Formula 1 I happen to be making this review on a crucial day of the 2014 season in qualifying which drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg of Mecedes are battling it out for the drivers championship title on the last calender race of the season 

This PS1 Formula 1 game was to my world which I played the very 1st Formula 1 game I owned until I actually somehow snapped it as it got stuck in the machine. The game itself was made for the 1995 Formula 1 season and unfortunately because of the legendary status of Ayrton Senna who tragically lost his life in a fatal accident in San Marino in the 1994 Formula 1 season this game really never took off. I see it as I was one of those lucky people who actually owned this game.

GRAPHICS 7
The graphics for Formula 1 was nothing really special though they done a great job of the circuits and the cars and making sure that the graphics looked smooth as possible. I always loved the brilliant job they done of the classical Monte Carlo Grand Prix circuit as this was one of the hardest tracks in the 1995 Formula 1 season that needed to built and constructed true to its looks

Unfortunately though other than the good looking tracks and cars that have been rated a 7 from me the graphics really are not nothing special to talk about for PS1 game which for its debut on PS1 was a shame.

SOUND 6
Now as a marker for any racing game no matter what even if its NASCAR or Formula 1 or even Stock Car racing you'd naturally think to get good sounds that can sort of change etc etc 

With this again its a shame you don't its 1 sound for the entire 1995 team list from Ferrari to Williams its the same. I know what some people might be thinking though ''F1 has always had 1 car sound'' though that is partly true not every season has all of the cars sounded quite the same though. 

Now this only really ever applied if you used to watch Formula 1 in the era of classic commentator Murray Walker here in the UK hes a top top TOP Formula 1 commentator and was loved by all for his passion and his commitment into F1 and always used to make you feel that bit closer to the action when he was commentating. He was put into the game and just like in real life at the time he will also commentate on the race and will even give you live positions updates as the race progresses.

Along with that finally there was also a bit of music but I never really liked the hardcore music for the Formula 1 games too much it just did not feel right.

Overall the sound part of the game stands up okay but again it never really lifts off and sends you goosebumps or anything as a result I rate the sound part of the game a 6.

ADDICTIVENESS 8
I used to play this for hours on end and though some people are gonna think ''why'' to what i'm about to say. I used to love when I was gonna change over and gonna play another game I used to screw around on the game and even used to stop on track to stop the other AI cars and even on the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide there was even a pit glitch with Benetton's Johnny Herbert. You used to enter the pit lane at a bad angle and because Herberts box is 1st on the pit lane when exiting he actually somehow gets through the pit lane barrier and back on to the track. Your expecting to take control yourself but instead this was the pit glitch the computer takes over for the rest of the session.

Back to the serious stuff the main game mode in the game was of course taking part in the 1995 Formula 1 championship battling for points going through all of the calender race season. This obviously could not be completed in 1 session of the game and needed to be saved from time to time. 

There was also a duel mode which I actually still to this day never tried but I assume thats where you select who you wanna race as and your put through your paces in attempt to beat another driver which I really honestly don't know why they decided to even put that sort of thing into the game. 

Overall though with the amount of circuits the drivers the teams and hours of driving what you can have this by a country mile is the games biggest scorer and earns a impressive 8 from me.

STORY N/A
There is no story your main objective is to turn up each race weekend qualify 1st and try to win the race and secure as many points as possible if you play through the entire Formula 1 1995 calender race season

DEPTH 7
Since this was the 1st fully fitted officially licensed Formula 1 game they did make good job of just about everything all of the drivers was there all of the teams were there all of the circuits were there you can't really ask for much more than that on a game like this.

The only thing that I do have to knock back is the AI system. The AI system will rarely leave the racing line unless 1 AI car is going quicker than the other and believe it not this the AI system won't even attempt to overtake you and will just sit behind you and that does even mean (hence why I mentioned the screw about part on what I used to do) if you actually come to a stop the AI cars 1 by 1 will pull up and also stop behind you pretty much bringing the race to a stop. The developers clearly did not put much work into the AI system and i'm sorry but for any racing game you would expect a much better AI system than that.

Overall this game though does offer a lot plenty of driving hours plenty of fun and plenty to do. The depth for me gets a 7 

DIFFICULTY 3
Its not hard in racing games to know the basics brake around corners overtake when possible and stay on the track. You don't need nothing more than X and the square button along with the directional buttons to get you rolling. 

There is 3 difficulty settings though but in truth they don't do much. They only make the AI system quicker and push a bit harder but again that doesnt take away the racing line glitch of the AI system so in truth anyone who is good at racing games should cruise through this.

Overall not much to the difficulty part and gets a 3 from me.

OVERALL 7.5
So Formula 1's full official licensed game on the PS1 is not amazing but its certainly worth playing and is enjoyable for many hours. Overall I rate this game a 7.5

I hope you enjoyed reading my review and I hope you enjoy playing Formula 1
