What I mean by that is instead of trying to power your way through the tracks, you will need to do some strategic planning and calculating. Using the other cars to your advantage around corners also takes some time to perfect, but when things line up just right, it is a very effective method of cornering. Formula 1 has a gameplay mode for just about everyone.
There are three broad race categories with fine tuning options available under these menus. The first mode available is the Quick Race. This is an arcade style race that gives you the choice of team, driver and track. Just jump in and race. The second option is the arcade mode. This mode gives you cars that are easier to handle and is a race against the clock and other drivers.
The fine tuning options are available in the arcade mode. The final mode is the Grand Prix. This mode allows you to pick a car from the season, make any adjustments, and work your way through the races. The fine tuning I mentioned above is where you designate the actual type of race you want.
You can choose a single race. This is one race against either the whole field or a two-car duel. The second race type available is the championship. This is a season of 17 tracks to see who has what it takes to finish in first. Points are awarded to finishing positions, so you are never really out of the running.
The last race type is called the Ladder. This is my favorite. This is a race with all of the other racers, but one car has been marked. You must finish ahead of this car to advance. It does not matter if you finish in place 24 so long as the marked car finishes in place This is cool, because your goal is completely different than the championship and it keeps the game fresh.
I don't follow Formula 1 racing so I have to take Psygnosis' word for it when they tell me that the drivers are the real deal. I think out of all the drivers, I have only heard of Michael Schumacher. Anyway, the drivers are supposed to be very representative of their human models and all of the teams are here.
This will be a big plus to fans of Formula 1 racing. When you see the Psygnosis name, you can nearly always rest assured that the graphics are going to be good. Formula 1 has some great tracks and backgrounds. There are multiple views to race from, ranging from the through the windshield to the overhead view. As you zoom out from your car, the vehicle looks a little non-detailed but this is minimal.
The crowd that lines some of the courses is very animated and if you happen to spin out, they appear to be cheering you to get going. The coolest thing about Formula 1 , aside from the gameplay, is the audio. The engine sound of the cars is incredible. Formula 1 cars have a very different and distinct sound that Psygnosis has captured perfectly. The in-game music was done by guitar gods Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Very cool soundtrack. Formula 1 is a great racing game that has a mode that will please any type of racing fan.
The controls are excellent, and it is nice to see a game that focuses on control instead of just speed. I think this game has captured the spirit, feel and sounds of real Formula 1 racing. This is a must have for any fan of the sport.
Keep the quality games coming, Psygnosis! Despite one major annoyance and one major omission, it's not all that bad. You get 17 tracks fully modeled after real world circuits, 35 drivers, and 13 teams also modeled after the real thing. Among the 17 circuits you will find enough variety, including track layouts for racing, and different surroundings for scenery, to keep you from getting bored of this title any time soon.
You also get to choose between Arcade mode and Grand Prix mode with various levels of reality difficulty to choose from. You can go for a quick race, a full-blown Season of 17 races, or a "Ladder" option which puts you up against one other car for a series of 12 rounds.
For a single race, you can select whether you race against one car or the full set. The one major omission in Formula 1 is multiplayer support. The odd thing is that when you are selecting your options for your race, the screen titles state "Single Player Race" as if there is a multiplayer option. Formula 1 in arcade mode has to be the one of the funnest racing games I have played yet and is ultimately what makes this game great. The AI is challenging but not impossible, the sound is excellent and the graphics scroll smoothly, even on my P90 with 40 MB RAM and an Intense 3D Verite board, which, if you look at the requirements below, is actually below the minimum.
There is a good sense of speed and the AI keeps the suspense up. Oddly, though, the default view is like standing rather than sitting on the driver's seat, which I thought took away from the realism in the game. I almost gave Formula 1 a lower score because of this, but I accidentally found that I could change my view by pressing the bottom buttons on my SideWinder 3D pro.
This functionality was nowhere to be found in the user's manual or the game interface itself oops, someone messed up. I managed to find a view that worked particularly well for me, which was basically a road-hugging view from the nose of the car.
For purists out there who want a truly seated view as in Indy Car Racing II , Psygnosis left it out for whatever bizarre reason. The one major annoyance, I discovered, is a completely unforgivable reverse view that pops up every now and then while you are racing.
Imagine being in fourth place, coming up to the top three on a tight curve, and the view changes to rear view only. Unfortunately the keys aren't very customisable, but the defaults are easy enough to get used to. The game also supports two-person multiplayer games through either dialup modems or a null-modem cable.
In this mode you can choose to either just race the two human players against each other or to include the whole field. The game's VGA graphics are fairly basic when you look at them now, although I remember being really impressed at the time -- the game needed a DX or to run well. Remember that there was no such thing as a 3D accelerator card back in The sound is pretty repetitive, but that's what you would expect when you drive a car around in circles. You can hear the engine revving and the tyres squealing, though.
