Lair looks way better (although even remotely comparing a racing game to something like Lair is dumb), F1CE's environments are too bland and lack detail, plus Americans don't care for formula 1 racing

You really have to be a major Fan to enjoy F1 championship Edition. If your not a fan, then you will find this game rather boring no matter how realistic the graphics looks or how real it resemble the sport. Oh, I am a fan btw.... I love this game. Too bad is just for fans only.

yeah i know, the graphics are amazing to put it simple. I realize that you have to be a fan of motorsports to really understand the game well, but gamespot gave it a horrible score on graphics compared to what it should have gotten.

So you want to know why the game hasn't been hyped but you only want to talk about graphics?  Graphics don't make up for a lack of decent content.  Graphics + content = hype!

the game has a crap load of content so this post fails. it got a lower score because most americans are not fans of REAL motorsports and instead wath people drive performance restricted cars drive around in cricles for 3 hours.

Haha; it's a Formula One game that doesn't even have a current driver/team or full track roster.  I consider that a lack of content.  What about the presentation?  I played this game quite a lot but those 2 things really put me off.

I'm not American though so I can't comment on your driving references, I do watch and love Formula One.  I'd just like a game that felt up to date.

F1 has tons of modes and extra contents. Single play: Quick race or Championship weekend, Time trial (you can unlock new stuff for beating the fast time, so it is not pointless) Online play, Championship Mode, Career mode (a 5 season career mode)... All the tracks are there (well, almost, the Belgium one is missing :P) Plus, you can record any moment or incident during any race and play back anytime you like. This is just on top of my head.

Like I said before... Is for Fans only and that's why it isn;t as popular as some of the others.

The content is too repetitive for casuals and the game's presentation lacks flash (career mode is a bunch of menus, trophy scenes aren't very inspiring, etc.) The game is great on the track, but everything but the racing part feels loveless.

and to serg_15: Ok, Lair's car models aren't as detailed, but the dragons look better than those in F1CE. Graphics isn't just realism and polygons, it's just as much about art style and overall presentation.

Although I agree that US media outlets generally rated it a tad too low, they also have to review games from the perspective of the average player. And Thomas-Crown is right when he says it's mainly for fans, because anyone not into F1 wouldn't really understand the purpose of going for a million test laps before each race or the fact that all the cars (except for the unlockable ones) basically look and drive the same. If you're a fan, it's exactly what you want, if you're not, other driving games may offer a lot more.

The only racing game I'm interested at the moment is the new Burnout, but if it doesn't have Crash Mode then I'll pretend it doesn't exist. That's why I wasn't interested in Burnout Dominator, Crash Mode rules!!!!

But hold one. some of you say that graphics is not imprtant right? then why do i mostly hear people only talk about killzone 2's graphic than gameplay? all some people here want is to see it like the cgi movie show last year but everyone if forgeting about the game play, i havent seen anyone talk about its g me play, where as people say hat killzone 1's gameplay sucked, so why aint no one worried about that? shows that graphics are on some peoples mind but they wont admit it in a topic like this?

please some one quote and anser meeeeeeeeeee

I'm american first of all so it is not prejudice, and it is also a fact that nascar is the top racing league in the united states. The cars are performance restricted to match each other so that nobody "gets an unfair advantage" when competition between the auto companies that make the parts used to be a major part of the sport and even brought us great american clasics, such as the hemi and the superbee. not only that but there are only 3 races out of the season in which they take a right hand turn. Go ahead though, test my knowledge about racing and automotives. YOu will find out that I know A LOT more than you obviously think and have even built up a couple of muscle cars from the ground up(with exception of their bodys, whic i had a body shop do the restoration/paint)

lol, comparing it to lair? first of all, its getting more hype because its a better game. I have seen plenty of racing games but never a game like lair. Second, u are saying this should get more hype because it has better graphics? graphics are everything...and lastly, Lair is a huge open enviroment (a large battlefield) there is a lot more to take into consideration than just graphics alone. Lair has to display hordes of enemies, and a huge enviroment, while this has to display....uhhhhh....a race track. I am not even a fanboy, but come on. Point made
