One of the greatest elements to F1 2001 is the controls, you can choose to use the Dual Shock 2 or the Gran Turismo 3 wheel, both of them offer great response to the F1 car.

Although some aspects of the game may disappoint some racers who have a lot of experience with past F1 games, it allows for a nice balance between arcade and simulation game play.

Very few [f1 games] have managed to walk the fine line between appealing to the masses and appealing to those who require the utmost level of realism, but that's precisely what EA's F1 2001 for the PlayStation 2 does.

As far as the AI is concerned, when the opposition difficulty is turned up to hard, it's extremely competitive and feels realistic. There's not as much cheating going on in comparison to past effort by EA.

Gaming Age

The varying graphic quality grates somewhat, but it controls well and the game experience is enjoyable. Ultimately, that's what matters and F1 2001 stands out as a great example of what F1 racing can be.

Game Revolution

Play with traction control, ABS, weather conditions, damage and more in the handy options screen. You'll even be able to turn on the FIA rules or try your hand at interactive pit stops. I love choices.

Hey Would...Nope gave it a 6:
This version of Fifa would be a lot better if cheap goals could not be scored. Beat a midfielded wide, run downfield and center it. Press shoot and the forward that the centering pass goes to will do a bicycle kick and almost always score. Damn it, it sux how easy it is to score this way. Fairly good game otherwise. [Ed: wrong game?]

Baz M. gave it a 10:
Great gameplay and magic attention to detail. A sound game.
