The Armchair Empire - Dreamcast Reviews: F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa Not so with F355 Challenge, as it really does an exceptional job of making it feel like it is a Ferrari you’re driving. F355 Challenge is definitely well within the category of racing sim, not so much in that parts tweaking way a la Gran Turismo, but in terms of controls, handling, and course design. One aspect of F355 Challenge that is somewhat misleading is its game modes. www.armchairempire.com /Reviews/Dreamcast/f355-challenge-passione-rossa.htm   (1355 words)

GameSpy.com - Review New to the PlayStation 2 version of F355 is the great driver challenge, which takes a couple hints from the kudos system of Project Gotham Racing by allowing players to earn (and lose) points on the fly during a race. In particular, F355 Challenge fails to make use of the right analog stick and instead ties both acceleration and braking to the face buttons by default. F355 Challenge might have turned heads back in '99, but the three years since haven't been nearly so kind. archive.gamespy.com /reviews/october02/f355challengeps2   (849 words)

Ferrari 355 Challenge: Passione Rossa - GameCritics.com Generally, racing games are not known for stellar sound given the limited scope of the genre, but F355 Challenge manages to capture the roaring intensity of the race quite effectively.

F355 Challenge review for the DREAMCAST Most gamers tend to stick with the third person view that accompanies the majority of race titles, mainly to get a better view of what is going on around them. F355 turns out to be a really good Ferrari simulator, but just an average game. All of the control nuances are there, though the move from arcades to the console is not an easy one. www.gamerevolution.com /review/dreamcast/f355_challenge   (889 words)

The Adrenaline Vault | Sega Dreamcast Review | F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Despite their amateur status, the Challenge's racers don't slouch in their seats or merely tinker in the garage -- they are solid competitors, many of whom have participated in the series since its inception. The recently released F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa acknowledges the high level of competition and the very individual touches drivers will add to their cars and does its best to emulate this same level of professionalism for its players. Since F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa is in many ways an homage to the actual circuit, there is only one car available: the titular F355. www.avault.com /consoles/reviews/sdc/review_temp.asp?game=f355   (595 words)

Hands on: F355 Challenge (DC) - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) F355 Challenge was a truly daring arcade game to release because of its realistic nature - a 3 screen cabinet that gave players a feel of what it was like to be inside a Ferrari, and real driving gameplay to match the visuals. F355 Challenge packs a wallop of horsepower in the visual department. F355 is a racing simulation and it's definitely not for everyone. www.gaming-age.com /news/2000/8/7-55   (482 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on F355 Challenge : Passione Rossa for Dreamcast at Epinions.com F355 Challenge is a fun, challenging game that should appeal to lot of hardcore racing sim fans, but may be a bit too frustrating for the casual gamer. I love racing games, and I really love when they're challenging, but I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought Ferrari F355 Challenge. If you're looking for lots of cars, Gran Tursimo 2 is your game, but F355 Challenge is a SIMULATION of a Ferrari, a GOOD simulation of a Ferrari, and considering the amount of detail put into simulating the one car, you might as well be driving a Ferrari. www.epinions.com /content_44986044036   (1444 words)

Cheat Index - F355 Challenge Dreamcast Review When F355 Challenge arrived in arcades last year, racing fans were ecstatic to finally have a realistic driving game not based on a PC, but fans were left wondering how the inevitable conversion to the Dreamcast could ever stack up to the original. For those not familiar with the arcade version, F355 Challenge is Yu Suzuki's digital tribute to the Italian prancing horse (Suzuki himself drives a Ferrari). Ferrari's Challenge program has been around since the days of the 348, and it is designed to give Ferrari owners a chance to test their mettle against their peers on professional racecourses. www.cheatindex.com /dc_review.html?game=F355+Challenge   (529 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge However when you realise that it is not a walk in the park like most other driving games and that making adjustments to your car is actually crucial to your success, especially at the top difficulty setting, then it becomes different altogether. What sweetens the deal though is that Ferrari F355 appears to run at a greater framerate and gives a far more realistic sensation of speed than GT3. Ferrari F355 Challenge will appeal to all but the casual race fan who likes to pick up the gamepad and win with no effort. www.deafgamers.com /f355challenge.htm   (777 words)

FUTURE GAMEZ - Ferrari F355 Challenge Preview Ferrari F355 Challenge is a port of Sega's arcade game which was released in the arcades in late 2000, and then on Dreamcast in mid 2001. Upon release in 2000 Ferrari F355 Challenge is one of the most graphically impressive driving games ever seen. The cars (of which you can only choose the Ferrari F355) are wonderfully detailed and the six tracks are among the most detailed ever seen in a video game with some amazingly detailed ground and track textures. www.futuregamez.net /ps2games/f355/f355.html   (734 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez Following Sega's announcement last year that it was to become a multi-platform publisher, F355 Challenge was just one of a slew of great Dreamcast games to be slated for PS2 release. Try that sort of driving in F355 and you'll end up facing the wrong way in the gravel trap with the opposition disappearing into the distance so quickly that you probably won't see them again for the rest of the race. Still, F355 Challenge remains a solid effort and is well worth a place in the gaming collection of any PS2 owner who is prepared to put in the time and effort required to get the most out of the game. www.acegamez.co.uk /reviews_playstation2/Ferrari_F355_Challenge_PS2.htm   (1512 words)

Ferrari 355 Challenge Review - PlayStation 2 However, with the recent release of the officially licensed Ferrari F355 Challenge, a game once only found in arcades (actually there was a Dreamcast version released too), Sega has tried to fill the PS2's Ferrari void. Next, in great driver challenge, points are awarded for "sportsmanship and driving technique." Basically, this is just a race mode arcade game that allows you to also earn points for passing cars, using the "slip stream" (drafting), drifting, getting a fast lap time, and also for what place you finish. Ferrari F355 Challenge is a game for those who are really into this one particular vehicle model. ps2.gamezone.com /gzreviews/r20248.htm   (1925 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge Review - GamersHell.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) If you feel like playing with one of your mates you might take a brief look on Ferrari Challenge’s Multiplayer option, but be aware that without practising before your human opponents won’t be all too much of a challenge. During the game itself sound effects tend to be of equally poor quality, what is supposed to sound like a F355 engine roar could have been generated on any cheap synthesizer and the ever so squealing tires will get on your nerves before you can say “Suzuka”. There are few advantages, like the selectable F355 or the authentic courses, and disadvantages in handling and AI, but no major improvements or innovative aspects. www.gamershell.com /ps2/ferrari_f355_challenge/review.html   (698 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge Graphics - Motor Trend F355 Ferrari Challenge is limited to two views during play, cockpit or rear chase.

For the Ferrari connoisseur, F355 Challenge offers a competent racer with good graphics, a strong physics model, and the market's definitive look at this one sports car. www.motortrend.com /features/video_games/112_0308_ferrari_f355_challenge/graphics.html   (448 words)

Amazon.com: Ferrari F355 Challenge: Computer & Video Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) A game that’s been a long time coming to the PS2, Ferrari F355 is an immense challenge for the dedicated driving game fan--it's undeniably showing its age a little, yet not to the detriment of quality entertainment. Also, one of the new additions for the PS2 version, the great driver challenge mode, is a thoughtful feature as it continually evaluates your driving skill as well as assessing you via a more traditional stopwatch. F355 is a strange duck with regard to these two bastions of racing games. www.amazon.com /Ferrari-F355-Challenge/dp/B00006IGO5   (1768 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ferrari F355 Challenge is a racing game based on the actual race car and Ferrari event.

GameSpy: Ferrari F355 Challenge During the time of Dreamcast Sega released many great titles, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Set Radio, Ecco and while many of these titles were amazing in their own respects they didn?t garner the attention they should have. Wanting to bring some of their lesser known franchises to groups outside of their fanbase, Sega AM2 is porting F355 Challenge to PlayStation 2. Gameplay details on the game are very limited at the moment but, like the Dreamcast version, F355 on PlayStation 2 will allow gamers to play around on such world-famous courses as Monza, Suzuka, Motegi, Long Beach, and Fiorano. ps2.gamespy.com /playstation-2/ferrari-f355-challenge   (189 words)

New Games Reviews: F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Upon arriving in the arcades, F355 came sporting an awesome 3-screen setup powered by multiple Naomi arcade boards and a true driver's seat configuration, complete with a clutch. Further, licensing issues deemed that Sega itself would not be able to publish F355 in North America, but Sega was able to ink a deal with Acclaim (the holders of the Ferrari license at the time) to release it under the Acclaim label. Thankfully, the only apparent effect of Acclaim getting its grubby hands on the title is the name change, from F355 Challenge to F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa. gamescom.itgo.com /article28.htm   (997 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge shows visual splendour Shown for this first time inside of their west by developer Acclaim at E3 earlier their month, this Dreamcast version of that Naomi racer will be this first Dreamcast title producer by Sega to be published by a third party. The conversion is looking spectacular, and anyone that's pumped ridiculous amounts of cash into what arcade version to get even a remote potential of being able to play that game properly, will look forward to your release of your game with starry eyes. F355 ran on three screens and the same amount of Naomi boards at a arcades, but the Dreamcast outing relays the action almost perfectly on a TV screen. www.computerandvideogames.com /t/article/3do/ferrarif355challengeshowsvisualsplendour/id10061   (188 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge Review @ Gaming Target Spanning three twenty-seven inch televisions, F355 was definitely a showstopper due to the panoramic view and killer visuals. This is also not a dilemma with F355, as it is the most realistic driving simulator ever to grace the consoles. Even still, F355 Challenge proves to be a worthy addition to any die-hard racing fan's collection. www.gamingtarget.com /article.php?artid=1110   (1388 words)

FUTURE GAMEZ - Ferrari F355 Challenge Review Ferrari F355 Challenge is a game that I have always respected. These help greatly while learning to drive and can be turned on or off during races with the press of a button. All the tracks are now available from the very beginning and don't have to be unlocked while the game rewards gamers with video clips of Ferrari's history if you complete sections of the game. www.futuregamez.net /ps2games/f355/review.html   (1179 words)

Ferrari F355 Challenge PC Magazine - Find Articles This is a race car simulator through and through, but you really have to like the Ferrari F355, because it's the only model in the game—no Lamborghinis, Porsches, or Fords. If you are still reading, you'll be pleased that this is a complete port of the Sega-AM2 Ferrari F355 Challenge arcade game. In the arcade version, you had the benefit of three panoramic screens and, as in a real F355, a MOMO Design steering wheel and a gated five-speed transmission. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_zdpcm/is_200301/ai_ziff35513   (207 words)
