f1 05..

For Sale: PC, Specs: FX 55, X850XT GFX, 250 Gig HD (16 MB Cache). £199, Need the money to buy this, and the PS2 - Awesome!

But that's the problem, magazines giving those ratings because it represents one or two things well. They can't change the way they rate because it's a different kind of game. It is meant to be F1, and the graphics and all else have to rated as tough as other games, so often is the case I read reviews that I believe are giving the game more credit than it deserves.

in some of the last ones... satos helmet was blue, as with buttons (where the white should be) thats fixed.

the t-cam is too far forward making the cars look fat

like f1 lunatic says... mclaren doesnt say 'Kimi' on the side... mainly because of not knowing about west.

ferrari doesnt have black stripes in NT

its deffo an improvement on some past editions... the track cams dont fly all over the place like in 04

Don't waste your money. The game is very unrealistic, and the PS3 will definetely be out this time next year.

so with the McLarens, does it say West everywhere on the cars?

and do the Ferraris have the big white patches like they had until this year?

no theres blank patches where 'Kimi' or 'West' would be


yes... about ferrari

thats crap about the mclarens.

haven't they noticed that since '99 (i think) they put the drivers name on the sidepod and everywhere else where West should be?

Well maybe they want no reference whatsoever to West

but the big white patch on the Ferrari is still a subliminal reference to Marlboro, so they'd have to leave the body all red to avoid reference to that too.

is this game released yet

when is the West sponsership ending? just wondering

www.footballsfinestgfx.co.uk

end of August I think, when it'll be a worldwide tobacco advertiing ban, not just West.

Oh, because i thought they might not of featured the West sign if the sponsership runs out a month after the game came out

www.footballsfinestgfx.co.uk

you might be right, the makers might have known about the ban coming in, so made the liveries what they though they would look like when the ban came in.

thats the worst thing about games like f1 on consoles, you can't update anything.

its a european ban not worldwide.

i thought it might be just europe-wide but wasn't sure, so took a guess.
