If you really must own another arcade racing game with F1 cars in it, go for
it. Otherwise there are other titles which are better examples of the
respective genres (sim and arcade).

No, not at all. The arcade mode is "okay", but there are many other
products that do the arcade part much better. The "sim" (ahem...) part
is a joke.

Pure ***- the stinky kind - garish, barren graphics, atrocious "physics", and
a rather odd opening movie that gives more time to a man getting a massage than
racing Formula 1 cars. It doesn't have the "Formula 1 feel" to it, and it's no
fun to drive or race. Try the demo first, at all costs!

Downloading the demo right as I write (no pun), from
www.eidosinteractive.com

No. It's not worth buying.
I bought it (I don't know why), got it home, tried a couple of tracks, and
it pretty much stinks.
If you want an arcade game buy NFS 4.
If you want a F1 simulator buy GPL or GP2.
If you want a little of both buy MGPRS2.
