    Pretty and promising, "F1 World Grand Prix" stands as a good middle ground between arcade and simulation open-wheeled racing.

    Simply the best F1 graphics to date, particularly if you have a fast machine and a T&L card.

    While we wait for the next Microprose effort, this is a fine way to pass the time.

    A nice blend of arcade and sim, which in my mind would be perfect for the uninitiated amongst you and die-hards alike. The split screen two-player option is also a bonus, and works extremely well.

    If you have a wheel/pedal setup, a high end PC and take your racing Sims seriously, F1 World Grand Prix is difficult to recommend.

    Although some nagging little problems persist here, such as oversensitive brakes, imperfect artificial intelligence, and substandard sound effects, none detract enough from the enjoyment of the racing experience to ruin it.

    It's just a bad representation of real-life F1 racing, especially compared with EA's earlier "F1 2000."

    A fairly well-developed game. It looks great and is to some degree fun to play. There is however, little that is new to racing games.

    A mildly entertaining but distinctly clumsy attempt at a Formula One game. [Oct 2000, p.127]

    If a game doesn't bring anything new to the table, one must wonder why the developers even bothered in the first place.

    Why have I written a review for a game that came out 7 years ago? I guess I really had nothing else better to do. Having played just aboutWhy have I written a review for a game that came out 7 years ago? I guess I really had nothing else better to do. Having played just about every F1 simulation ever made this title certainly ranks as one of the worst. The cars handle like crap and the AI is putrid. The graphics are ok for a year 2000 title but the framerates sucked even on top rigs. Overall a completely forgettable game that should have never been granted an F1 license. My recommendations from that era would be F1 Racing Simulation, Monaco Grand Prix 2 or Crammond's Grand Prix 3.… Full Review »
