    It is wonderfull ho you can build you're own career in the F1 you can even be the world champ for 2 or maybe 3 times. And also the way you start: with noting no license. So its hours of playing untill you completed the game with min. 1 world titel.

    I thought it looked and sounded more like an RC car than a Formula car. Did not like the game at all.

    Similar to f12002 but career mode is great. shame you cant race the 2003 season as well.

    The package is very neat, but presentation can be deceiving though, because the gameplay plain sucks.

    Electronic Arts never made a worthwhile console F1 game and my advice is stay well clear of this frustratingly miserable series. If you live in the US pick up Grand Prix Challenge a vastly superior title that offers better graphics and rock solid frame rates. For those lucky Europeans it's a no-brainer get yourselves a copy of Studio Liverpool's F105 which is without a doubt the Electronic Arts never made a worthwhile console F1 game and my advice is stay well clear of this frustratingly miserable series.

    This game is great. I can't stop playing it. It's very realistic so I had a very hard time at first but once you get the hang of it, it's amazing. May not be so great for those that are not F1 fans though. I personally love F1 and I love this game.

    The worst, and most important thing about F1 Career Challenge, is the jerky handling I mentioned earlier. It takes about an hour of game time to get acclimated to it. Even after that, the cars are nearly impossible to drive smoothly, and it never really feels like you are in total control.

    The difficulty level, although frustrating at first, certainly adds longevity to the game.

    The absence of the 2003 line-up of F1 racers/teams, needless ‘dumbing down’ of the prequel’s simulation aspects, average-at-best audio and superior PS2 product (namely Infogrames/Atari’s “Grad Prix Challenge”) bring Career Challenge’s worth down to rental status instead of must-own.
