3.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad, January 5, 2001

I got this game for Christmas and the graphics are great, the detail on the tracks is amazing and the physics, well the physics are hard to judge because I have never driven an F1 car. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the frame rate drops horendously at the start of the race, which is the most important part, however that is only with a 22 car grid and all the graphics options turned on maximum. Also when watching a replay, the cars' wheels tend to turn into octagons, but if you're paying attention to that during a race than you'll smash into that wall up ahead... The driver's school is a nice touch and if you're a novice, it can be very helpfull. Just turn the engine volume down a little so you can hear his instructions. Defenetly something I would recomend to anyone intrested in F1. I am doing a full length world championship (100% race length) and despite not being able to score any points so far, it has given me many hours of entertainment and will continue to do so in the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is F1Championship Season 2000 developed by EA SPORTS???? ??, May 18, 2001

I`m Totally Surprised!! Is it the same team ,who developed SUPERBIKE 2001,the grreaaatest game of 2001,developed this game?? I played Electronic Arts` developed NEED FOR SPEED series in the PLAYSTATION and i was totally stunned,and from then i kept believing EA SPORTS would develop Formula One,my favourite Game at high standards in the PC.Not to mention,that was the same reason for me to buy a very high end PC.But my graphics Card isn`t a Geforce2,but is a Riva TnT2 32Mb one.I played Superbike 2001 on my card.It was simply stunning.It was the game that would satisfy all classes of people.I`m from a middle class family.I can`t afford to buy a Geforce2 64Mb card,instead my house would run for 2 months without any problems with the amount of money i would invest.Formula One mainly attracts the middle class people who are at present 65% in the whole world`s population in terms of Gaming.I hope EA SPORTS would definitely develop F1`2001 and the rest basing on people`s BUDGETS and design them like SUPERBIKE 2001 or FIFA 2001.

I totally AGREE with the very good people who REVIEWED this game other than me..

1.0 out of 5 stars Think twice for this game., December 31, 2000

I bought this game for my father for Christmas. I based my decision of the depth of car set up that you can tune and also on how the graphics looked on the back of the box. Once installed, the graphics were highly pixilized and nothing like that on the box and when you got into the drivers ed. that's part of the game, you could not hear what you had to do to pass the training. Then there is the game play. I find it way to easy to play untill I take a corner a tad to fast, where I easly loose traction on the rear tires and spin out to end up doing a 180 and loosing at least 4 places of rank. While EA Sports may make other games that are really fun to play with good graphics, F1 Championship Season 2000 should have stayed in R&D a bit longer so that the graphics would have been better looking on systems that don't have thousand's of dollars spent on graphic cards. Just so you know, my fathers computer is not old, slow nor a slouch and is entirely Intel bassed, from the motherboard, processor, to the AGP graphic card.
