Psygnosis F1

Well I did it, and I didn't think I was going to. I should have asked here first before buying this TOTALLY lame excuse for a sim. I installed it played it for 5 minutes and UN installed it. What a joke!! This has to be THE worst driving SIM I've ever seen. It's more like an arcade game than a sim. Oh well, I'll ask here next time I get a wild hair.

That was my impression too. However, after checking the incar shots from Suzuka yesterday, I am not so sure. The incar cameras had the same shots as the game. I thought the game framerate was *WAY* too high. It actually looked like the incar camera. However, the game has serious problems. Namely that there really is no damage. *YOUR* car sounds like blipping from the old pong games or some other bad FM sound. It certainly did not sound like Schumachers car did in the Japan race :-) The biggest boo-boo was the fact that none of the ingame settings are saved. Graphics, joystick control all have to be re-initialized every time your run the game. I called Psygnosis and they had no answer... -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

I don' have F197 yet, but re: F1, the sounds may not be what you want (the F1 bee-hive isn't to my personal taste), but I undertand that they are actually the most accurate of any of the present sims- achieved by loading a Jordon F1 car with DATs and sending it around. That said, I like GP2's sound better. But that is probably because instead of being accurate, they seemed to have gone for something that sounds "good." I only have the Playstation version. It doesn't have that problem, strangely enough.

F1 is the PC version in North America. F197 is the European version. Check their web site to see what I mean. I think F197 for the playstation may be the same as the NorthAmerican F1 for the PC. Sure the *OTHER* cars sound great. The PLAYERs car engine sound *SUCKS*. Period. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
