Who are Ubisoft?

This Ubisoft F1RS sim seems to have taken the racing simulation world by storm. Who are these guys? Where are they from. I never heard of them until I discovered their other smashing 3d game Subculture. These guys have really put the boot to Papyrus (ICR2), Microprose (GP2) and Microsoft (CPR). I shudder in anticpation for their next *** tour de force.

They are a French company and, with the release of F1RS, have really had the same impact in 1998 as Papyrus did in ? when they released "Indianapolis 500".

You probably wouldn't notice the impact on your body made by a speeding Mack truck. I suggest that you visit your nearest optometrist and get some glasses. Either that or visit Britain/Europe/Australia/New Zealand/Japan/South America (you know...those little bits of the world outside North America) and see how many people are running the sim in preference to GP2. Or even browse through the magazine reviews that have appeared since the sim was released. Bruce.

You can add South Africa to that list. The game was released here in DECEMBER! And as much as I LOVED Nascar2, F1RS has them ALL beat. Kirk

Speaking of reviews Bruce, did you see the one in PC Powerplay. The reviewers sirname says it all - Wildgoose. Looks like a once great mag is on the slide. -- We are the Hosh!
