    I am confident that it is impossible to get away from the grid start without knocking your front wing off, and the other cars don't slow down for yellow flags when you have to, frustrating, and on easy mode you could be the Jaguar car and beat the Ferrari in the race, The slip streaming idea is brilliant though !

    If you like Grand Turismo3's F1 cars, you are going to hate this game. Sound, graphic, play, handling, all junks.

    What a waste of time and money. F1 2002 is slow and jerky in comparison with 2001. What were EA thinking about letting this one be released as it obviously has serious frame rate issues. Money down drain.

    There's a lot to do in this game but why do EA insist on imposing a speed limit when the yellow flag comes out? Where in the FIA rulebook is that one listed? Please dont put it on the 2003 game!

    The game has many many nice details, but still causes frustration if you are a real hard core f1 fan. You can´t save after practice or qualify, or in mid race, so if you want to playa full rela race, you ahve to spend about 4 HOURS! straight. You get penalized, but other don´t for yellow flag speeding! and the AI drives really strangely around some corners (too slow) I much The game has many many nice details, but still causes frustration if you are a real hard core f1 fan.

    Anyone who evaluates this game let them make sure that played a version of Electronic Arts. She left in 2002, yet another F1. This game is a product of outstanding at that time. The reflections in the mirrors, driver's footwork and attention! ... Slip Stram! The progenitor of all the games with nitro. I regret that Codemasters is doing now so stiff and serious games.

    Yes, this is another installment of a long-running series, but it is by far the best, most enjoyable one of them all.

    This team must have crawled directly into the brain trust of Formula One racing to have produced a game this seeping with perfection. [Aug 2002, p.68]

    The joy of F1 2002 is that it can play as realistically or as non-realistically as you like.
