Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It is surprising that EA relaunched F1 Championship Season 2000 with the complete 2000 season quite so soon, but eventually every EA Sports title takes to the annual update trail.
For statistical die-hards the game is up to date until Spring 2001, which some may perceive as an advantage over Formula One Grand Prix 3. If your machine is powerful enough, all the visual trimmings to make the race the way it's watched at home can be re-enabled.
The radio link purports to be the same as heard by real-life drivers. In real life it's doubtful that common sense is spelled out to the driver like, for example, the necessity of staying on the track. It's another feature that would be tried and forgotten other than for the lap time updates--if you don't have the seconds necessary to read the onscreen displays.
Then there is the pace lap, EA's homage to televised Formula One racing coverage. Sadly it's a waste of time when you want to get your hands dirty competing. It's not all bad, however, and the best new feature is the driving school where your general skills are tested, including achieving a certain manoeuvre or distance in a given number of seconds, and graded by shades of medal. As a training mode it's quite effective.
That training is affected when set to ultra-realistic and the cars slide across the track as if still in arcade mode. The physics have improved, but in the benchmark GP3 the car's visual reaction fits the handling. If you have the original EA F1 2000, it's best waiting for the inevitable 2001 edition for this problem to be addressed rather than settling for this interim update. --Kenneth Henry

Best F1 game yet, better than GT3,
By A Customer
This review is from: F1 Championship Season 2000 (PC CD) (Video Game)
This is the bench mark for playability. If you can get your control setting just right, youll never put the control pad down. This game is a major step up from the F12000 as there is an option to toggle driver agression and strength. Many who own the F12000 will have found that the first corner on the game is impossible, you rarely get through it with out smashing your car up. F1CS2000 doesnt have that problem as you set the drivers aggression and it WORKS praise the lord. This isnt to say that you arent shunted off the road now and again but we dont mind that sometimes. The speed is beutiful especially if you take all of the display effects to off or their minimum then the game takes a new dimension of fluent speed and really competitive racing that has you on the edge of your seat.. BRILLIANT

I'd get Grand Prix 3 if I were you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: F1 Championship Season 2000 (PC CD) (Video Game)
This is a good game, and I particularly liked the Driving School option. However, the graphics aren't half as good as GP3 and it is not as realistic or as technical. If ytou just want a fun racing game, then you will like this, but if you are a true GP fan, you will find GP3 more satisfying.Buy this game alongside GP3 and the combination though is quite good. this is more up to date, but not as realistic.

Ok what a dissapointment. I Love PC F1 games (definetly Ubisoft's F1RC) So I have the full version of the PS1 version only demo of PC. So. guess what the PS1 version gives you.Not any On-board cameras at all. because F1RC has them.but I still like the gameplay and graphics on F1RC. they're great! But The PS1 version. just for once. kills the PC version
