Johnny Herbert F1 98??

I've just seen a UK magazine advert for the "Johhny Herbert F1 98 Sim" from Reality, claiming to be the most realistic yet. Anybody know any more? -- Craig http://www.btinternet.com/~the.solicitors Great Song Lyrics, No1 And the feeling that It's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought it was an April fool at first. I couldn't spot any obvious ones in the editorial or reviews. Well I mean Johnny is a nice chap and all but he is not exactly a high profile racer. Apart from the advert I have not seen anything else about it anywhere. David >I've just seen a UK magazine advert for the "Johhny Herbert F1 98 Sim" from

Anybody know any more? They're absolutely right of course, I confidently predict it will be the most accurate commercially available simulation ever of Johnny Herbert's 1998 car. Marketing speak - dont'cha just love it? You can say aaaaaaanything you want :-) Cheers! John

I read a review in an Australian magazine about F1 by Eidos, anyone know anything about that? The same guy rated Ubisoft F1 at 72% in a magazine where most games get 90% and yet he crapped on about how good the beta of Eidos F1 was.

Which magazine was that? I'm starting to doubt Australian reviewers, especially ones who rate CPR at 84% while only giving F1RS at 79%!!!!!! -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -

Yes, I'm just about to email good ole PCPP about that. The reviewer of F1RS has a sirname that says it all really :)) Maybe I can score a job, LOL.

Too late, I emailed him already. And in this latest issue he is the guy writing on his speciality, ADVENTURE games! I cant believe this moron gets paid to do those reviews!The ***.... P.s. did your coverdisk work? Mine seems to be hunting for a file which doesnt exist on the cd..... -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -

Good on ya. I still have both CDs sitting in the glovebox of my car, hehehehehe. I put them there to stop them from melting while I find a hiding spot at work to read the mag :) Digital sports semms to be the best place to get a good review of racing sims. Most sites/mags that cover everything just don't have a clue I've found.
