No, I talked with the developers BEFORE I wrote the review :)

Well, you *knew* it was going to happen... <stupid aol/webtv'er post mode ON> What are you talking about? You suck! You don't know wjhat your talkinh about! Stop smokin that crack! <sa/wm OFF> Heeheeee... Just kididng, Randy. Great stuff once again. Thanatos. Will not read discs, tried 5 CDs, including demo disc, audio tape, 3 games. - Note attached to my PlayStation, which is on its way to Sony's Brisbane repair centre.

AND....they defended their product, particularly given the short time in which they had to write it. They feel they did a good job on the physics engine getting the feel of the car and I don't. That's a difference of opinion. Other issues I raised with them included control compatibility and mirrors. My review reflects the outcome of those conversations. I feel bad because I really want a product like this to do well, but my allegience is to the readers, not to the developers, and only by not sugarcoating what's wrong with the product can we ever hope to see it improved. I personally don't understand why they felt compelled to rush the product out the door AFTER the F1 finale in Suzuka. They'd have been better off to wait until February or March of next year, get the missing stuff in, and call it F1 '99, and gamer interest would be high as it would be the start of a new season.
