Yesterday after a handful of goes, i was a little disappointed and looking over to my GP4 and saying, there's still life in you yet buddy!
But a full on session and play test has changed my mind, it's a great F1 game, somethings you wish were a little different, but these things are minor.
The more i play it the more i like it.
Just did my first qualifying session, and that was intense!
Just missed out in Q3 because Kubica held me up on the final corner.
I will admit that there is too much info on the screen when you're on your final lap of quali, when the session has finished, your engineer speaks in your ear, you've got messages saying complete your lap. it's a bit of a mess, you'll understand what i mean when you do it.
Once you complete your lap, you aren't allowed to do an in lap, this is only when the session is over, you can pit normally when there is still time left.
The ai cars are a little errati, but not too ad, and there are some questionable racing lines.
But what hurt this game most is the really poor mirrors, to get a good feel for where the other cars are, you really have to press the rear view button.
Sound is good, i think i'm gonna change it so i can hear my car more over anything else as i can get a bit distracting.
But overall, the handling is great, feels good to put in a good lap time, and the engineer isn't as annoying as you'd expect, i think i'll keep him on.
Make sure you turn off most of the hud, it's too cluttered by default.
As said the damage is a little poor, takes quite an effort to break your car, but if you drive how you are supposed to drive, it should be an issue, you're not supposed to hit anything anyway.
Is it better than GP4?
Too early to tell, but it's got a lot of promise, and many cool things an F1 fan will love.
Online should be so much fun though!
Who else has it on PS3?
Wanna do a race tonight
