I've just bought myself a copy of this game today and i must say i am very impressed with it, having been a Fan of the Geoff Crammond GP series for a while i had high expectations, and they have paid off yet again.
The first thing i noticed were the graphics, they really are of a very high standard, its just a shame that you require a fairly high spec machine to run the game with the graphics options on high, even though the car models are from 2001 the quality of the models is excellent and i can forgive the fact that its a year out of date because of this. The Gameplay in my view is a lot better, in GP3 for instance the car felt a little too light for my liking, but in GP4 its just right, there are also a few new viewpoints thrown in here.
I havent really had much time to get into it, but its certainly the best Formula 1 game i've played..probably ever, shame there is no online play (apparenlty due to the licensing or something), but there is a lan mode, so that can be forgiven, if your an F1 fan i'd highly recommend the game, good stuff!

I like the TV touch in the pit lane. It's a shame that I can't get great graphics on my computer.
