Helluva a review Randy....do you expect to go back and forth with the
developers like one of your past reviews?

No, I talked with the developers BEFORE I wrote the review :)

AND....they defended their product, particularly given the short time
in which they had to write it.  They feel they did a good job on the
physics engine getting the feel of the car and I don't.  That's a
difference of opinion.  Other issues I raised with them included
control compatibility and mirrors. My review reflects the outcome of
those conversations.

I feel bad because I really want a product like this to do well, but
my allegience is to the readers, not to the developers, and only by
not sugarcoating what's wrong with the product can we ever hope to see
it improved.

I personally don't understand why they felt compelled to rush the
product out the door AFTER the F1 finale in Suzuka.  They'd have been
better off to wait until February or March of next year, get the
missing stuff in, and call it F1 '99, and gamer interest would be high
as it would be the start of a new season.
