F 1 World Grand Prix (N64)

From the outside it looks very good, an official licence means it is far more realistic over other games. It doesnt include Jacques Villeneuve, which to me is a letdown considering he's my favorite driver, other than that there are all the other drivers and circuits of the 1997 season. That's 4 years ago, so it is getting on a bit. There are all the usual modes of play as well as a challenge mode where you have the chance to change what happened in 1997. There are offencive, defencive and problem challenges, each different and each getting harder the further you progress. The season is rewarding, earning you secrets as well as the champion ...  Read the complete review

After a racing game for your Nintendo 64 but unsure where to go? Look no further, ‘cause F1 World Grand Prix is here. I’m a fan of Formula 1 but believe it or not, this was only my second F1 game (the first being World Grand Prix on the Sega Master System II). I saw it advertised for £10 in Electronic Boutique and I figured I’d give it a shot, if I didn’t like it I could always take it back. Well, here we are months after purchase and I’ve still got it since it is good – very good in fact. This game is amazing. It looks pretty good for a N64 game, with no polygon popups and actually is realistic. Unfortunately the ...  Read the complete review

Racing games have never been my favourite genre, but when the idea of an F1 game was presented to me for the first time, I gathered that it really would be fun attempting to overtake people when, basically, as in F1, it was VERY difficult to do so. However, I did not find it fun. On the 1st difficulty level, you could go faster than everyone else, so the challenge was not there and it became tedious. Naturally, I decided that the higher difficulty levels would give me what I was expecting. Here, it was difficult, but there was something I did not anticipate. To do well, you really have to memorise each individual corner, work out how to tackle ...  Read the complete review

I have this game for the N64 and I like it, but it is easy to get bord of as I have found out like any other person would with the game. For me this is a good racing game but it has old racers in old teams that is what I think is bad and makes the game bad. Others wise the graphics are very good and the tracks are the same in real life that is great. This game should get 4/5 in a few peples book. ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best racing game ever to grace the N64. It offers a very realistic racing experience. This is no arcade racer, in that you will not be able to take a hairpin turn or chicane at 180mph. Almost as soon as you are on the throttle you need to be on the breaks. This is because every track that you race on is just the official F1 tracks. This only follows since the entire game has all of the official drivers and teams and most of the sponsors. Concerning gameplay, it is difficult to get used to, especially on Champion mode, but in the end, it can be picked up. You'll learn to brake before the turn, aim the car at the apex of the corner, pick out the ...  Read the complete review
