I'VE HEARD THAT IN A SHOP OF MY COUNTRY (ITALY )IS ARRIVED ANEW
SIMULATION CALLED POWER F1 BY EIDOS INTERACTIVE.
ANYONE KNOWS ANITHING ABOUT ?
IS IT A SIMULATION OR AN ARCADE STYLE GAME ?
THE GRAPHICS LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE .ANYONE HAS TRIED IT ?
THANK'S
MARCO MOSSA ITALY
This game is VERY cheesy. The graphics are maybe a tad better than
GP1, and the playability reminds me of those Accolade games put out in
the late eighties. Stay away from this one and stick to GP2. The only
advantage is that it goes by the 1995 season instead of 1994. Trust
me, don't buy this one.

Very much an arcade type game, although there is the facility to set
up your car - tyre pressures/gear ratios/wing angles etc. Its not a
sim in the way that GP2 is and I don't think that it sets out to
compete with that game.
Graphics are very detailed and can be reduced/increased to suit the
speed of the CPU.
17 F1 tracks to compete on - seem to be true to the real thing.
2 Player Split Screen Option
Having played the game for a couple of days I can say it definitely
falls into the arcade category. Not knocking the game for that.
The graphics are excellent and the game speed is good (I'm using a
P100/16 meg) and the action is quite believable. Various driving
positions can be used to view the car, i.e. inside the***pit or from
a chase point of view. The detail when cars crash is not as good as
GP2/NASCAR etc. as you don't see bits and pieces falling off :-).
If you after a racing game that is easy to play without having to be a
virtual mechanic then this is the game for you. Lets call it the F22
Lightning 2 of the racing scene, i.e. you can climb in and drive
straight away.

Thanks for putting me right on this one :-)
Certainly looks and plays like the F1 Playstation game, not that I'm
suggesting PLAGURISM here!!!!!.
