 Very Adictive and One You Will Always Go Back To April 7, 2007
Mr. A. R. Castor (London, England)

I bought my psp and formula 1 06 at the same time and like most people, think that formula 1 97 on the good old ps1 was the best game of this genre by far, especially for pure speed and realism.
I cant really understand why people compare ps2 versions to psp version as its obvious of the limits of the psp compared to a major console so you have to go with the hardware you have and the game formats for it. (it cant be too long before sony release a psp2 as the psp/ps2 same game comparisons can sometimes be very dire indeed!)
However, formula 1 06 is a great game with great speed and graphics, superb sound and totally addictive, and like all f1 games, sometimes very frustrating. The circuit backgrounds are outstanding, of course at monaco, but also at cucuits like china where the main stands have all the detailed space age grandstands visible.
Its a bit crazy that i became world champion in my first season at super aguri and also a shame that winning the title after hours and hours of playing isnt rewarded with even a little cut scene (im pretty sure we all like completing games partly to see what the gamemakers have in surprise for us at the end).
Like another reviewer said, its crazy that the medium difficulty setting is 4 seconds quicker per lap and i cant honestly see me qualifying any higher than 21st in every race. Also if you change to a 'top team' the speed or handling of the car is no diferent to the bottom teams so theres no incentive to take up a contract offer from a top team as it offers no incentive.
Its in my top 3 psp games so far, maybe my favourite as im a huge fan of driving games.
Buy it, you will probably get it at agood price now too!
addictive but very hard work December 31, 2006

This is one of those games you really have to stick with it to get the most out of the game.
This certainly isn't Burnout or Cars which are pick up and play. With this game it really is a question of practice makes perfect. One mistake ( as in real F1 ) and that's it.
When I first played it I found the game very frustrating, but it is also strangely addictive. You're always coming back to just try and shave a few milli-seconds off your best lap time and I think that's what really makes or brakes a game. Do you really want to have another go?
Buy or not to buy?
If you have the time to put into the game you'll be well rewarded. If you haven't then you're best sticking to the likes of Ridge Racer or Burnout.
 Good game ruined by bugs :( December 6, 2006
Mr. R. C. Farmer (UK)
I have played this game but have gave up after 36hrs of play. (it gives you a play time clock)
after playing a season on career mode at full race distance the game would reset it's self and not let me continue. it also seems to freeze when the weather conditions change. this is a shame as the game is fun to play but is ruined by game freezes :(
Almost But Not Quite There October 8, 2006

If like me you are now sick to death waiting for Grand Toursimo to come out on the PSP, this game might well give you something to play on while we wait.
I bought this game yesterday, and after waiting for a couple of hours for my PSP to charge up, I finally was able to install the software upgrade and was able to play the game. The previous version of this that was out for the PSP received mixed reviews and I am inclined to say the same for the '06 version.
This is without doubt a serious simulation and the level of detail it goes into is huge and kep my concentration, some part of it are almost too detailed for the PSP. The graphics are very good, not perfect but still very good although you dont get the sense of speed that you did with TOCA Race Driver 2, which is now well over a year old. Also it would be nice to be able to skip the race when you know you are coming last.
As I said in the title, it's almost but not quite there.
The best racing game so far.... October 7, 2006

This game is very good. The graphics are very close to those of the real thing. In qualifications, you can pit your car and fix it, which you could not do in older versions of the game.
