Hi there, a german pc game mag. tested both GP4 and F12002 in their July editon and F12002 won easily. They stated that F12002 will be delivered together with a copy of Gamespy for internet races! Michael
I am curious to see what kinda multi it really offers. I am afraid it will be nothing more than a slightly polished version of F12001 multi. Having gamespy will help find more players, but unless the multiplayer is improved totally it will be the same as using RELAY now on F12001. I just wish every racing game had multi like Papy. They have really figured it out while the rest of the software world seems to be 5 years behind.

Not really surprised... which magazine? Jan. =---
*scratches head* I thought GameSpy was free... Or did something change? It's been a loooong time since I've used it...never liked it... Milhouse "Schuhhaus Wollenschein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adfio2$ron$07$[email hidden]...

Gamespy is free, as long as you can tolerate the flood of advertisments. And I agree with you, Gamespy is a crappy service and I stay away from it as much as possible. F12002 will have other methods of connecting online, won't it? Alanb "Milhouse" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jDLK8.31141$[email hidden]...

On what basis did they judge this? Most games magazines only care about graphics, instead of whether the simulator actually simulates properly. David
I think the "good review" fees to the magazines value more than all the features of the game. EA is a big player and has lotsa money to put on "alternative marketing". Still I think that F12002 will beat GP4 hands down. LM "David Corless" <phonos[@]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:<OOdL8.4968$[email hidden]>...

In that magazine the scores were 88% - Grand Prix 4 89% - F1 2002. I don't call that hands down ;) -- Paul Tomlinson http://www.simracingworld.com "Leo Merikallio" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I think the "good review" fees to the magazines value more than all > the features of the game.
