DON"T BUY THIS GAME! I have been a PC racer for many years PLUS a BIG Le Mans fan. Needless to say, I have been impatient waiting for this game. What a disappointment. You ask how bad? When you set the game to recognize your steering wheel and pedals, it turns off the keyboard. Not a good deal when you can't turn on your lights for the night driving. Le Mans at night going 180mph without lights is a bit challenging. They do not even offer an in-car view! Why can't they make a Le Mans game with current and historical cars and tracks? This will sell. Remember the Jaguar D types, Porsche 917, Ferrari 512M, etc. This could of been a great game. Now, if EA would pick up the track program so I could put it on my Sports Car GT, wow.

When I first go this game for the PC, I was really excited. I thought that this would be game I can enjoy on my laptop on the go, considering the one on Dreamcast is one of the best video game racers ever created. The DC version looked beautiful, played like magic, and had a good deal to unlock.

The PC version on the other hand, has bland, almost ugly graphics, horrid handling, and pretty much nothing good. It is obviosly the down graded version of an already bad and down graed version of the PS2 game. All the unlockable courses are still there, along with the cars, but that can't save it from being a very, very bad game.

So if you own a Dreamcast, this is a game to get, but on the PC its just another bad racer.

I gave this game 5 out of 5 because the game play is fun and this is the only game which is about LeMans and GT series. I would have gave it one if there were some LeMan games from EA or Microsoft but just because this is the onliest Racing game which is about LeMans and GT series. 5/5

THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING SIM EVER TO BE SOLD IN THE HISTORY OF RACING SIMULATIONS, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, DO NOT WASTE YOURE MONEY, THERE ARE BY FAR MUCH BETTER GAMES THAN THIS ONE, PLEASE AVOID DOING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU COULD DO... HORRIBLE GRAPHICS, NO INCAR CAMERA, HORRIBLE GAME.

good game for its time i guess!, i like lemans itself. Its really fast game. But i think they could go with a lil more realistic for handling, crashing, TURNING. and also the graphics

these 4 elements changed could give it much better of a game i say :)

I didn't think any authentic racing sim could be worse than Motorsims AMA superbike. I was wrong. the graphics are okay, at least the sky changes as the race progresses, but the gameplay is terrible. The A1 is in the same league as NFS; bumper car/demolition derby style tactics. It features the usual, annoying "unlock the better cars" routine with a catch. You start with incredibly slow cars that can somehow easily outcorner even the prototypes, but get blown away on the long straights; which comprise most of the LeMans circuit. This means you have to drive flat out all the time, which means you burn more fuel than the A1, requiring more pitstops and making it nearly impossible to win. The championship mode doesn't help much either, for the same reasons. At least the arcade mode is kind of fun, but overall I am very disappointed with this game. It really doesn't represent the great LeMans classic well at all. Now I know why Infogames products get so many bad reviews.

GARBAGE. DON'T WASTE FIVE BUCKS LIKE I DID. THE GAME IS COMPLETELY DEFECTED. THE CARS ARE JUST FOUR WHEELS AND A CHASSIS. AND THAT IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR THE TRACKS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GAME TO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AND BE COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH, THIS SHOULD BE IT.
