Grand Prix Simulator

Copyright : Codemasters | Reviewed by : Bumblebee

?All the thrills and spills of formula one racing - you can almost smell the burning rubber!?... Maybe not... Basically you have to drive a small block, with a spot on it (to show you where the front is) around 14 top-down tracks. You must come first on each track, either against the CPU or a buddy, to progress to the next.

Graphics

I can?t fault the Graphics they are very colourful and well drawn, especially the two GP cars at the top of the screen.

Sound

There are some very nice sound touches to this game, notably the voice synthesis which is used throughout. During play you get the hum of the engine and skid noises. The music is great and adds to the excitement of the game.

Gameplay

When you first play this game you?ll most probably hate it. The controls are very precise and frustrating. Given time (about an hour) you?ll master the controls, you?ll be wizzing around the tracks and you?ll be hooked. You will need to master each track to move on to the next one. Once you lose a race you will have to start all over again. Some tracks are very hard and will frustrate the hell out of you. Getting from the first track to the final one is no mean feat but once you achieve it you?ll be running out into the street, high-fiving complete strangers, punching the air and shouting ?I AM THE GRAND PRIX MASTER!!?.
