Summary
Here's a game that's guaranteed to get any racing fan salivating about PS2. If shortly after making your purchase of Sony's next generation machine you were wondering where all the great games were going to come from, F1 Championship Season 2000 may just be the one to open the floodgates. On second thoughts, maybe not, but you can, at last, say that it's a good reason to own a PS2.
Electronic Arts' previous two F1 releases - the PSX version of Season 2000 and its predecessor F1 2000 - were top notch games in their own right: incredibly playable and addictive, if a little rough around the edges as far as graphics are concerned. This being a PS2 version, you expect a better looking game, and by golly, do you get one! And then some. It not only looks better, but there are some subtle little differences in the options, such as a customisable Grand Prix. You don't fancy racing at Magnycours or Melbourne? You don't have to. Then there is the sound of the engines. It's hardly what you would call a sensory overload, but it goes a long way to make you feel as if you're right there in the midst of the action.
So, if you were one of the 165,000, and you have a hankering for speed, smoke and sound effects of maximum quality, F1 Championship Season 2000 should rock your world.
