Gameplay

The game modes feature a championship, quick races, weekend and time trial modes. [3] In the multiplayer section, the player can either go head-to-head in 2-player split screen sessions, or play a hot-seat time trial mode for up to 22 players.

All cars can be fine-tuned in the pits, and there is clear pit-to-car radio commentary. Full telemetry data is shown for detailed set-up changes. There is also an instant replay mode, including race highlights.

Reception

The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. [4] [5] Stephen Poole, writing for GameSpot, noted the relatively high performance requirements of the PC version, but called it "one of the best F1 racing sims to date". [12] Ryan MacDonald, also of GameSpot, concluded that the PlayStation version was more enjoyable than other F1 games on the platform. [13] Sam Bishop of IGN was more critical of the PlayStation version, citing a lack of in-race music and sluggish controls, and suggested that Formula One 99 was a superior title. [16] In Japan, where the same console version was ported for release on 1 June 2000, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40. [11]
