Wow, it received a 4.7 or 4.9 out of 10 in another magazine; these reviews are all over the place.  :?

It's an excellent tech showcase for the PS3. I think the gameplay is completely hit or miss though. It wont be AAA here at GameSpot, but A or AA is certainly not out of the realm of possibility. It all depends on the reviewer.

That article says one reviewer gave it 48/100 and the other gave it 90/100. The first said "bad handling" and the other said "intuitive control scheme." :|

There is no score for it yet. Where did you get 90? The link below is where the review is off of the n4g.com website. There is a user score of 8.1. I'm assuming this score is for the demo.

Again, another failed thread.

     That about sums it up although the reviewer needs to keep in mind the average person buying this would A Either like the sport. B like racing games.From the things I've read it seems to be ace. It has many options to tone down the racing sim aspect to make it enjoyable to any fans of the sport that might not want the sim racing aspect.

Looks like a very solid title. As well as a welcomed addition to the F1 series.Just my thoughts.

I'm a huge F1 fan and the sony F1 games are all crap, I doubt this one will be any different.

If only it was another company that bought the rights so we could have real simulators on PC and PS3 not half ass arcade games.

I remember the F1 games from EA on the PS1. I actually enjoyed those back then. There were a couple of good ones for the PS2, but most of them were crap or arcady type games like you said.

Its tough to go by just the score of a review. The greatest, most realistic racing game of all time (Grand Prix Legends) only got an 8.9 on gamespot. The reviewer complained that it was "too realistic and too hard" WTF?? GRR!!! thats the whole point! Go play Ridge Racer if you like "arcade" stuff. The revewers "taste" in racing games colors his ratings. The PS3 F1 game seems great unless your one of those "reviewers" that actually reviews the driving model with driving aids on (as the 4/10 review text sure seemed to state.)

What on earth? What's with the totally mixed reviews. This happened with LP too but I don't think LP got as low as 4/10 from a mag/site.

I think F1 may scrape A, if its lucky.

If it's more technical than GT, has damage modeling and cigarette sponsors, then I'm sold. If not, I'd have to think about it for a while.

It has damage modelling, not sure by what you mean by "more technical," but you actually have to work during pit stops. It also features damage meters for the entire car, tires, suspension, etc. Not sure about cigarette sponsors, because that depends on the countries laws. I am pretty positive that cigarette ads are banned from videogames in various countries because games like these are rated E.

They are fun for like 10-15 mins 'if you like racing games' and then they are majorly boring which is why I said they are only good for demo's.

That sucks. I want to see Marlboro on my Ferarri and Mild 7 on my Renault. :) By technical, I mean more sim like car controls and feel. Like how EA Sports' F1 Challenge '99-'02 felt. How the amount of downforce of a car affect it's top speed and handling. Or how track and tyre temperature affect traction. A nice telemetry map at the end of a session would be nice to have too.

edit: Interesting. It seems that Mild Seven doesn't have a big a sponsorship (if at all) with Renault now as they did in previous years. They've been replaced with ING! XD


edit2: Will the PS3 F1 game be based on last year's season or this upcoming one?

thats more like the score i thought it would get, those two early review from edge and PSM3 were very sus both with nearly the same score similarly laid out with similar things said, and both mags coming from the same publisher, add in the fact ive heard from people that have the full game now saying the points made in those reviews are flatout wrong and i guess you can say they were crap

anyway rant over...........great score!

you have to be a fan of F1 to actually like this game. People who dont wont like it and will degrade it. Much like motoGP.

It was hyped for it's technical feat..not anything else, most people were indifferent towards it except to say that it looked amazing.
