Well I finally received my copy of Formula One Grand Prix which was released last week in the UK. A bit steep at 34 "quid" which works out to almost $60, but I am an F1 fan so I guess it is worth it.

Quick Synopsis
Intro Movie: Not bad.
GUI, User interface: Good.
Authenticity, Looks of Teams, Cars, Drivers, Season, Tracks, Podium Ceremonies: Excellent.
Handling: OK. Three car setup modes, balanced (middle is very easy to pickup).
Speed, Refresh: I think it's running at a full 60, but I can't be sure, it's fast though.
Damage: None, just a little flash on the screen with "damage", hasn't slowed me down yet.
Assists: Brake Assist Option can be either ON or OFF. I haven't graduated to off yet.
Computer AI: I am still on Easy Mode which is not bad.
Music: Typical euro-alternative, but I'm dissapointed because you can't select random play, so the default is the same song unless you change after the race starts.
Sound Effects: A little tinny and not very realistic. Only cool when you are driving with 15 other cars buzzing around you.

I played a few mini games, but always went back to the season, which is pretty cool. For all you F1 Fans in the US with PSP's, go ahead and pick this one up. It'll keep you entertained for a few months, at least until the end of the season. Plus, I think they're going to have some content / downloads posted on link towards the end of the season.
