GP2 review in german PCmag. POWERPLAY

In the april issue of the german PCmagazin POWERPLAY is a good review
of GP2.

some interesting info:
- For a GOOD SVGA frame rate you will need at least a P133. For VGA a fast
  486 or any Pentium will do the job.( In the end they recommend a P120 for
  SVGA)
- one reviewer was e***d about the sound quality but in the end they
  gave it a 63% (only for the sound)
- The 3D feeling is good but not good enough for the perfect illusion.
- the spoiler settings can only be changed in 20 steps.
- The overall rating was 87% for solo play and 88% for multiplay.( I think the
  fact that the game simulates the '94 season had cost some points, they
  were very negative about this)
- 10 MB free harddisk space needed

Besides the information we already know (best racing sim ever, game of the
year, blablablabla.... there are some great screenshots, one taken at the
beginning of Eau Rouge at Franchochamps, and some at Hockenheim and Monaco. It
looks great! The most interesting picture was that of Alesi flying through the
air so that the bottom of the Ferrari was vissible!

Cheers,

Harald
