Has anyone got this game? I've been looking at the screenshots on www.grandprixgames.org, and it looks amazing :shock: (Well, with the latest mods ;)).

My friend has the game, is it worth borrowing and playing? :smiley:

Yes, I have. I bought a second hand copy about 2 weeks ago. I 'Played' it once & have not played it again. I think it's the most utter dose of sh*t going around.

Borrowing for sure, but not buying. Although I bought mine for $15~ & it was'nt a fortune, I think it was a waste of money.

I play GP3 alot & that game is fantastic. I've recently updated my graphics card software & it makes the game extreme realistic it's even more fun to drive.

I've also been downloading some of the mods at: grandprixgames.org which include liveries for the different years & such, & it's quite spectacular. The A.I has also increased & the game is so much more challenging & realistic that I dont have any need to buy a new F1 game for quite a while. When the new track & team liveries/art come out, I'll just download it from there & update my GP3 game with it.

GP3 is such a great game with smooth graphics it's really fun. When I "Played" GP4 it was all blockly, & the realism was'nt there. It was a shame because I had such high expectations of that game & now it's sitting on my shelf above my computer gathering dust.

The choice of wether to buy it or not is your, but if I had my time again, I would'nt

I've now got Grand Prix 4. What patches do I need to start off? I'd like to modify it as well :smiley: What programs do I need? Can anyone give me a site with some good links on it?

I got it a year ago. I play it hardly because I don't get the fuck*** game pad to work. :evil:

I prefer every now and then a quick game with STCC 2. Easy, boring but cool! :haha: :cool:

I had a funny moment on GP4 a few minutes ago. Looks similar to the crash of Albers. :mrgreen:

On purpose perhaps?

Yep. :tongue: I drove the Albers car, I slowed down in the Villeneuve corner so Ide tried to overtake me on the inside. I kept the racing line and then it was the crash :haha:

Nothing wrong with ebay really. As yet, I've not had a sale that's gone pear shapped. Give it a go :thumbsup:

BTW, 25 pounds is abit much. I only paid $14 (Australian) for my copy, which would be around 8 pounds (Roughly).
There is no such thing as a risk, when you don't have EVERYTHING you want
