Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Formula One 04 brings the new Shanghai and Bahrain circuits to Sony's established series of F1 simulations. But this release is more than a mere update: it completes a remarkable about-turn in the franchise's fortunes. Compared with previous seasons' Formula One games, 04 is a terrifically comprehensive facsimile of motorsport's premier discipline.

Those new tracks--along with the already-famous roster of F1 circuits (including Monaco, San Marino and Silverstone)--are rendered in remarkably accurate fashion. Every last real-world detail has been replicated, giving players the opportunity to race on circuits that are virtually indistinguishable from those televised every other weekend. Team colours, as well as commentary from James Allen and Martin Brundle, serve to complete the televisual feel.

Before taking to the track, car setup can easily be tuned in the game's garage area. This provision is welcome and it's simple to navigate. Excessive mechanical jargon is dropped in favour of common terms, giving players of all levels the platform from which to launch a realistic bid for the drivers' Championship.

With its perfect blend of accessibility and lifelike simulation, Formula One 04 takes pole. As Murray Walker would say, it's "Go! Go! Go!" --Jonti Davies

5.0 out of 5 stars Fancredible, 3 Nov 2004
This review is from: Formula One 2004 (PS2) (Video Game)
Fantastic, Incredible
The Graphics are superb
You have to be good at this (so ignore all the reviews about bumping into other cars) i have only ever managed to get 4th in championship in a Ferrari. it is very difficult (on career mode it can be made easy about a lap on a minardi every six) -but that is why it is called a simulation-it is REALISTIC! u need to learn lines of other drivers (they differ) and get all braking and acceleration points perfect. U can unlock all the old Lotus and Renualt its excellent. U can do a 5 year career mode.

U should buy this

5.0 out of 5 stars Best F1 game on any console, 31 Aug 2004
This review is from: Formula One 2004 (PS2) (Video Game)
After playing many of the F1 games available for the second generation consoles and the PC, F1-2004 for the PS2 is by far the best overall "experience" so far, and for one main reason - the "Career" mode.

While you have the normal options of Arcade, Simulation and TimeTrial modes (where you can make up whatever races and/or weekends you like), the Career mode is a whole different concept.

In career mode you have to make your way up through the ranks from test driver to a race seat, and then negotiate contracts, and of course do well in the races. Do well and the big teams will come knocking - do badly for long enough and even Minardi might fire you.

The cars of the various teams perform pretty much as you expect, but the makers of the game have kept them sufficiently close that you really can make the difference with a bad car once you get good at the game. The temptation to beat Schumacher around Spa in a lesser car is immense :)

The graphics are very good - fantastic tarmac, trackside scenery, shiny cars, clouds of brake dust and sand, and of course clumps of grass when you lose it. The sound is also very good - although not immediately outstanding. You hear a lot of ambient sounds around the track such as wind, and the PA system from the grandstands floating across the field...

Gameplay is probably the most important thing in a F1 game, and it doesn't disappoint here. The car setup can be changed right down to things like bump damping and wheel camber - and it all makes pretty obvious differences to the "feel".

While racing, the game (thankfully) isn't a total simulation - you can get away with a fair amount of wheel-banging before anything breaks or gets ripped off. In my opinion this is a good thing.

So there you have it - the best F1 game on the PS2, and probably one of the best games full stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, the best so far!, 25 Aug 2004

This review is from: Formula One 2004 (PS2) (Video Game)
Being the biggest BAR fan and F1 nut I had to buy this game. I noticed when buying this that it had a career mode, this makes the game for me. You start off as a lowley test driver and you have to make your mark by driving laps of various circuits at break neck speed. This is really challenging as you have to pull off perfect laps, you can't afford to mess up or the only people who will take you on will be Minardi and their car just wont win you races!

All in all this is the best version they have bought out, well done Studio Liverpool!
