THE GOOD:
Realistic Cars
Realistic Tracks
Career Mode
All drivers named correctly - all licences included.

THE BAD:
Poor face graphics
Insanely difficult to handle the cars until you're used to it

SUMMARY:
Basically, the career mode involves you. You enter your name etc, and do about 8 tests in a normal F1 car. This includes Starting, turning, Stopping, and using the Pit Lanes correctly. Once completed, you gain your licence, and are offered a job by three lower F1 teams. Your job now is to build up a reputation. Basically, the better you do, the higher your reputation will grow, and the better the team will be who offer you a job by the end of a season. Slowly, you can climb the ladder, and become F1 Champion in a Ferrari or Mclaren.

I rate this game highly, it's very entertaining, and has a multiplayer feature to play with friends. Recomendable to F1 fans.

THE GOOD:
Ability to race in 4 consecutive F1 seasons.
Usage of points to help during races or sessions.
F1 cars look almost realistic

THE BAD:
Graphics of drivers after races could be better.

SUMMARY:
F1 Career Challange is a bit different from it's predecesors. This time around you're able to create your oun racer and climb the Formula 1 ranks though 4 consecutive seasons.

But before you race you must get a superlicense. This license will let you drive in F1. In all of the tests there is a Ace time and a normal Pass time. The more Ace times you get, the better your chances of being picked up by a better team. Once you have finished the license tests(they're fairly easy) you pick which team to drive for and your off!

There are test races to do at the particular racetrack you are at that week. These tests help improve your car for the upcoming race, if you can complete a lap in the set time that is.

The races, if completed at a higher place than what the team boss expects, increase your reputation. If enough reputation is recieved, you will be able to go to a better team next season, or even mid-season.

The points in this game, which are gotten from racing, can be used to buy treats such as pit girls, alternate helmets, or evening races. Or you can use them to make you car stronger for the next race or session, like increase in traction control, increased braking, invulnerability, etc.

The graphics of the drivers are not very good, which can be alright seeing as this is a racing game, thugh thet could have done better.

If you would like a soild F1 game and have always wanted to play a career mode of it, or you love Formula 1 and everything about it, then you would like this game. This is a good pick up for any racing game lover.
