WOW, anyone seen this game :-D

The graphics look way better than gt3 and although it's a different style of racing this may be better.

The clouds form overhead before it rains, damage is immense,pit stops talk to you or sommin, rain,dust effects,online mode, AI's supposed to be good (something GT lacked) but it's just so real.

anyone else getting this?

???? Graphics better than GT3 ????

Most mags say that this version of F1 2001, is better than the other, but not actually as graphically impressive. Its less sharp than the other.

From looking at the vid on PSM2`s DVD, it looked fairly hopeless to me. Fair enough it has lots of features such as those you mentioned, but I think the overall summing up was:

It`ll only keep the most dedicated F1 fans happy in the long term.

(Or something like that). Hire it for a quick blast maybe, but it isn`t a GT3 beater.

Yup. Saw it in the shops today. Didn`t look that amazing. It was certainly PS2 standard, but not top of the bunch.

Im not really into F1 so none of the games have ever appealed to me, there is too much pit stop action to make it interesting for me.

Believe me F1 2001's graphics are as good as GT3's but it runs slightly slower. It's still better than scee's f1 and the ai is better. The damage is still only bit's flying off though and no crumples. There are loads of ace graphical touches too. Rubber marks appear on panels after scrapes with walls and the failers are good. U get oil leaks which mean low revs for u or big engine boom.
