Another Konami classic, the F-1 Spirit Remake is a niche racing game that will only appeal to fans of the original. Each track consists of several laps to complete, and requires plenty of practice just to squeeze in a top finish.
Not a bad effort but one that will not be appreciated by many, even with new features not found in it's predecessor.
I disagree only fans of the original will like this game.
Yes, it requires practice, and yes, it does require you to use the BRAKES (something few bird´s eyes view racers require). But after you get the grasp of how to play, its an immensely satisfying game. The problem is that people expect bird-eye view racers to be very arcade-like and easy, but this is the closest you will get to a simulation in a non-3d game...
If you like simplicity and EASINESS, go to Road Fighter instead...
