F1 2002: Ready .... set ... GO!

Introduction: You might think this is just another one of those racing games. Well...you might be right. But there is much more to do on this than just racing such as all the extra challenges this game has to offer.

Graphics: 8/10

As most Gamecube games this one has good graphics. There cars look really good with also a lot of good scenery on the tracks. The cars are lots of different colors and some are different to others as well. The scenery looks good with a wide variety such as: trees, other roads, stadiums or even spectators!

Sound: 7/10

Once again the sound is quite good. The engines make a good sound and are not too loud. The is sometimes some cheering from the spectators and track music is pretty good. The opening theme sounds pretty cool as well. When you enter the pit stop there is also some good sound while they are repairing your damaged car.

Controls: 8/10

The controls for this game are very simple and make the game much easier for beginners. They also display the control settings before every race. The A button is accelerate and B is brake. They are mainly the only buttons you need to know. Simple, Ehh.

Replay Value: 7/10

Of course, there is a lot to come back and do in this game. Such as: beating your current track times and racing against friends in the multi player mode. There is also the chance to come back and win the trophies as different car companies. There are also some extra challenges outside of the main events.

Challenge: 8/10

This is a reasonably challenging game. The competitors can be quite tough and some of the tracks will take quite a bit of practice to master. There is a lot of fun within all the challenge though. There is also the challenge of the other things you can do apart from going for the cup!

Rent or Buy?

I would suggest you buy this game. It is a lot of fun, there is a lot to do and you can even play it against a friend. But if you are not sure go and rent it first. But you should have a go at this game.

Overall: 7/10

I decided to give this game a 8/10. There is a lot to do and it is a lot of fun. Once you have beaten it, get your mates over to race you and show off your racing and driving skills.
