very hard to control. However if you stick with it you can gain a lot of enjoyment from this game.
The 4 seasons idea is very good, alot better than the usual 1 season. Although it finishes on last season (02) so the new rules of formula 1 don't come in to it such as one shot qualifying.
Even with these drawbacks it is still well worthwhile getting if you are an F1 fan. However if you have a PC capable of running GP4 then i would buy that instead.

I hadn't heard anything about this game before I managed to play a pre release of this game at work last week and have to say that this game really does impress. The game play is lush when compared to F1 2002 and is a real improvement on previous titles. The breathtaking graphics and stadia really set this game apart from previous F1 games, which lets face it have been a bit dire. The new rules have been an interesting addition to the game and te one lap qualification really does test you to the limit.
The career mode is a good feature and it is indeed the focal point of the game, working you way up till you become a pro and race alongside the best. The hours will pay off don't worry!
This makes better use of the X-Box's remarkable specification and on the whole is a very impressive game, recommended to any lover of the beautiful sport!
