It seems a little strange that before you're presented with a game options screen, you're required to choose which season you want to race in and which driver you want to race as, but these choices determine the appearance of the subsequent menus, and switching to a new season or driver simply requires you to edit your profile. The game features a slick, TV-style presentation.īefore playing F1 Challenge '99 - '02 for the first time, you're required to create a player profile that'll keep track of all of your race statistics as you progress through the game.
F1 Challenge '99 - '02 doesn't offer a four-season career mode like F1 Career Challenge for the PlayStation 2, but it does allow you to climb into the cockpit of no less than 44 different F1 cars from the stables of 14 different teams. Electronic Arts' latest Formula 1 game-as its title suggests-features accurate information not only for the current season, but also for the three previous seasons. Drivers and teams have come and gone, rules have been altered, and some of the circuits have even undergone design changes.
The sport of Formula 1 has changed a bit over the course of the last few years.
