Ever Had a Formula 1 Raceing game that you couldn't put down

-Force Feedback Steering
-Relistic physics that can be changed to your skills
-all of the courses and how they are this year
-better AI then last year

-Not all teams/Race drivers are in it
-You can't play that well with a keyboard

In this world with millions of arcade raceing games there always seems to be alot of potential yet very little that you can actuly do. I have always enjoyed EA sports "sims" becuse of this. Although you europeans may think this game as an arcarde game it is the "only Real F1 raceing sim" in the united states that is even remotly current. All the other f1 games are totaly fake or are from season or more ago. I realy wish that i could even play with half of the plethra of games that you guys do.

In detail: F1 2002

Graphics

9.5

The graphics are exelent if you have a high end system with everything on. I have never seen such detail on the sides of the courses in any raceing game. Also it has many objects far away such as boats and buildings. Whatever you can see in a live version of a race, you can see in the game

Sound

8.0

Although the sound when you are driving is exelent, when you are not driving the sounds of the passing cars and your crew cheif become annoying immediatly

Control

5.0

Don't Play this game unless you have a controler. It isn't worthwhile using a keyboard and you will spin alot more then you should for some reason.

Gameplay

9.5

It's so good that it made my father hooked who won't play a game for more then 10 minutes. Yet It reminds me of playing Civ 2. I am always thinking about how i can inprove just 1/100thhe has played it over 10 hrs since i got it a week ago.

Lastability

9.0

I have played a million games, and i can tell you that this game will be one that i remember for years to come

Total (not an average)

9.1

Although it isn't the best game ever it is alot better then most. I would heavily recomend getting a controler for the game or else you shouldn't even think about getting it.
