"Formula 1" is the first racing game in Sony's "Formula One" series. Unlike later games in the series, this game's cover has no specific driver on it.

Published by Psygnosis, "Formula 1" is based on the 1995 Formula One season, although it was released in 1996. It is distinct from its sequels because it was made after the end of the season, meaning that it features driver substitutes.

Gameplay

Formula 1 follows the 1995 Formula One season, with 17 tracks, 13 teams and 26 drivers. The teams are:

The circuits are:

Later tracks have 24 competitors on them instead of 26 because Simtek pulled out of the actual championship after the Monaco Grand Prix. It is still possible to drive a Simtek on any course after Monaco, creating a field of 25 drivers.

Commentary

This game saw the introduction of in game commentary, which was done in the English version of the game by Murray Walker, the German version by Jochen Mass, the French version by Philippe Alliot, the Spanish version by Carlos Riera and the Italian version by Luigi Chiappini.

oundtrack

Along with songs created by Psygnosis in-house composer Overdrive, the soundtrack also features the tracks Juice from Steve Vai and Summer Song and Back to Shalla-Bal from Joe Satriani.

Development

The game was reasonably well received, with the PlayStation version earning a 7.6 on GameSpot while the PC version received a 6.0. IGN.com gave the PlayStation version a 8.0.
