Reception

edit

IGN gave the Dreamcast version a 7.1 out of 10 overall praising the presentation of the game but criticised the graphics.[5] N64 Magazine called it too similar to the previous game, giving it 72%.[6]

Sequel

edit

A successor, F-1 World Grand Prix III, was in development and would have been based on the 1999 or 2000 season, but was never released.[8]

F1 World Grand Prix 2000, published by Eidos Interactive (with Video System also credited in the game's box art) and developed by Eutechnyx, was released on March 8, 2001 for the PlayStation and PC.
