Play F1 2002 Online
Nailing Monaco’s tight turns with Schumacher’s Ferrari feels shockingly deep for a GBA racer—mess up your fuel load or miss a downshift, and you’re eating barriers.
F1 2002 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Visual Impact and published by THQ, arrived during a period when handheld racing games were often simplified arcade affairs. This title stood apart by attempting to translate the strategic depth of Formula One into a portable format, a notable ambition for its time and hardware.
You control a single driver through a full season, managing fuel loads, tire wear, and manual gear shifts via the shoulder buttons. The main objective is to win the championship by balancing aggressive driving with strategic pit stops. Signature mechanics include a surprisingly detailed damage model that affects handling and a qualifying session that determines your grid position. The pacing is deliberate, demanding focus on every lap, and the difficulty is unapologetic, punishing even small mistakes. It feels like a genuine test of concentration and foresight, condensed into the palm of your hand.
