Psygnosis Formula One PC...opinions?

Hey all, I would like to hear a little more feedback on F1 by Psygnosis. So far it's not a promising sim, but let's hear it please... Glenn "It's easy to criticize from outside the***pit" -Murray Walker, Australian GP 1994

I play it with a gamepad, which seems to be the best steering mechanism - so you're right, it's most definitely an arcader, not a sim. It is a lot of fun though. Gorgeous tracks, great sensation of speed. 2 things I hate about it though: 1) Complete lack of AI. The other drivers seem to be "on rails", there is basically no AI whatsoever. Not even the minimal programming that would be required to at least have other drivers aware of your car and not try to drive over/through it. This is by far the worst thing about the game. 2) The horrible graphics effect of "shooting lightning" coming of your wheels in the rain. Other cars look fine, but the one you're driving looks so bad I have to disable weather, the "lighting" hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. Joe

great looking game but just an arcade game and yes there are green triangles that flash from behind your front wheels in the rain still fun to play though

I use a wheel and pedal setup and it's quite acceptable. Tracks looks great and you get a chance to try Argentina and Nurburgring :-). The infamous Montreal chicane is there :-(. The racing line is great, you see shadows of *** marks (better than the GP2 line and ICR2 marks). The major minus for me are "brain-dead" AI and sound. It's the first driving game for which I have to use headphone if I dont want to hear complain from my girlfriend. The sound in the tunnel in Monaco is good but it's kind of strange to hear the "tunnel echo" in the voice of the commentator as if he was sitting in the tunnel ;-). Claude
