When Geoff Crammond delivered Grand Prix 3 two years ago, his team was criticized by certain sections of the press for not doing to Grand Prix 2 what Grand Prix 2 had done to Grand Prix, and some will argue that this fourth incarnation of the famous series is guilty of the same thing. Some have even argued (pre-emptively) that EA's F1 2002 is the current king of the road, and that Crammond's crown has been displaced.

Every driving sim is focused on verisimilitude, and in that respect, this may well be the best Formula 1 sim, which makes you feel like you were driving the real Grand Prix race just after a couple of tracks - the only thing missing is the smell of petrol. What more could you ask for? If only it were a bit less demanding in hardware...

Allt är bättre. Geoff har gjort det igen och tills han släpper ur sig del 5 är F1-vännerna att gratulera. En ny säsong har just börjat.

Business as usual: Ich nehme am Steuer eines beliebigen Wagens Platz, lade eine Strecke und fühle mich sofort wieder heimisch. Die Grafik ist klasse, das Fahrgefühl ansprechend, und so dreht man eine vergnügte Runde nach der anderen. Ganz verhehlen kann ich meine Enttäuschung dennoch nicht. Grand Prix 4 ist zwar eine erstklassige Formel-1-Simulation. Doch im Grunde ist es nur eine marginal verbesserte Ausgabe des Vorgängers. Besseren Sound, fehlerfreie Force-Feedback-Unterstützung und detailliertere Strecken sind eigentlich das Minimum dessen, was ich von Geoff Crammond erwarte.

While most of these games are forgettable, others are revolutionary, and some -- such as Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix line -- push the realism envelope so hard they can be downright alienating. To be sure, Grand Prix 4 is a souped-up version of its predecessors with no major innovations, but this is about as close as you can get to the real thing without being scraped off the pavement. If you're a serious F1 racing enthusiast with loot to spare, this game is worth tweaking a system over.

Een uitmuntende racesimulatie van de bovenste plank die echter hier en daar een steekje laat vallen.

Grand Prix 4 est un bon jeu, pas vraiment élitiste en termes de pilotage, mais qui a le mérite d'innover sur de nombreux points. Toutefois, la gourmandise du moteur 3D est telle que peu de joueurs pourront en profiter. Fort dommage.

Geoff Crammond peaufine encore un peu son titre phare pour nous proposer la saison 2001 du championnat du monde de F1. Un titre à la hauteur des attentes !

Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix 4, a PC release from MicroProse, Simergy and Infogrames, has a few stability problems, but once you get past those, the game itself presents solid Formula One racing dynamics and an array of tracks and drivers guaranteed to have racing fans putting the peddle to the metal.

Geoff Crammond hat mit Grand Prix 4 eine wirklich bestens fahrbare Simulation abgeliefert. Innerhalb von nur zwei Jahren Entwicklungszeit haben er und sein Team völlig neue Grafik- und Sound-Engines erstellt, sämtliche Formel-1-Strecken per Satellit vermessen, die 22 Fahrzeugkarosserien der Saison 2001 bis ins letzte Detail nachgebildet und ein umfangreiches Telemetrie- und Setupsystem auf die Beine gestellt. Wie auch bei den Vorgängerversionen gelang es Geoff Crammond, ein Rennteam zur Zusammenarbeit zu überreden.

I have a fond spot in my heart for Geoff Crammond's Formula One titles, as it was the original World Circuit which made a sim racer out of me, before I cared at all about racing in any form. I have eagerly snatched up each new revision of the Grand Prix series of games because they have traditionally been quite a lot of fun, even if they are often lagging in the technology department.

It might not be the hands-down best Formula 1 game currently available, but it's certainly a solid racing game that's deserving of your attention.

En définitive, GP 4 se contente de suivre F1 2002 sans jamais réussir à la dépasser. Même si son aspect graphique lui est supérieur, le jeu d'Infogrames a fait l'impasse sur trop de points importants pour prétendre monter sur la première marche du podium. Il devra donc se contenter de la seconde, ce qui entre nous, est déjà une excellente performance.
