Here's my thoughts on this game, based on the first impressions after a couple of hours play. It has a great feel, much like GP2. Not like driving on ice like for example MGPRS2 (which was IMHO the best F1-game so far). Without any driving assistants you can go out and drive laps without spinning all the time. Only when you try to drive at the limit, it becomes more difficult. Graphics aren't wery good (ok, they are crap), but the playability makes up for it. I prefer good playability to good graphics any time. And on my machine (K6-2 450) it's possible to play this comfortably. Not like F1 2000 which was a slide show with more than one car (it's the AMD thing...) I'm actually very pleased with this. Remember how GP2 wasn't really playable with most of the machines people had when it was released? I think this is a good game, but then again I don't have time to practise a game for weeks (like I should do with GPL). This is somewhere between a hardcore-sim and a good racing game, just what I need. Pasi

Agree with you on most points but I really don't think the graphics are bad at all... maybe I am in the minority here with this view. I am still disappointed with the things that have been left out but even so it is the best modern F1 sim at the moment. I enjoy F1 2000 but it simply needed too much tweaking for most people whereas GP3 is ready out of the box. PH Pasi Oja-Nisula <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8lug8u$nm8$[email hidden]...
