Not revolutionary, but great all the same | | Michael Hayes from Tyne and Wear, England says (13/Sep/2002): | F1 Championship Season 2000 probably represents the pinnacle of EA's three year old F1 series, despite being only their third effort (after F1 2001 and Champ Season 2000 on PSOne). It's not staggering, either to look at or to play, but everything about the game shows a likeable realism and authenticity. If you're an action junkie this is probably going to bore you rigid; in a race you can make up places on the run to the first corner but from there on in you hold station unless you can pull something really incredible out of the bag. A GP becomes an exerscise in prescision and concentration-one wrong move and you're out. This kind of realism makes it a great choice for F1 fans sick of sims that include a huge number of lead changes, OTT crashes and silly results, but most people will probably find it incredibly dull, so the score reflects that.
Anything else? Oh yeah, the visuals are unremarkable, the handling simple and the collision detection flawed. It's far from perfect, but strangely endearing.
