It\'s a collection of the best pictures of the entire race. You can choose from all the Grand Prix and then you can choose Interactive and Continuous (pictures shown with breaks or without) =============================================================================== 4.2- Review [A402] =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a better review of Formula One 2001, you just have to look at www.gamefaqs.com where I posted my better review of the game. It isn\'t perfect but it is decent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall score: 8/10 For a diehard gamer or F1 Controls: 7/10 fan (the sport) is this a Graphics: 8/10 game worth buying and Originality: 8/10 certainly now it\'s Extras: 9/10 available as platinum game. Sound: 8/10 Durability: 8/10 Difficulty: high I give Formula One 2001 (the game from Sony) an 8/10 because I think that the game has only one downside but it\'s a mayor one: the controls aren\'t good. If you start the game without changing anything (or don\'t read the manual: this is something what many people do) you\'ll start the engine at the first red stoplight like the profs, you\'ll start and what happens then: a restart or worse. Now, you figured that out, you accidentally crash against the wall (nothing serious, it could also happen to you) and you want to ride backwards, you won\'t find the right button. The first time was when I was playing it with my nephew and we both crash, after ten minutes we discovered that you have to press L1 and push the left analogue stick backwards. The graphics are very decent and equal the frame rate from such games as F1 2001 (the EA version). But it the graphics can still be better. Games as Gran Turismo 3 and \'Le Mans 24 hours\' have way better graphics but I think that their Formula One 2002 will have better graphics. This game isn\'t that original but it was the first good race-game on the PlayStation 2, the dream machine. Like in games as Metal Gear Solid 2: the Sons of Liberty and Final Fantasy X (the European version) there is an extra disc. This disc contains real video footage from BBC with the original commentary of every race including the Grand Prix of Belgium. As extra this can count but I\'ve they had added an arcade mode, the game would be even better. The sounds in the game are really life like: the sound of the engine of every brand is different and resembles the real thing. The commenter doesn\'t tell only about you, he tacks about who as car problems, who\'s at the lead and such things. The game as all the tracks and drivers, so if you\'re a real F1 fan, you\'ll have lots and lots of fun with this game. The game has high difficulty with his \'bad\' controls but for the rest there is nothing-serious wrong with it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 5- In Game Choices [A500] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 5.1- Races [A501] =============================================================================== Grand Prix of Australia --- Albert Park Grand Prix of Malaysia --- Kuala Lumpur Grand Prix of Brazil --- Interlagos Grand Prix of San Marino --- Imola Grand Prix of Spain --- Catalonia Grand Prix of Austria --- A1-Ring Grand Prix of Monaco --- Monte Carlo (Temporary Street Circuit) Grand Prix of Canada --- Gilles Villeneuve Grand Prix of Europe --- Nurburgring Grand Prix of France --- Nevers Magny-Cours Grand Prix of Great Britain --- Silverstone Grand Prix of Germany --- Hockenheim Grand Prix of Hungary --- Hungaroring Grand Prix of Belgium --- Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix of Italy --- Monza Grand Prix of the United States --- Indianapolis Grand Prix of Japan --- Suzuka =============================================================================== 5.2- Drivers/Teams [A502] =============================================================================== Ferrari - M.

If you want to change the car engine settings from the car, you\'d better go to the car engine FAQ with F1 2001 from EA. The settings for the motor are exactly the same or look at page 13 of the instruction manual. I don\'t explain it because I don\'t know anything about it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6- Loose ends [A600] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 6.1- Copyright [A601] =============================================================================== This document is copyrighted 2002-2003-2004 to Joni Philips.

I will accept suggestions, questions, something you want me to know BUT, no spam, porn, or any of the sort. Your message will be ignored and any emails from you will be put into the trash. Don\'t you just love auto block features. I don\'t have an AIM account. I do have an MSN account. You can add me to your list if you have questions about FAQ writing or just want to talk about playing games. If you ask questions about how to finish a game I wrote a Complete FAQ over, you\'ll be blocked. My MSN address is fa34230 [at] skynet [dot] be. If you have my other mail address for MSN, don\'t add this one too. I\'m using them both at the same time. An alternative to email will be the message boards. If you emailed me with a question or similar, I\'ll send an email back telling you whatever you wish to know. However, I sometimes don\'t frequently check my mailbox so if you don\'t receive your reply right away, try waiting a few days. If a week has passed, chances are, either I didn\'t get your email or you didn\'t get my email. If you\'re question is already answered in this FAQ/Walkthrough, you won\'t get a response. Don\'t bother sending multiple mails, you\'ll still be ignored. =============================================================================== 6.3- Environment Rant - Very Important for a FAQ this size [A603] =============================================================================== This FAQ already counts more than 10 pages. Once this FAQ is finished; it will possibly count more than 10 pages. If you were to print out this FAQ, it would take probably an entire day. It is also possible that your printer cartridges become empty so that you have to buy new cartridges, these are very expensive. (Okay, I\'m exaggerating). If you want to print something out, only highlight a small part to print out, this will make your printing go faster and you will waste less ink and money. If you decide to print out this entire FAQ, we can\'t be hold responsible for any damage caused to your printer or if your cartridges become empty. It is also bad for the environment if you print out this entire thing. If you read this after printing out this FAQ or still decide to print it out; you should know that you killed at least one tree. Better plant 3 new trees to restore the damage. (One old tree converts as many CO2 into 02 as 3 young trees.) You can also plant one if you didn\'t print this FAQ, it can give you fruit and you can sit in the shadow when it is hot. Mail me if you agree with me. That way, you don\'t waste any paper and it makes me happy. =============================================================================== 6.4- Version History [A604] =============================================================================== Version Complete: Commentary: Completely finished.

Pages: 7 Words: 2,342 Signs: 19,219 =============================================================================== 6.5- Credits [A605] =============================================================================== GameFAQs It has many great boards where you can discuss all kinds of games. I even visit some of the game boards there when I\'m making a FAQ but that is only when I start it at the launch. Joni Philips He sacrificed his spare time to write this FAQ. He spent a lot of hours on it without getting anything so, in return be kind to him despite the fact that he is asocial. The FAQ sites They are hosting my FAQ so that you can read it. Continue to visit the site where you are reading this if you like it. Otherwise, there are always good alternatives that carry my FAQs too. FAQ Contributors Board - GameFAQs It is one of the better boards on GameFAQs and there are a lot of good writers who can help you when writing a FAQ or you want to chat with. They helped me a lot when I was a starter. =============================================================================== 6.6- Info about the Author [A606] =============================================================================== You can find all my FAQ\'s on the sites that are on the list. As you can see I already wrote lots of FAQ\'s. And because I do this for free and normally don\'t get money for this, I would appreciate it if you send five euro to me. Only kidding, I would appreciate it if you don\'t send me hate mail or spam. Even if you want a write a FAQ yourself, don\'t mail me either. Several sites like http://members.optusnet.com.au/astroblue/faqwarp.html have a good manual to make FAQ\'s. If you find my FAQ on other site then these on the list, e-mail me because they are making money out my FAQ. I have my work on other sites too but these 4 sites have more than 90% of my FAQ\'s. Most other sites only have 2 or 3.

I was born on 29th of July in 1987. I live in a town, Vossem, which is close to Brussels, the capital of Belgium. For al the idiots out there, Belgium lays between France, The Netherlands, Germany, Luxemburg and the North Sea. At the moment that I am writing this, I am 16. If you reading this after 29th July 2004, you should remember I\'m older than 16. I completed my Primary School in Vossem. When I graduated there I went to the Holy Heart College in Tervuren; there I am in my fourth year of Latin and Mathematics. Correction, I already moved on to the fifth year in which I\'m following Science - Math (6 Hours) and now I\'m going to the sixth year so I\'m almost out of school. My main hobby is playing games. My favorite games are Super Mario World and Final Fantasy VIII (not a typo) and my favorite genre is Role Playing Games like Final Fantasy X. Next to that I also read Comic Books and magazines about Games like NGC. My second hobby is as you can see writing FAQ\'s. On the matter of sports I am not good. I also surf a lot on the World Wide Web to sites about games. Most are Dutch but some are English. I even write reviews for one of these sites namely for www.gamed.nl. It is a young game site that came online in October 2003. It is also one of the reasons why I slowed down so much on writing FAQ\'s.
