    The biggest novelty in GP4 is the completely new, better and more efficient engine which provides higher level of detail, and more realistic effects.

    Each of the 17 tracks is meticulously detailed and accurate to within inches of its real-world counterpart. [Dec 2002, p.124]

    To be sure, Grand Prix 4 is a souped-up version of its predecessors with no major innovations, but this is about as close as you can get to the real thing without being scraped off the pavement.
  4. GameSpot

    The most accurate re-creation of the 2001 Formula 1 season available, despite its problems.
  5. PC Gamer

    Veteran F1 racing enthusiasts - those who don't like to see their PC sims equipped with meddlesome graphic controls and training-wheel physics - are advised to stick to "F1 2002." [Dec 2002, p.98]

    I can’t think of one thing that will bring me back to it for my F1 fix.

    If this game had come out 4 years ago, it may have been worth purchasing. It's in desperate need of a patch to fix the controller and menu issues.

Where as EA's efforts are just GAMES, this is as close to the real thing as anyone will ever get. Many will say very little has improved over GP3, but why bother to fix what ain't all that broke. What's needed to be done has been, and what was already pure gold has been polished. As for complaint's about the steering help, well you'll just have to get better and switch it off. For those who want a hollow GAME with all the razzamatazz, by all means go for F1 2002. But if something of a little more substance is what you are after then definitely get Grand Prix 4. Too bad SCEE now has a tight hold over the F1 licence coz from now until 2007, if you want the Official game, get a PS2 and have fun with the arcade efforts SCEE spews forth. … Expand

    The first F1 simulator game I played in my life. I remember that I spent hours playing and the racing circuits were true to those of that time!

    For as far all the features in the game are concerned, good job. Cars look great, the gameplay is great...but: for example the steering help For as far all the features in the game are concerned, good job. Cars look great, the gameplay is great...but: for example the steering help at Sepang, is way too narrow, so in some corners you want to steer in, but the game wont let you, and you end up next to the track. Theres no racing feeling, empty pitboxes, no engineers walking about, no tools, no computers, and totally silent. No crowds cheering, no fuzz 'n buzz thats normal for a formula 1 pitbox. no ppl on that pitwall.....!!! Nothing moving untill you start. One of the worst things is that enginesound!!! this is F1, no F3500 or something! I think todays games of F1 can let you enjoy real like F1 engine sound! F1 2001 could do it.... I want my game to be a show, in which i am the star, with loads of noise and fuzz. Give me that F1 feeling Mr Crammond. I dont just want to play, i want to see!!!! Good luck.… Expand
