    Formula One (PS3 Review)

    Navneet Prakash, Jun 09, 2007 1600 hrs IST

    Do you like to splash n go? Even Slingshot, Doughnut and the Turkey Walk? Don't sweat, it's just some racing lingo to get you in the groove. Go! Go! Go!

    Amazing Graphics and Sound, Great lengthy gameplay, various modes, great sense of speed.

    Repetitive presentation, you have to be a Formula One fan to truly enjoy the game.

Features

The game features all the official cars, circuits, drivers and teams of the 2006 season, which means Alonso is still the enemy and you can play as Michael Schumacher.

The game has breathtaking high definition visuals, full surround sound, changing weather conditions with drastic results on the circuit, try racing after a heavy shower and authentic vehicle damage. Realism flows throughout the game with formation laps, interactive pit stops, official race rules and unexpected collisions.

You can make your mark internationally with races in Europe, America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, with all official tracks including scalable gameplay mode to suit both beginners and racing experts, which I believe is a great concept. There's online play with full 22-car grid, although I couldn't access it. Also, try driving with the motion-sensitive gameplay with wireless Controller on, and feel the pressure mount on your head.

For beginners there are driving aids, spin recovery and automatic braking assistance. Extensive car, track and lighting details, make the cars look genuine and as shiny as they look on the real racing track.



The Driving Force

There are loads of driving assists to help you get accustomed to the game. For example, you have break assists to guide you with which breaks to use at the turns, so that you don't spin out of control. You can adjust the breaks to suit your needs. Then there is the racing line, it shows you the right path on the track. If you spin out of control you can always get back on track with the spin control enabled. Inspite of all the assistance, the game can be quite tricky, so you need to adapt after a few races.

ok, for some reason i find it hard to believe that TT owns a PS3 and buys game to review and all that. Which means all this is plagiarised. which brings us to the point. Would it really hurt your pride, or whatever it is that compels you to do this sort of thing, to post a link directing he viewer to the GENUINE site, which actually HAS reviewed this title? I can see that some people fall for the gag, but honestly, most of us dont. and most of us are sick of seeing on TT what we've just seen on ign or neoseeker or engadget or something just a few hours earlier. So get with th PLAN TechTree and be HONEST.

Well, the reason I am talking about Formula One basics is because to play this game you need to know everything about the sport. Don't be intimidated, the game is easy by default for beginners, but for a Formula One veteran, there is a lot to explore here.

Seriously tt guys, pay some thought to what is being pointed out. All this plagiarism is now no longer funny so suck it up and link us to some nice elaborate review instead of penning done a speculative review along with some low res pics from google image.

Yea I know we need a more detailed and a slightly more elaborate review of the same.However I don't doubt they own a ps3( I don't see what's so great about owning a console?..they are really cheap if u ask me compared to a fully fledged gaming pc,ps3 retails for 28 k in the grey market) and they propably don't have to pay for legal copies of games and these maybe supplied by publishers,at least this is the way it works for most mags online or otherwise.I don't mind buying a gaming console like a xbox 360 or a ps3 afterall its a one time investment and you can play ripped games on 'em.(Yea consoles aren't piracy proof).The only thing is you might need an hdtv to enjoy the complete experience and a lot of ppl don't have these.However with games like bioshock,gow3,halo 3 and of fallout makes it all the more reason to get a powerful gaming system.If you have the funds to go in for a powerful dual core rig loaded with a good direct x 10 card then its good for you otherwise consoles are always an option.They have several AAA titles after all.
