F1 Racing Championship

The Good
Of all the F1 games launched covering any season between 1999 and 2002, this is, I would say, arguably the most realistic of all the single-season games released during that period. Even the arcade mode is realistic in its own way. Don't expect cars to brake quicker than in normal modes because you'll either end crashing into the wall or rear-ending another car. Also don't try to brake check (or brake test) the cars who are pursuing you, you will trigger a massive pile-up.

The Bad
Graphics.

They look quite decent, however, they are less detailed than in other F1 games from the time, for example comparing them with the first EA sports games.

It isn't nice to have to pass a determinate number of events in other modes for being able to participate in the whole 1999 world championship.

The Bottom Line
A good initiation for those who want to try their first PS2 Formula One game.
