Championshipis the latest offering and is the official game of the Mobil 1 British Rally Championships, so comes endorsed with and sporting all the genuine rally cars and sponsors. With a choice of 21 different cars you won't be stuck for a set of wheels.With driving games, control is everything and the controls inRally Championshipare relatively well balanced. You have the option of setting the gear ration, suspension, brake balance, tyres and the steering sensitivity. You can also play manual or automatic transmission, which at first sounds like an easy choice, but with experience, a manual transmission offers more power and direct-driving control. But even equipped with these options, the controls don't seem to be as refined asVirtual Rally IIor the popularColin McCrae Rallygames.The graphics are not breathtaking, but the overall visual effect is original and worth a mention--the rays of sunshine scattered through the woodland tempts you to stop and take a closer look, if it wasn't for the Skoda Octavia jostling your rear end. The weather effects are also very impressive, as is the mud that accumulates on your bumper as you skid around the track.Rally Championshipis a worthy rival to the competitors on the market and does need practice and some skill to win. Gone are the days of holding down the accelerator--Rally Championshipdemands the use of brakes. If you are searching for a new rally game, with an impressive two-player option,Rally Championshipis a serious competitor. --Chris Hall

Advantages: Brilliant footage, lots of it, flexible. Disadvantages: The races weren't very good in 2000, useless menu system, typically poor commentary.
With the 2001 Formula One season having drawn to a close, petrolheads like myself are forced to look for other means of getting our F1 fix. For the first time, the season review of Formula One has been released on DVD, allowing for a far more extensive season guide than has been produced before.
In raw terms the difference is noticeable immediately - the VHS season guides typical feature around two hours of footage; the 2000 season DVD has 255 minutes of digital material. Each race can be viewed independently from the main 'Super' channel, incorporating track views, on-board cameras (OBC) and shots from the pitlane. Alternatively, the interactive feature allows you to flick between shots either from the main 'Super' channel or from an alternative trackside view, an OBC, the pits or the data stream.
It's a great concept but ...

Formula one in 2000 was a good season. It was the first Year on the grid for Britain's Jenson Button and you get to see Michael Schumacher fighting it out with Mika Hakkinen. 2000 was also the year where David Coulthard won his second British Grand Prix so there is plenty to celebrate, and there is plenty of action when the Monaco GP is red flagged and restarted.
At the Italian Grand Prix a Race Marshall was killed (this is not shown) and this was said to have effected Schumacher's form but that doesn't stop him taking the title.
As with all Formula one reviews this DVD does contain all the best action from a great season.
You are able to choose how you would like to watch the DVD. You pick the race event and then u can choose to watch the continuous version where it then allows you to pick the chapter ...
