Disapointing, April 15, 2000
This review is from: F1 2000 (CD-ROM)
I eagerly awaited f1 2000, but when I finally got it I was incredibly disapointed. The graphics are stunning, and the track scenery is incredibly detailed and immersive. But even that can't save this game from being a hit. This game suffers from incredibly low frame-rates, so bad that I could only play this game in "test day", when there are no other cars on the track. When you play a normal grand prix with 21 other cars on the grid, this game crawls along so badly its unplayable! This game needs a very powerful computer to run, so take the recommended requirements as shown on the box (PII 450, 128 mb ram) as the BARE MINIMUM. I'm running a PIII 450, 128 mb ram, and a geforce card and this game still chugs along at a jittery snails pace. F1 2000 does give you the options of turning off effects and scenery, but when you want to race against other cars with decent frame rates expect to compromise on visuals generously. My advice: Stick to UbiSoft's Monaco Grand Prix Racing Simulation instead, its still the King of F1 games.

F1 2000, May 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: F1 2000 (CD-ROM)
i bought this game because it offered the first chance to see and drive the new indy f1 track. the track is interesting and flat as a pancake with a bunch of switchbacks. as far as the actual game goes, i was disappointed to find out the f1 2000 graphics do not campare to any of the need for speed games by electronic arts. i expected more, it's not great, its just ok.

One of the best F1 sims, June 3, 2000
This review is from: F1 2000 (CD-ROM)
I wish I could give a four-and-a-half star rating to this because the only problem I have is in figuring out how the replay mode works. I have only seen replays at the end of races and the graphics quality is not nearly as good as the in car view. The owners manual doesn't help much in this area. Everything else in this sim, except the A1 drivers, is superb. There are enough car tuning parameters to make even a GPL fan happy. The tracks look exactly like they do in the real life on-board camera shots(except for the sun-glare). The lack of adverse weather didn't hurt GPL, and it doesn't really hurt F1 2000. It does require a lot of hardware to run this sim. I've got 160m RAM and a Voodoo3 card and it works just fine. I've got Eidos' "Official" F1 sim and this annihilates it in every area, especially in graphics lighting and car tuning.
