If you want to feel like you are actually driving an F1 car, this is as close as you are going to get to that via a video game. The sensation of speed is awesome, the detail is amazing, and ultimately it combines to create a great game.

* Unlocking cars gives you some fabulous historic cars to drive
* Tracks are excellent renditions of the actual circuits
* Having driven a real car on some of these circuits, I can assure you it is very similar in terms of feel
* As with all PS3 games, it is slow to load however
* Pit stops and similar do not quite hit the right note, but a necesary part of the race/game
* Very Accesible for non racing game enthusiasts

Personally, I love it and wish I had more time to play it.

Spectacular racing game for the PS3.

I wouldn't consider myself a fan of F1 racing, I'm more of a NASCAR kind of guy, but this game fills that craving to go fast on the Playstation 3. The graphics are incredible, but you won't get the best experience with them unless you have HDTV and a HD component for the PS3. The career mode for this game is rather difficult for a beginner, I put the settings on Medium and was unable to complete the challenges required to get a ride in the series. I have yet to try it on Easy but I hope it makes it a bit easier to be successfull. The World Championship mode is very addicting. Putting the car damage on and trying to squeeze into turn one at any track at the start of the race is hair raising. I've already had a few DNFs for loose wheels and lost rear fins. The AI are done pretty good (better than NASCAR 08 AI) and give quite a challenge even on medium settings. Overall I think this is the best racing title on the PS3 thus far, and I can't wait to see the next version if they come out with one.

Great Formula 1 game

Finally a console F1 game similar to GP4 for PC. Excellent graphics, incredible sound, perfect rendering of the tracks, good physics, deep technical set ups, the sense of speed is amazing... This is a great game for any motorsports fan. Please do not compare this game to Motorstorm, they are so different ! F1CE is a simulator the other one is just a good arcade racer.

Awesome !!

Great for anyone who loves high speed racing! Especially Formula 1 fanatics! It becomes more difficult and challenging when turning off all "assist options". A great F1 sim game! Beautiful graphics, especially when racing in the rain! Haven't figured out if using the PSP as a rear view mirror is still possible.??

Good, Almost Great, Racing Game

As an owner of a PS3, Wii and Xbox360, I have no bias towards a particular system and therefore believe I can objectively rate video games. I bought the F1 game based on the demo and because there are no other PS3 racing games which do not involve "sliding" (see RidgeRacer7). I am not a F1 fanatic, but do like NASCAR and Indy Racing. I am really impressed by the graphics and sound of this game. Sitting in our Pyramat Rocker, I almost feel like I'm in an F1 car. I have played the Quick Race, Time Trial and Career Modes. The Career Mode is addicting, going through the car set up, practice, qualifying and finally the race itself. The one thing thing would make the game better is a feedback controller so you could feel the rumble strips all over the tracks (based on some blogs, this looks like it may happen in the future). One change I made that made game more enjoyable was adjusting the controls so that the R2 and L2 button control the accelerator and brake. Give me some more seat time and I will try the online mode and provide an update.

great game for a F1 fan...

If you're a F1 fan, this game is great. It's not 100% accurate, but captures many of the F1's particulars - standing starts, pits, fuel strategy, etc. The detail is awesome if you're on HDTV. Driving in the rain you see rain splash and rooster tails.

I just fell in Love

I bought this game a year ago. It was the only F1 game on the market for a console and I immediately fell in love with it. From the physics to the realism. At first I missed my rumble. But last week I bought the Dual Shock 3. That made me want to play the game all over again. But today I fell in love with this game all over again. I bought the new Logitech wheel for the PS3 "Logitech Driving Force GT". It was designed for Gran Tourismo. I cant stop smiling and laughing as I make seemingly ridiculous turns with such struggle. It truly brings the game to life. If you don't have a wheel for this game then you have not actually played the real game. Get a wheel and start having some fun. This is now my favorite game for the PS3 and yes I have already tried the wheel with GT Prologue, Dirt and Nascar as well and they all are amazing with this new wheel. Get the wheel play the game it just plain rocks.

The Most Realistic Racing Game Ever

First off, the graphics are phenomenal. No jaggies, no slow down, good framerate, beautiful weather effects, and camera views that are just like real broadcasts. Most F1 games are only for diehard F1 fans but this one adds all sorts of Driving Aids to help newcomers adjust to the gameplay. Since these can be turned on and off however you like, the difficulty suits you however you're comfortable playing. Another huge feature is the Virtual Racing line, which is helps to let you know when you should brake, slow down, and accelerate using different colors and also shows the best position for making turns. This can be turned off as well. The online is addicting and features 22 cars with half being computer AI to add more realistic racing. You cannot crash into the AI cars so you are basically in direct competition with live people. The career mode and the World Championship mode are pretty much exactly what a real F1 driver goes through in a season. You can adjust every aspect of the car including fuel, gear ratios, tires, parade laps to warm up your tires, adjust oversteering, etc. The career mode is more the F1 enthusiasts but newcomers will enjoy the WC and Quick Race mode. It has all 18 official F1 courses, and drivers. The only problem is that the roster is out of date for the upcoming 2007 season. The game is a showcase for the PS3 and is a must buy for any true racing fan, or any PS3 owner looking for something new.

Awesome speed

Easy to get into the game as a beginner, but gets hard quickly, very technical. Graphics looks awesome with the rain effects. Real sense of speed and realism, especially with the career mode where you have to work your way up.
