    So realistic. The AI driver ability is adjustable right down to the second, so you will always have perfect competition. The tracks are perfect too.

    Great Feel for the car. Great game. Not as realistic as Grand Prix Legends (to much help on the braking... even without any help) but still the best sim driving wise. For those GP4 blind fans... GP4 LOOKS great... but that about it. You don't have the driving feelings that F1 2002 gives you.

    Great F1 simulation game, the greatest ever! And yes it is better than GP4, more fun to drive, the gameplay is simply awesome. Visuals are great! Go grab some addons for F1 2002 and you will be in the F1 heaven you ever dreamt of!

    Detailed physics engine makes for good gameplay without arcade styled handling.

  1. Overall this is the best F1 racing game to date, every detail, has been covered. The game plays great, the graphics are top notch, the sounds are realistic, and the ability to tweak and adjust everything in the game is fantastic!
  2. Clearly superior to "F1 2001" in several important categories, and it's a superb single-player driving game for those who appreciate real-world driving intricacies and generally authentic visuals.

    Takes the genre to new heights of both realism and presentation. [Oct 2002, p.79]
