Made by a company named Codemasters and looks like crap.
I haven't seen graphics like that since 1992.

Glad it's not offered for the Xbox 360. :vader:

It's not that bad considering it's an early build for the Wii and freakin' PSP.

They are bringing out F1 2009 for those consoles, and doing a proper next-gen F1 2010 for PS3 and 360 to be released next season.

I'm gutted to be honest, but at least we have F1 CE on PS3 which still does a good job of quenching the thirst for console F1 even at it's venerable age.

I know Codies will do a good job on these games.

Championship Edition was alright. I liked the old cars and liveries, but other than that the game was pretty shallow. Had more fun playing Ace Combat 4 than a toned down F1 game.

Yeah those graphics look crap.

Hope the final version is much better (not that I'm getting it).

I'm not worried at all. Having played Codemaster racing games in the past, I have confidence that they'll do a good job.

As far as the graphics are concerned, these screenshots look ok for the PSP. I mean, we're talking about the PSP here people - not the XBOX 360 or PS3!!! Anyone who has seen DiRT or Grid for those systems knows that you really won't have to worry about the graphics.

Gameplay is another thing altogether - especially trying to strike a fine balance between Sim and Arcade.
