Video Game Reviews of F1 2001

Customer Review: The only Formula One game that you'll find for Xbox
Summary: 5 Stars

As for the game itself I must say that I was very very satisfied. In fact I was impressed. Even though the game is almost 3 years old the graphics are very nice. The physics and handling of the cars are very realistic. Just like a real F1 car the cars in the game are very twitchy and nimble unlike those 3,500lb tanks in NASCAR Thunder. I like how you can select between normal and simulation handling mode. In normal handling the car is very easy to drive which means you don't deal with understeer or oversteer in the corners and you don't deal with wheelspin. Turn on simulation mode and it's a different story. The car's physics and handling in simulation mode become very realistic and challenging.

The sound in the game is good. They did a good job of replicating the intense sound of an F1 engine allthough missing is the high pitch scream that the cars achieve at high speeds. I have Colin Mcrae 3 and NASCAR Thunder and this ranks up there as one of the top racing games for The Xbox. If you love F1 or open wheel racing then get this game. Don't even bother with that Indycar game.

Description of F1 2001

Weather conditions heighten the experience. Watch the rain clouds swell in the sky above you, see the umbrellas go up, listen to your pit crew's weather updates on the radio, and then, as the heavens open, catch sight of your opponents spinning off the track, crashing into barriers or rushing towards the pits to switch tires and change strategy. You will hear intelligent pit communication from your race engineer, with weather and pit-stop predictions, plus advice on how these things will affect the race. If pit skills are honed, valuable seconds can be saved; if they are not, seconds will be lost. You can turn on the simulation mode and feel the car's handling change to a simulation style, pushing your ability to the limit. Or you can jump into the cockpit for the driver's-eye view and see the wheel wrestling around corners, the gears changing, and the driver gesturing out of frustration, anger, and elation.
