F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

Introduction ************* I first played the original of this game in 1999, this was my first serious racing game on the nintendo64, and I found this game and had fantastic graphics, the game play was very realistic and the sound was good and the handling was excellent.

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

This game emulates the 1997 World Grand Prix, and you'd believe it were real if it weren't for the lack of g's and wind rushing past. All the tracks from the 1997 Grand Prix are present, and are accurately simulated. You can even set up the weather to reflect the conditions from 1997, which is a nice touch. The game has the usual Practice, Time Trial etc modes, but I went straight to the Championship or Grand Prix mode. Here you are given a number ...
...achieve a reasonable time, you are allowed onto the race itself. You can set whether you want to race the full 50 or so laps - depending on the track - or a cut down version of the race. The full race, which can involve 70 laps on some courses can get tedious, so I would recommend not going for this option unless you are a real Grand Prix addict. There are three levels of difficulty. I managed to complete the Grand Prix in the first two attaining ...

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

With the excellent F1 97 on the Playstation, Paradigm had a huge task to produce a game of the same or better standard. The job was made considerably easier by the fact that Paradigm had the F1A licence and so could use the real driver names, teams, sponsors and track design. With the tat F1 pole position, the task of producing the best F1 game on the N64 was not terribly difficult. When you switch the machine on you get a wonderful circling ...
...As it’s name suggests F1 World Grand Prix is a Formula 1 game, but it is the first top class F1 game on the N64 and will be extremely hard to improve upon. F1 World Grand prix plays surprisingly well, you can change the cars setup to increase speed or improve steering, you have complete control how your car is setup. The Controls are easy to learn on beginner where you only need steering and accelerate but if you change the difficulty it becomes ...

...a problem common to most F1 simulations. Overall then, a great racing simulation, ideal for hardened F1 fans and people just looking for racing kicks alike. (Also, try changing the name 'driver williams' to 'driver vacation' on the driver select screen for a secret hawaiian track.) ...

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

...However, i got home with F1 WGP and played constantly for 18 hours, getting used to the handling, which is amazing. I then woke up the next morning and began a season, which is very in depth. i decided to be patriotic so i chose Johnny Herbert. I started in easy mode cos although id had a lot of practice, i wasnt THAT confident in my ability. after half the season (id played 100% ditances and the full qualifying etc) which had taken me around 3 ...
...pole and the race in all the races. So, i started a new season in the harder difficulty and enjoyed it MUCH better. it was a very closely fort season which i ended winning by just two points to Schumacher - being a British driver made it all that more satisfying. all this had taken me a couple of weeks with the fun never wearing off. i was always looking to shave a couple of seconds off my time and get the best lines around corners. after 6 weeks ...

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

This game simulates the 1997 season. My first impression of it was that the graphics are really good and quite realistic - I've found this with quite a few N64 games. This is a very enjoyable game, although at first I found it quite difficult to control the cars. This was especially the case when I used the steering wheel, until I got the sensitivity setting correct. I like the fact that you can have two player games, it means that you can practice ...
...racing against someone else that the computer!!!!) One thing that I noticed about the game was the ommission of Villeneuve (maybe he's shy!!!!) But this doesn't bother me because you can change the names of the drivers, and I'm not a huge Villeneuve fan anyway. I reckon that this a good racing game, and reasonably realistic. It compares well with other Formula 1 games. You can race on all the circuits (apart from the most recent that's been introduced ...

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

...name a few. F1 World GP is the best of them all. Stunningly addictive gameplay, excellent graphics and a realistic sound system all add to the superb atmosphere of F1 World GP. Unfortunately, it is surprisingly easy, but makes up for that addictive gameplay. The sound system leaves much to be desired, which I hope will be fixed in the sequel, which I tip to knock Mario Party off number 1. I recommend you play as Pyrite, Hill, or if you cheat, Silver ...

Review of F1 World Grand Prix (N64)

Hmmmm no one has written an opinion on this superb game?!? Well i'll be the first then. This game is very enjoyable, with a wide range of drivers and tracks and some bonus drivers and tracks it can entertain a person for hours. With Jacques Villenauve (sorry i don't know how to spell his name?!?) deciding that he doesnt want to be a part of the game, the driver that he would have been - D. Williams - is the key to the cheats. The only drawback ...

...to be the most realistic F1 simulator I have played. This game is best played with the wheel and pedals, it givces such a brilliant realisam to it. It has the usual options for setting the controls to an easier method, such as no damage auto gears, etc. On the hardest levels this game is hard, and takes a lot of time to get used to it, but it is definatly worth the effort as it makes the game so much better to play. The graphics are completly outstanding ...

...are the cars.Most of the f1 drivers are available as playable characters of course in there appropiate racing car,And surprisingly the controls handle well......a problem which has plagued most n64 racers, such as f1 pole position.I would rate this game as 8/10 but would probably only recommend it to die hard racing fans as it can get a bit tideous at times.A good game overall would be more fun if there was a better mulitplayer option for up to four ...
