5 out of 5 stars ONLY AND BEST NEXT GEN F1 GAME   September 17, 2008
FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY THAT I HAD TO PURCHASE THIS GAME FROM AMAZON COS I COULDNT FIND IT ANYWHERE ELSE (HORRIBLE)
THIS GAME IS NOT JUST THE ONLY NEXT-GEN F1 GAME THERE IS AT THE MOMENT BUT IS THE BEST THERE'S EVER BEEN.
THIS IS SO FAR THE MOST REALISTIC F1 GAME I'VE PLAYED THE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD, THE CIRCUITS ARE AWESOME AND VERY WELL DETAILED. NOT TO MENTION THE CARS.

THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT ALL THAT GREAT BUT THIS GAME WAS RELEASED IN 2007 AND SONY'S CONSOLE WAS STILL TOO NEW TO KNOW HOW TO USE ITS ENTIRE POWER.

THE MOST AMAIZING THING ABOUT THE GAME IS THE REALISM IT HAS, IF YOU DRIVE TOO FAST YOU ARE INEVITABLY GOING TO CRASH OR GET OUT OF THE ROAD, IF YOU HAVE LITTLE GAS LEFT IN YOUR TANK YOU'LL GO FASTER BUT LOSE BALANCE.

MAKING A PITS STOP IN NOT AUTOMATIC, WHICH IS GOOD COS THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AND SEE WHICH BUTTONS TO PREES SO YOUR MECHANICHS START DOING THEIR DIFFERENTS JOBS (CHANGE THE TIRES, FILL THE GAS TANK, ETC)


IN CONCLUSSION THIS GAME IS THE BEST NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT HAS NO COMPETITION BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT'S A REALISTIC GAME, THAT COVERS EVERY LITTLE DETAIL.

SO FOR F1 FANS WHO OWN A PS3 DONT DOUBT AND BUY THIS GREAT GAME.

FORZA FERRARI



4 out of 5 stars A Realistic Take on Formula One - From Behind the Wheel   September 8, 2008
After spending time with the Grand Turismo series, I became interested in other racing games that provided similar realism, but in racing venues that GT doesn't address. This particular game provides a realistic, and fairly technical, Formula One experience for living room racers. A word of caution, though, as I found that driving competitively in the game can be quite challenging, especially if one wishes to forgo the many aids intended to help novice drivers. That said, if you're looking for a real challenge, terrific graphics, and what it's like to experience an F1 race weekend, then this game is for you. It also supports several different racing wheels, such as the Logitech series, which provide a better driving experience than the standard "six-axis" Sony hand controller.


5 out of 5 stars Great game   July 19, 2008
Great game experience. The programme has several levels of complexity and realism, for the novice to the experienced demanding player. Includes driving in different weather conditions making it a demanding and fun game. Much better than the famous Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Formula One team has been working to clearly improve the game, whereas Gran Turismo team has paid much more attention to graphics than to making their game more realistic and less predictable. I am glad I bought Formula One for my sons and myself. I could not say exactly the same for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, although it is a nice game too, but rather predictable and thus boring for the experienced player.


3 out of 5 stars Isn't Designed for Senior Citizens   May 4, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am new PS3 game player and a senior citizen. While controls for the F1 racer might be realist, they are too sensitive for my motor skills. Plus, the forward view while racing is too limited for my reaction time. Maybe these features are adjustable but I have not found the way change the adjustments.


5 out of 5 stars Best Racing Game   April 27, 2008
This is the best racing game I've played on the PS3. Career mode lets you get in the spirit of Formula One, which is to say a cut-throat world where winning is the only thing that counts. I plan on buying one of those driving wheels to enjoy the realistic action even more.
