Actually good F1 game with some quirks

However, there are some bitter quirks that interfere with the game very much. So you can for example in Career mode at a race weekend does not save, just in front of it. That means, at worst, that you have to play at a time almost 4 hours with all the trainings and full race distance.
Furthermore, I find the penalty scheme when leaving the track slightly. So it is decelerated for a certain time at a low pace. That's even okay if you put no value on realism with drive-through penalties. The only problem is that the game between accidental Verbremsen follows leaving the track, preventing a collision, Abdrängung by an opponent and wanton abbreviating can not distinguish. If you, however, urges an AI-controlled opponents to a shortcut, this should not slow down his pace. This was solved already better in the history of this game in my opinion (eg Formula One 2002).

Another problem is that some very aggresive behavior of AI-controlled opponents. If you herfährt example with a very slow car in front of a faster competitors, so try this ever to overtake in the curve inward. This is actually rightly so. If you do not but drives the curve to line of battle, then rammed one of the opponents in most cases, just off the track, when the apex of the curve approaching. And, although the opponent is not in a position to overtake, which means that it is much too far away.
The AI ​​is not so far from perfect.

Another, albeit minor flaw is that the F1-TV, so if you look at a race at any time the position of the driver as well as an intermediate classification will appear, so you have no information about the distances between the riders, unless they are announced by the commentators.
In F1 TV mode is also unfortunately the camera is not free of errors. So is sometimes not connected to a new camera if the driver leaves the sector, that is, the camera follows the driver on. Since these are but firmly attached, then one sees mostly grandstands.

Despite this error, the game is good, but not perfect along. But since you have no alternatives on the PS2, it is worth buying if you can not be disturbed by the defects.
