Here's my review of the game, - the arcade version at least - strange, considsering the game is a simulation!
OK! At last a decent Arcade game which has been able to obtain full Ferrari blessing - allbeit only the one car - but still, Ferrari must have been pretty impressed with the game.
I have seen the arcade pod - Very sleek and very authentic - with 3 screens instead of the usual single screen. Now, this game was one player in the arcades but rest assured there will be a 2 player split screen featuring in the Dreamcast version.
So? What's so great about a game with one car? The questions of longetivity and whether there will be enough options springs to my mind, but believe me this game won't be any ordinary racing game - as the name suggests it is a simulation - which means it will be as accurate to the real thing as possible, and that means of course, the game will be rock hard to play.
But this is a good thing, and when you buy the game on 27th of October you'll realise that this is not only a visually stunning - so life like game - but that this will be, for many of us the only way to experience racing a Ferrari - let's hope the game does well, as it deserves to.
