Having just had my fix of another F1 race on the TV (thankfully they didn't show Schumey at all till the end!) I fired up the latest F1 game from Studio Liverpool.
The arcade racing is a laugh if you turn off the execrable American gameshow host 'You've had a crash!' voiceover that is truly one of the worst pieces of voicework I've ever experienced in a game. I know they called it arcade mode but they just took it too far.
Graphically it's really sound and control wise it's much better (i'm playing on the pad) than the really twitchy EA F1 games.
The simulation mode has varying degrees of difficulty/driver AI/car setup etc. I found most of the car set up variations unplayable and the difficulty level extremely steep ranging from an easy win every go on amateur to coming last every race (hardly a race then!) when I stepped it up one to semi -pro.
Be interested if anyone else is playing it...
