F1 2011, Good Racer or Crash Test City?

For a game that is fully based around a simulation of fast cars and sharp nerves, You'd expect F1 2011 to crash and burn like many that have come before it, but as proven from the incarnation beforehand, this game is actually quite a thrilling and gripping game.

F1 2010 had many awards under its belt, so 2011 has a lot to look up to, and boy does it captialise on success, made by the lovely lads and lasses at Codemasters Birmingham, this game is perfect in every way for a gamer that loves Formula 1 and the thrills it gives with each race.

This incarnation of the game adds the new rules and regulations of the actual 2011 season, which include DRS and the return of KERS, it also stays true to the sport in the tyres, every set of tyres are Pirelli made, and the differences from last year are astonishing, the cars handle totally differently from 2010, and driving 10 million pound cars at 200 mph can unnerve even the most hardcore player.

Multiplayer this year hosts a full 24 person grid, 16 taking up human slots and the rest covered by AI, also within Multiplayer is the new Co-Op Championship, where you can team up with your best mate and make the most thrilling races even more thrilling still.

Overall, the game is an amazing representation of the real sport, and fun can be had by even the most novice drivers. and although the game doesnt have much in terms of a tutorial, it can be easily picked up, just be careful not to run the car into the nearest wall at over 200 MPH. I give the game an 8/10, this leaves room for the game to improve even more, and I look forward to 2012!
