In a nutshell:
The most exciting Formula One season for a long time has spawned a console simulation to match with long awaited new online modes and some surprising PSP connectivity options…

The lowdown:
Owning the official FIA license means this game is the only one with all the real 2006 drivers, cars, teams, circuits and rules – but thankfully there’s more to this game than dull simulation. In fact this year’s iteration prides itself on being accessible to everyone with scalable driving aids for every skill level. There’s also a new online version for all versions, where you can compete in a full 18 race season with real human opponents. Other welcome new additions include taking the options of playing as chief engineer through the existing career mode and more subtle change such as computer driven cars that make believable mistakes instead of just robotically keeping to the racing line.

Most exciting moment:
Since the PS2 and PSP versions are coming out at the same time you’re able to transfer data between each, you can even race other players online on the other version, no matter which console they’re playing on.

Since you ask:
Although little is known about the PS3 version of the game so far Sony has demonstrated a way to connect the PSP to it and use the portable console as a fully interactive wing mirror – displaying exactly what is going on behind you in full 3D.

The bottom line:
The PS2 and PSP are in pole position for this welcome racing update.

by Syronz on 07/22/08

When this game come out it was already outdated with the 2006 Season being the tone for the game. If you think you will be racing with Hamilton or racing at Fuji Speedway then forget about it. When I brought my PS3 I just wanted a good racing game not to be too realistic but with good fun, this game delivers that! with great racing and...

Author: buzzgav Being a HUGE fan of previous F1 games on the other Playstations this was the first game i brought with my new playstation 3. And I wasn't disappointed! It's a good game to either just pick up and have a quick race or to spend time building up a full career....

Went to Game Stop and traded in for PS3: Skate & F1: Formula One Championship Edition. For the 360: Call of Duty 3.
