Last year Psygnosis' F1 was hailed as being one of the best racers ever conceived on a console. So how do you top that? Rather than just do the usual yearly update. Psygnosis decided to create the ultimate racing experience.
And that they did.. They've rewritten the Al to make 4the opposing drivers much more competitive, the driving dynamics have been tweaked, the tracks and cars have been remodeled and detailed and the cars now have twice as many polygons as before.
Best of all it now runs in the hi-res Full Screen Mode at 30 fps. Matt Birch, the game's lead programmer, took us through the changes. The main news is that race is now in, and can be Viewed either vertically or horizontally.
The arcade game is now a lot wilder, with sharper graphics and a much improved Al on the opposing cars. But it's the Grand Prix Mode which will attract the most interest. New for '97 are: collision damage, on-track debris, mechanical failures. Training Mode including in-car telemetry, dynamic weather conditions and tire compound selection. There's also a new in-car cockpit view 1or , to really give you a feel for the action. The graphics look awesome, and well ahead of Andretti and Need For Speed 2.
The bugs have been worked out from last year's game and with that said, this is easily going to be the most realistic racing sim, bar none, this year.
Europe's favorite motor sport to life. Andretti Racing still places first for raucous multiplayer arcade action, but hardcore racing fans will love FI's impressively deep, adrenaline-soaked gameplay.

This will not affect the original upload Small Medium How do you want the image positioned around text? Float Left Float Right. Can you handle all of this pressure? It's sure to make you sweat! Playing this game gives you a great insight on how much effort needs to be put to make a single 2 hour race happen. And of course, this has got to be profitable. You gotta make some money so you can arrange the next races and so on. Normally, you would have to spot braking points to slow down in time, but in this game all you have to do is release the throttle and the car loses all of its speed in a second.
Strangely, this occurs only if you use the cockpit view but then you wouldn't want any other view in simulation mode. Don't pay for this game. If you want a serious Formula 1 game, take home Formula 1 Racing Simulation instead. If you are looking for a good arcade game, choose Ultima Race Pro. And if you can't really decide what you want, I suggest Andretti Racing , which offers better graphics and better gameplay.
It's also old enough that you can probably find it in a bargain bin or second hand. Formula 1 97 is not a totally bad game, it's just that there is nothing in it that's really worth your money.
It may be a nice chip-in though, if you can get it bundled with a 3D card. Aside from that, though, don't bother.
