Formula 1 -simulation ......

Now I dont pretend to be a computer game freak, to be honest things like unreal tournament bore me a bit. What I like about consoles is the games that act as like simulators. The formula one games that have come out over the last few years have been really good especially for the PS3. I remember back to the early 90s when the old microprose games came out, Geoff Crammond was the Designer of that game. What he brought to the games was the use of 3-d and vectors so the tracks and movement seemed more realistic.

In the mid 90s I did a few seasons on the game. Nothing special in that was the ferrari number 2, it was quite hard playing a game with no enabled cheats(ie.racing line etc). I think my championships finished like 5,6,6,8. I left it at that and brought the PS2 2001 formula one game. That has sat on the shelf for many years.

Part of my thinking with these games you can follow a career mode but the more years you go through the less relevant the game becomes. I have completed the earlier championships on the old amigas and atari's. So Im now in to the year 2002. All will become clearer, when I get to four championships then I will be up to date with the game(the 2006 season).
Its a bit like football management games where if you start in the 2010 season and then do 6 championships you wont recognise half the players. When you are playing a game relevant to the time and continuisouly it makes for good game playing.

Thats my old submission to gaming.It only holds my intrest if i have an intrest in it outside of gamning. I will post results soon and it will all make sense
