I looooove this game...I was convinced that I would within five minutes of reading n watching videos about it.. just one of those that you know you're going to be into even before playing... I love formula one so the theme just strikes a chord with me. It's a racing game of luck and strategy.... because you start with the shifting of the gear that you want to use for your movement, then select the dice associated to the number corresponding to that gear. Once the dice rolls you will move you little car according to the number you get on the dice.. fx: 1-2 gear is a 4 sided die, so you have four possible options. If you roll a 1, you move one space, 2 is 2 and so forth. But there's a lot of stops that you have to make, so if you move ahead too much and don't make your required stops, you lose points and those points are crucial to make sure your brakes don't mess up. There's also points for your engine, body, etc... It's really cooL. I have not played any other racing game but I have watched some videos about other tittles and I think this is the best one of it's genre. If you're looking for a great fun game or are a bit on the fence about which racing game to get... I recommend you go with this one.
