    F1 2001 has superb graphics, great sound and unbeatable realism. There's not much more you can ask for in a racing game period.

    This is the fastest, best-handling F1 game since Bizarre Creations’ F1 ’97. [Feb 2002, p.168]

    Given the added power of the hardware, the Xbox version should look a lot better -- but it doesn't...[yet it] remains an extremely fun and accessible F1 racer.
