Well, Be a fool and buy it! I tried it, and it suck realtime! Its unbelievable they got FOCA licence for such crap... but then again, FOCA themselves are only in it for the money.

Well I tried the demo and I found the game to have a very nice driving model. I also like the "Sim" like grafix. It also runs very smooth and seems to have good AI. This game reminds me of ICR2 3D. I will play with the demo more and see. Hey..it is only 25 bucks here! Gotta say..I hate the FOCA though, we need another CART sim :) > Well, > Be a fool and buy it! > I tried it, and it suck realtime! > Its unbelievable they got FOCA licence for such crap... but then again, FOCA > themselves are only in it for the money. > > http://www.gamerscentral.net/articles/99/7/of1r/frames.html

You are definitely in the minority group on these counts! :) Everyone I have talked to says its nothing compared to F1RS or MGPRS. And after trying the pathetic demo, I agree with them. There is no physics model, and it's far from being a sim. It feels like an arcade racer, and it is. -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors Super Touring - Club Cars - Alfa Romeo http://fullspeed.to/astc Australian Super Touring News and Information
I am a huge fan of ICR2 and saying that F1OR reminds you of ICR2 is a great insult to ICR2. ICR2 looks better (the Rendition version) and plays 100x times better and more realistically. ICR2 still has a brilliant car dynamics model (a little bit simple by GPL standards) while F1OR has a shocking car dynamics model ... that is if you're after anything remotely realistic. I'd go as far as to say that in some ways Eidos F1'97 has a better driving model. I was very disapointed by this title ... as far as F1 games go, this doesn't come anywhere close to F1-RS in any respect. Regards, David Mocnay
