 Brilliant! November 21, 2009

This is a great game, ignore the reviews that haven't actually bought the game before reviewing. The graphics are good and do not take away from the driving, and the game play is excellent with the right balance of playability without being too sensitive. The options allow the game to be made more difficult once the circuits have been mastered. Some really deft touches make this great fun. Best F1 game I have played so far by some distance (and as an F! fan I have bought a few)!
A must for any F1 Fan November 23, 2009

I am a huge fan of GP4 on the PC and thought i would give this a shot. Firstly as far as graphics go it's not that bad. Everybody seems to be slating the graphics but they are as good as your going to get from the Wii. When your driving at 180mph through Eau Rouge you dont really have that must time to take in the scenery anyway!
The controls work very well. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you get to grips with the controls they work very well.
This game can be played by all as there are multiple options to make the game as easy or as difficult as you like, so even the most experienced F1 gamer will have a challenge.
The best part of the game is the career mode. Its great that you have to go and test for F1 teams before you get offered a drive. I will be playing this game for a very long time.
This game is a must for any F1 fan.
A fantastic adult racing game!! December 8, 2009

I own both the Xbox and PS3 and the Mrs owns the Wii. I never buy games for the Wii as i always see it as a bit gimmicky and for the kids. This game changed all that for me. Ive been waiting for a new F1 game for ages and i didnt want to wait till next year for the Xbox or PS3 versions.
Ive got to say i expected an arcadey F1 experience with this, with the grandstands full of those stupid Mii's you see in every other game on the Wii, but how wrong was I. This is simply superb, the graphics are actually decent for a Wii game (expect PS2 standards and you get the picture) and is by far the best game graphically ive seen on the Wii and a lot better than the previews have given it credit. The gameplay is just as good, it has quick race, weekend, championship and even career mode. It cannot be faulted. The menus are clear and precise and there are awards to unlock.
But the gameplay itself is simply outstanding. I wasnt expecting much if im honest and debated getting this but its simply addictive! The wheel works wonders, steering response is fast and braking and accelerating is taken care of with the buttons. It takes a bit of getting used to but after a few laps you're hitting the apexes of corners like a pro and trying to shaves seconds off your time, the steering wheel aspect really makes this game and it stands out from other driving games for this reason. If you dont have the money to afford a next gen console and ultra-spec steering wheel like a Logitech, then this more than gives you a rewarding driving experience. I actually use the wheel that came with MarioKart and simply bought the F1 game on its own.
There are weather conditions that change mid race and work really nice-this came as a shock to me because i wasnt expecting that sort of detail from a Wii game, there is damage-albeit basic, a very good radio pit crew informing you all the way round and a real feeling of immersion when racing. Dont expect next-gen type graphics or detail, but dont make the mistake of thinking this is a kids game either, its not. It more than satisfies the adult racer and it keeps you wanting to go back for more. with beginner, medium and expert difficulties its a real challenge. Throw in full qualifying, pitstop and hard and soft tyres and this becomes (in my opinion) the best racer on the Wii by far. If you have been humming'n'arrghing about getting this then i can only say 'take the plunge". Its well worth it and a fantastic racer. Codemasters have done an excellent job here and its probably been rather under-estimated in my opinion, but as some of the other reviewers on here are finding, its actually a really decent racer. Well worth the money, im really happy with it.
proper emersion in racing February 10, 2010

i only own a wii in fact since my playstation 1 i haven't owned a console until this.The wii lacks in graphics we all know and they lean towards family arcade style games with some good regenerated games from the other platforms so you don't expect a lot for the adult market.
This is just the game to change all that someone finally decided to make the most of the wii's player interaction in a game that's clever and very addictive.It takes some time to get used to the steering and braking even on easy setting but then when your travelling at 180 mph through chicanes you wouldn't expect it to be easy. Sitting in front of a 42 inch screen with surround on and the front wheels in front of you, wheel in hand it really comes good, my heart gets racing anyway.
I won't pretend to know all about frame rates, graphics processors or next gen consoles etc all i can say is this game pulls you in because it drives like a race car looks like race circuit sounds like an fi engine and keeps you on the edge of your seat hugging the curves looking for some space down the inside or out breaking the car in front after hitting the kern button on the straight.......you get the picture i'm sure .
Don't expect to master this in five minutes or put it down for months.Its very very good you won't regret this buy in my opinion makes the most of the wii even changes how you think of it.
Great Racing for the Wii February 26, 2010

I've given this top marks on my partner's behalf (I bought it for him for Christmas). It's the one game that he returns to again and again. The game frustrates our son (9), who is brilliant at things like Need For Speed but that's the nature of F1 games, which (quite rightly) demand a different driving style.
