F1 2010

Not quite what I've expected

I've played it for a few hours. Nice graphics and atmosphere, but it's not too close to an F1 simulator. I mean if you try it on extreme with no aids you can still drive that car without too much trouble. Hard on the brakes, or full throttle and you're not locking the wheels or spin too easy. It's pretty hard to make mistakes..It seems so arcade compared to rFactor for example. I know that Codemasters wanted to make a game accessible for most of the people, but it's a shame that even on the highest level of difficulty you can't enjoy a real driving pleasure.

Even more, you can't even drive the car on the pits lane, it's on auto-pilot! WTF?? Why it should be like this? I want to drive it myself in and out of the pits..What's the sense of the limiter button in this context?

In conclusion do not get too excited. It looks extraordinary but that it's pretty all that you get.
