Problem #1: Does anyone know how to configure a gamepad/joystick? I want to set the gamepad up/down to shift gears so I don't have to use auto-shifting. Problem #2: Why does the GP mode have such a screwed up status display while racing? A huge "clear" block on the bottom of the screen, no tachometer, they are even wasting screen real estate of #&*^$ ADVERTISING, which I really do NOT appreciate! The arcade mode status display works fine - how do I use it in GP mode? Problem #3: Am I the only one that thinks this game feels like a beta release? It's not just buggy, it's unfinished - like missing basic game features like saving options to disk. Many other bugs/omissions have been mentioned here. I don't mind the arcadish gameplay - I expected that - but Psygnosic really needs to address the numerous bugs and missing features in this game. Joe
You're right. It sucks. Best solution to problems #1, #2, and #3? Take it back. Maybe companies will learn not to release crap. Pretty crap, but still crap. Jerry Morelock

At first, i hated this game. Due to the reasons outlined previously, i was mad! I played on anyway, WOW! This game rules. It gets better, way better. I even think the lack of control is an enhancement (controls configuration that is) ok, this game has a different, not better, just different driving model than GP2. So , if you were used to GP2, you will really hate this game at first (nothing compares to GP2's sounds and controls). But this games superior graphics and frame rate, along with the ability to realisticly recover from slides, turning the head in a spin instead of looking straigt down the nose make this game kick ass over GP2. Dont forget about the cool way the car hits the rumble strips! Besides the sound, the biggest problem with F1 is the lack of realistic crashes. Cant wait for them to finish this game. oh yea, its already released. What a bunch of dweebs! ok, maybe they were understaffed. Jeff
