DVD Reviews of Formula One 2000: World Championship Review
DVD Review: Not as good as the latest F1 Reviews, but still not bad....
Summary: 3 Stars
In addition to the 2000 review, I also have the 2004, 2005 & 2007 review DVDs. I think it's just a natural progression that they get better as time goes on. I for one didn't really like the way that this DVD was broken down into so many menu items. Too much navigating to watch it. It would have been much better to have just added the extra footage into the race video. However, having said all of that, 2000 was the year that Shumacher and Barrichelo in their Ferraris fought it out with Hakkinen and Coulthard in their McLarens. Although the race footage wasn't the highest quality, it was truly enjoyable getting to watch the season progress. If you're a true F1 fan, you'll enjoy this video. It was a great recap of an exciting year in F1. DVD Review: Is what it is, but the footage is good
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually got this after already owning 2004-2006 (I am still waiting for my 2003 to ship). Ok, there are some negatives, such as the lack of continuous play of all the events (each race must be selected from the main menu, and then there is even more button-pushing before you actually get to see the review), or the relatively short running time for each event, which means fewer features that we are accustomed to. I'd rather not get too harsh in judging this - it's an older title and I'd prefer to be glad that I can see something of what happened that year.
The good of this DVD makes it worth having, if you are an F1 fan. To me the filming somehow makes me feel closer to the scenery, not sure why that is (different cameras, lenses maybe?). The action is exciting, since this is some prime competition between Schumi, Hakkinen, and Coulthard, with frequent podiums from Rubens and Ralph as well. The gallic finger gesture from Coulthard in France, all the interesting interplay between Mika and Michael and the conversations with press afterward, and of course the horrific crashes in Monza, with a touching moment on the press podium with Mika, Michael, and Ralph as Michael ties Senna's win record - somehow the overall sportsmanship is more sincere and human. (Also, I am beginning to suspect that this is the F1 technology that made it to the GT4 game.)
Basically I am so glad I bought this DVD, even though watching it requres a bit of hassle with the remote.
DVD Review: A great season review, but special features are a bust.
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a great idea ... in theory. This DVD is packed with features like in-car camera, telemetry data, multiple camera angles, etc. Unfortunately it is a bear to navigate. All of the special features are brief and they return you to the main menu rather than the appropriate point in the race, and on a scale of 1-10, the picture quality is only a 6.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great DVD and I'm glad I bought it, I just think they could have done a better job with it. They have since given up on the additional features and subsequent annual reviews are more like traditional TV highlights.
DVD Review: Not the Best, But Come On! It's a FORMULA ONE DVD!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, this DVD cannot allow you to view every race summary of the 2000 F1 World Championship Series continuously. It's a minor flaw, in my opinion, and it's why remote controls were invented! The race summaries may leave you wanting, panting, even drooling for more, but to actually GET more, you'd have had to acquire a PADDOCK PASS for every F1 track on the calendar. (And, if you had that kind of access, what the heck are you doing online? Shouldn't you be in Monaco playing baccarat against James Bond?)
Yes, this DVD is far from perfect, but it is still an awesome disc for any Formula One fan, and the very minor flaws are not enough to ignore this quality product.
When you pop in the disc, you must first click the flag corresponding to the 2000 F1 race you wish to view. Then, you are directed to a menu for "CONTINUOUS" or "INTERACTIVE" viewing. "CONTINUOUS" plays every feature from beginning to end on that circuit, while "INTERACTIVE" allows you to watch any of the features at any point of the race. I usually choose "CONTINUOUS." At the next menu, you can choose to watch a summary of the race, a wider view from secondary cameras, an in-car camera, coverage of cars pitting during the race, or highlights of the "onboard computer" that shows the order of the cars during the races.
Let me tell you that I watched this DVD with great enthusiasm and satisfaction. I devoured the video highlights and the other extras, and it will take you some time to get through them all. The sounds are top notch, the picture is digital-quality, and the summaries give you a great sense of being there that many of us did not have in 2000.
Others have criticized this DVD for being what they felt it SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Unfortunately, it won't please everybody, and I'm not here to shout down the detractors. However, you are given so much quality video on this disc that criticizing it is almost ridiculous.
It's not all it could be, but it is MORE than enough to satisfy your hunger for Formula One sounds and visuals.
For quality Formula One coverage, it's the best-bet around, folks!
DVD Review: Milanoguy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this DVD in spite of the bad review from the guy in Laguna Beach. Well he was right and I was wrong. This is a terrible DVD. It is much worse than the season reviews on VHS that I've buying and watching for years. It is very hard to watch a complete race, there is less racing footage than before, and you can't watch the complete season in one sitting. Get familiar with your menu settings on your remote control you will be using them a lot.
Description of Formula One 2000: World Championship Review
All the excitement and exhilarating drama of the F1 Grand Prix 2000 season is contained on this disc featuring over 4 hours of footage. Every race is featured, starting with the pre-race build up. Select the interactive option and you can use the On Board Camera, join the action in the pits, or see the race data on screen. With cameras trackside and mounted on the cars facing front, rear, and at low level, action is captured from every angle. Put yourself in the center of the greatest motorsport event, hang on, and enjoy the ride!Hours of fun for F1 addicts, this official Formula One 2000 World Championship Review has neat interactive menu options that let the viewer switch back and forth between a number of perspectives during each race. First select the race you want to see, then choose either the "Continuous Version" (which runs highlights of each race) or the "Interactive Version," which is the really interesting bit. This lets you select the view from the on-board cameras or the trackside cameras, watch the reactions in the pit lane, or even see continually updated race data statistics. Gimmicks aside, this was a vintage F1 season anyway. From Australia to waterlogged Silverstone to the first American F1 race since 1991 at Indianapolis and beyond, 2000 was the year that Michael Schumacher gave Ferrari the Constructor's Championship for the first time in 20 years, not to mention winning the Driver's title for himself. --Mark Walker
