  1. Game Monkeys

    8.0/10
    18 August 2003

    This really is a solid racing game. Even if you are not a real Formula One fan, you will find this game easy to get into and fun to play. Everyone should give this game a try. Just, you know, turn off the announcer voices. Read more

    • Good graphics, cool tracks, good physics, awesome speed, and it is easy to pick up and play.
    • The game is too slow in split-screen mode, and the announcer's voice doesn't match up very well a lot of the time.

    Formula 1 racing is commonly overshadowed in America by Nascar, but the European division of 989 Sports hopes to change that with Formula One 2001 for the PS2. But they could have a hard time trying to win over the U.S. crowd while still holding true to the rabid fans of the sport. Read more

  3. PlayStation 2 Era

    7.6/10
    6 November 2001

    Studio Liverpool has recently delivered Formula One 2001 for the Playstation 2, and presented gamers with an accurate portrayal to the F1 industry, but has struggled slightly in their attempt to bring an exciting atmosphere that will appeal to both fans of the sport and those who have no idea what F1 racing is about. When I envisioned Formula One 2001, I immediately recalled the amazing experience I had in Gran Turismo 3, as I’m sure many of you did also. Read more

  1. ITS 2004 and I STILL LOVE THIS GAME

    Amazon

    Well I bought this game used 2 years ago. I loved it from day one. The Feel is PERFECT. Lets Face it EA sports know's nothing about F1. The Set up of the car is hard to get used to but thats F1. I like to use a slower car to compete against the big boys (ferrari, Mclaren). The Tracks are PERFECT, even the laptimes are almost the same as the real thing. This game is three years old and I still Love it!!!!. Read more

    Even though I don't follow this motorsport anymore, there are times when I like to immerse myself in a Formula One game. I've played a number of F1 games over the years but yet to find a title which offers both a solid racing experience and a real challenge. Formula One 2001 saw a simultaneous release for both the PS and PS2 platforms on May the 25th, months earlier than the usual Autumn dates for previous titles in this series. Read more

    • Decent 2-player mode, differences between cars, realistic handling?
    • Unrealistic damage, missing or ineffective game elements, computer A.I.

  3. "Good but could be better"

    8.0/10

    In my opinion since EA has taken over making the f1 games they have never really made them as good as the original PS1 games like formula 1 and formula 1 97. F1 2001 has the ability to be a fantastic game but is let down by simple errors. The biggest problem is the steering. This is an incredibly fun game if you have a steering wheel but is almost impossible with a controller. Especially with the directional buttons. Read more

    "My Sole Reason For Buying A Psx Many Years Ago Was For Formula One By Psygnosis. Four Years Later And The Process Has Been Repeated And Again I Am Not Disappointed. This, For Me, Is One Of The Most Realistic Racers Out There. Sorry I Don't Think Racing Against 5 Opponents In Gt3 Counts! The Controls Are Difficult But Then These Are State Of The Art 200 Mph Motorcars!! This Is A Game About Driving On The Edge Not Driving Down To Asda In Your Mum's Ford Fiesta!! Read more

  5. Fabulous games for all F1 fans

    This game is BRILLIANT! It has all of the 2001 F1 teams, and comes with a free DVD of the F1 2000 season review. MUST BUY!!! Read more
