 I remember when this was called Pole Position February 28, 2002

I thought this game would be great, ...Graphics are solid, but the cars are nearly impossible to steer. This is a repackaged "Pole Position" for the 2000's. If you hit another open-wheeled car at 190 mph, it should go flying off the track into thousands of pieces. It doesn't.

I LOVE F1. LOVE it. I love how they race in the rain, there are 2 cars per team, and (most of all) I love the attitudes the drivers have. What a bunch of cocky... This game is very fun to play. Its not all that realistic, though. Even if I blow it in qualifying, I can make it all up before the first turn. Whats that about? Too many of the cars finish the race, too. Yeah, they dont have intermediate tires, either. But if you chose the camera angle where you see nothing but the track, your're in for some fun. Its fun to race in the challenge mode, where you give your opponent (little brother, girlfriend, drunk or high friend, whatever) a head start.
I wish you had more control in the settings of the car other than the tires. No wing adjustment, no steering fine tuning, no gearing changes. Its a fun game with good controls, but its not quite the F1 sim I was looking for. Once I accepted the fact that its not a sim, Ive been having a lot more fun with the racing game.
Its fun to pass Schumacher as Montoya. That really pisses of my roommate, possibly the biggest Schumacher fan this side of the Rhine.
Realistic and Challenging December 29, 2001

This game is a very good boost to a hopefully increasing market in F1 games. I believe it has the realism and options most hard core sim fans get off on, yet the ease of use that arcade style-gamers can appreciate. Having trouble abiding by the rules or driving in the rain? Just turn off those features and race hard in the dry if you wish. It's only flaw is that the cars seem quite out of proprtion on the track, making it difficult to pass. I found myself closing right up on cars in a corner or straight and hitting them from behind or swerving into the grass to pass, despite the exeptional A.I. The handling is quite good; I encourage the use of a racing wheel. Plus, the game has a unique challenge mode adding depth to the game while honing your skills. If you keep the difficulty up to a level that challenges you, expect to be pressured at every turn, paying for your mistakes with the loss of one, or many, positions. You can't just pull a 10 second lead on the pack through the first corner and then be relaxed and free to make mistakes, no; your pit crew will warn you of people drawing nearer (or getting further) to you or your teammate. I suggest this game to anyone who wants to experience the thrill of passing a car pushing just as hard as you at 200 mph.
 It's fun, but not what I was expecting December 19, 2001

This game is good, however using my steering wheel is not that great. Turning is slow to begin, then gets very quick too fast. I cannot figure out how to shift using the paddles or shifter. The graphics are good, but you won't be amazed. I would wait for the next generation F1 to see if there are any improvements.
Computer Game for the Xbox December 17, 2001
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Clearly, this game is a direct port from the F1 computer game. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I do enjoy the game, but you should manage your expectations before you play it the first time.The graphics are a straight port, so don't expect anything better than a normal PC game with an average 3D card. The game is very detailed and enjoyable to play, which is very important. I'm not as huge an F1 fan, but I really enjoy open wheel racing, and this is really the only option you have at Xbox launch. To sum up, if you're an open wheel racing fan, this is a good buy, if you just want to race, look into Project Gotham Racing and NASCAR Thunder.
