Pros: Everything you could want in a F-1 simulation game
Cons: Where's Jacque ?
Full review
While F-1 World Grand Prix does not have as many featured cars or options as the Playstation gem, the N64 game is one of the most crisp, detailed racing titles out on the market today. While some may complain that it does take a while to access all the features in this game, the options-- such as time trial, exhibition, challenge mode, and grand prix-- are well worth the wait. The cars look great, with every minute detail in place.
The same can be said for all 17 courses available in the general mode. From the start, the game play is very good, with little features which simulate F1 broadcasts on television. The computer puts up a very good challenge, even on rookie mode. Of course, there are other features such as hidden drivers and a secret race course, and these add a nice touch once your adrenaline rush has calmed down.
Perhaps the best part is the voice from the pit crew, which has a man with a Scottish Brogue accent (it cracks me up to hear him say "The suspension is broken.")
The only disappointing part of this game is that the Canadian golden boy, Jacque Villeneuve, could not be featured in time for the release date, and consequently his name is replaced as "Driver Williams." Overall, though, this game belongs up on the winner's podium.
