I agree with all the above Arnaud. Codemaster F1Games can be described as" Pretty as a picture but just can not cook!" What I mean by that is that the whole packaging thing with the modern graphics and lighting are nice but the whole game for me has a feeling of incompleteness compared to GP4. The things that get me about Codemasters is that for years we have been calling for spectator view ( AI racing against AI) and decent replays that are not in the one person mode ... they are just completely deaf to it. I just don't think that they are capable.
Its okay if you want to experience the whole F1 thing from Rooky to Champ but if you get bored or you just want to look at the pretty graphics you can not just switch to AI racing AI and sit back and enjoy. Naaaaah! like I said it all looks golden but underneath even after all these years as the video shows, its just not enough to conquer a mighty Champion like GP4.
