RACING The new F1 game from Codies

Thank god, there should always be an option for us noobs. I don't even think I can change a tire in real life

New video looks great. Is so in depth, this game. You get to see all that goes on in the garage, fine tweak your car setup to your liking after your car has been set up according to the track, press conferences and media for after races and even practice and qualifying sessions and in the career mode, the difficulty setting affects which teams you can join and you just start as a race driver rather than sometimes a test driver like in F106.

Only 48 days until the game is out now. Can't wait.

The game is now out

My aunt bought it for me and it is being sent down. Hopefully it arrives before I go on holiday. This game is going to be so good.

Oh great! I was looking forward to this one. Looks good, potentially a good F1 game after ages!

IS there no Demo available? Would have loved to see how it performs on my system.

I will post my experience here. All the review scores have been between 8 and 9.

If I get the game before I go on holidays and get a go of it, I'll post a small detail here and then I'll post some more when I get some more experience when I get back from holidays. I'll also be doing a story on it in the career mode so you can look forward to that.

From what I can see, there will be no demo. Thanks, Codies! :

Well I will give you's all a review so you can decide whether you want to play the game.

Thanks buddy.

np. But like I said, it could be a few weeks if I don't get the game by Tuesday as I'm barely going to have a chance to play it, let alone review it if I get it on Wednesday considering we have to leave about 10 am.

I'm almost tempted by this. I follow Andy Gray, Codies PR guy for cricket and F1, on Twitter so I've seen quite a lot of preview links and vids.

You must have a rental store near you?


Game arrived this morning, just about to test it out. Early rumours are it is fun, but some bugs around. I'll give it some time before I make some assessments.

I'd be getting it on PC - if I get it - does anywhere rent PC games?

Here's a quote from the IGN review:

Codemasters' F1 2010 fills a yearning chasm, and it jumps its first hurdle brilliantly; this is as visceral a take on the art of threading 600bhp through less than half a tonnes' worth of steel, carbon fibre and rubber as a console's ever seen. Driving these things is every bit as joyous as it should be, and the cars manage to nail the perfect blend of being predictable yet terrifying; bulls-eying apexes is an easy enough exercise thanks to the pounds of downforce generated by the car's wings, but braking and acceleration can prove delightfully skittish as they threaten to spear themselves into the nearest wall – and any worries that the arcade bent of DiRT and GRID would make its way to F1 2010 are extinguished in one run.

That last bit is especially encouraging - sounds as though we have a sim F1 game here.

But such teething problems don’t obscure the fact that F1 2010 is easily the best Grand Prix game since Geoff Crammond was on the beat. Its driving is second to none and is brought alive by a dynamic weather system, while its racing is as thrilling as the real thing. It’s an exacting take by a team that clearly understands what makes F1 tick, and while a handful of issues hold it back from challenging Forza and Gran Turismo just yet, for now racing fans can rest assured that the world’s fastest sport is in safe hands.

It certainly does have some issues, these have been recognised by one of the devs, hopefully we'll see it being patched, rather than work going straight on to 2011.

Our games rental place does PC games. Don't know if you'd get it in BlockBusters or that type though.

Early impressions after 10 laps at Korea. Feels quite good, the king of this game is supposedly the AI drivers, I've yet to experience it though or give any real depth on the game.
