[edit] Formula One Arcade

Formula One 2001 wasn't quite Formula One's PSone swansong though. With the PSone having been relaunched as a console aimed more directly towards young children and budget video games, Formula One Arcade was released in mid-2002 at a cut price.

Drivers on the front cover, from left to right, are Eddie Irvine, Michael Schumacher and Jarno Trulli.

Based on the 2001 season, the game was centred around hectic racing action and was unashamedly unrealistic. Players competed in a quick race of just a few laps and had to collect pickups such as a speed boost (which made the car faster), large tyres (which gave the car more grip) and shields (which made the car invulnerable).

This was Studio 33's last foray with the Sony F1 license.
