Codemasters F1 2010-2011

Grand Prix 2010 was a masterpiece of a game and in September, the new F1 2011 will be released.

I've lost many hours playing F1 2010 even though it had it's faults, it was an amazing first attempt by Codemasters to provide we F1 fans with a game that didn't just provide us with a taste of what it's like to drive an F1 car, but they also included a feel of what it's like to face the camera's and answer question's from the media by add their 'Live the Life' adaptation of a F1 driver's life at the track. The media side does become a little monotonous after going through the same question's time after time, but the thrill of attending a Q&A session after getting a podium position is a great sense of achievement.

I use a Logitech G25 wheel and once you have the settings for force feedback and other wheel setting's suitable to your driving style, the game comes alive and you're ready to set off to Bahrain on your first drive in a full 24 car race.

If you've never driven a F1 circuit, either in real life or via a PC game, it takes practice, patience and tenacity to try and keep up with the rest of the field in your first race.
