F1 Championship Edition Preview
Formula One Championship Edition sure looks great in action, especially the rain soaked gameplay vids that have been shown off over the past few months. I’m not an F1 fan like Henning and Tom, but I’ve been following this game for a while now because I like fancy graphics. A lot.
You can check out a preview of F1 CE below and it highlights the different modes you can choose, from either racing a 3 lap race or going for the full fat epic races with qualifying and practice laps included.
You can also tweak how much help you would you need during the races by enabling the racing line, weather effects and damage etc. Unfortunatley, the game only got a 4/10 in the latest issue of Edge magazine but let’s wait for more widespread reviews before writing this game off. I’m sure die hard F1 fans will still buy it regardless of the scores it gets.
(after 3 weeks... but for 23.5€ I cannot remotely complain!)
So merry Christmas!

The demo wasn’t the most fun, I hope they’ve improved things since.

There is no way I am buying this games if it does not have steering wheel support. F1 games control requires a lot of precision, it is not as forgiving as racing game like Motorstorm.

I’ve never been a fan of F1 racing myself - never understood how people can sit there for hours watching this stuff…it baffles me … but I had fun with the demo .. being able to start out in an beginner mode and start learning how to drive one of these suckers is a challenge that I actually find interesting. I found the sense of speed on the big screen is pretty gripping myself.
Btw Play magazine gave it a pretty good mini-review.
