“Geoff Crammond is the Sid Meier of Formula One Racing games – and, as anybody who’s played “Civilization” is aware – that’s not a claim to be taken lightly.” - PC Powerplay

“And what an eagerly anticipated title it is – the release of Grand Prix 4 has the cyber-racing community eagerly poised on the edge of their collective seats.” - PC Powerplay

“The advent of another viable contender for the Formula One Racing crown – that being the latest offering from Electronic Arts – has not conquered Crammond’s empire, in fact it’s made it even more resolute. Spurred on by the desire to be the very best, Grand Prix 4 is sure to be a title that cannot be overlooked.” - PC Powerplay

"To put it simply, if youd consider yourself to be a fan of Formula 1 then Id heartily recommend Grand Prix 4 because in terms of performance and realism it`s still in pole position" - Barry'sworld.com

" Geoff Crammond has done it again. Grand Prix 4 is one of the best Formula 1 games around and for those after a challenging racer paired with some beautiful graphics and excellent AI then Grand Prix 4 is for you. The definitive F1 racer is back again and those of you who purchase the game will not be disappointed. Recommended. " - Media Games Online

" Visually Grand Prix 4 is a treat. Effects such as heat haze from the cars engines as well as features like the video wall have improved the graphics ten fold. If you have a 5.1 surround sound system you’re in for a treat. Grand Prix 4 has an extremely good implementation of EAX technology from Creative Labs. You will be able to hear cars coming up to pass you as well as pit chatter " - Media Games Online

" The biggest novelty in GP4 is the completely new, better and more efficient engine which provides higher level of detail, and more realistic effects. GP4 features for the first time completely animated mechanics, spectators and referees, which will make even your visits to pit-stop an experience to remember." - Actiontrip.com

" The thing that can best depict the atmosphere of driving a Formula1 is the visuals, and visuals are more than magnificent in GP4. It supports resolutions up to 1600x1200 which in turn makes the game exceedingly demanding, so I wouldn't advise you to play it with all visual effects set to maximum if you do not happen to have one of the few most powerful video accelerators on the market. The richness of visuals best shows in the most popular track - Monte Carlo. The developers had to recreate the entire city here. Advanced effects like the dynamic environment mapping, reflections and shadows, will make you feel that you are truly driving your vehicle through the nexus of gambling. You will see the buildings and trees reflect of the shiny plating of your car in a highly realistic manner. Skid-marks look great, and passing through tunnels is also an experience of its own. 92%" - Actiontrip.com
