I have to reply to this... F1 2001 on the PC ... bag of crap...
But most EA games are...
With the exception of maybe NHL2002 :) and FIFA 2002 and Battletech 3025
I love F1GP but I am sick to death of ***F1 games... The best one without
a doubt it F1GP2 by Microprose... Before u mention GP3 it runs like crap...
Again before you jump in and ask what system I am running... Probably alot
faster than u are :)
When GP3 came out it was hailed as being great .. yet another game to
disappoint F1 fans.... No thought was put into it... We waited for it for
ages... grrrrr...
