A great technical racing game with the F1 licence. This game is an excellent example of how you use your licence exactly how it is suppose to be used. The Formula 1 has several modes where you can get a challenge out of the game. There is the Proving Grounds, Champions Mode and the Career modes to explore.
Proving grounds is a good way to casual players to be introduced to the game. Championship Mode gives the player a challenge by going against the biggest stars in challenges to beat them. Career mode has the regular mode to be expected out of a career mode. Where the player progresses and gets contracted to the bigger teams and trying to get to the top.
The bad:
The presentation of the game seems generic and has no personality to it. There is a certain slick look to it, but it doesn't really say a lot about the game.
The game can be very punishing for those that aren't very experienced with the game. If you make a mistake it can cost you dearly if you aren't careful. The tutorial does introduce you to the game and what is in it, but it is very short and doesn't have a lot of depth for new players in the series. There is also not a lot of help for newcomers how to tune the car or go deeper. But that can be explored if you have patience and play the game a lot. Experienced players won't have a hard time here.
The Good:
The racing experience might be the most technical in the racing genre to date. If you handle the car right and know what to do with it, then there is a lot of reward for the player and the game will become just plain fun to play.
All of the modes can give you enough challenge for some time, and if you don't find that challenging enough, there is always the option to turn assists off.
The online part of the game is really strong, and can be quite fun. There is no issue with lag spikes in the game, unless the player has a shady internet connection.
The gameplay is solid in every way, though it can take time to get quite the hang of things. It will be fun when you can master tracks and corners on tracks like the stars.
The sound is also magnificent to hear when you play. The roar of the engine is magnificent to hear and really gives life to the game
It's a great game overall, might be a little tough for newcomers. But if you spend some time with the game it is a game to be enjoted for racing lovers.
