F1 2011 (Xbox 360)

Good

If you like driving and driving games, you'll love this. I'm not a particular fan of F1, but the thrill of trying to get an F1 car round a track as fast as you can with no assists is amazing.The dynamic weather works well, giving you a feeling that you're racing rather more in the real world than in a game like Forza 4.To get the most out of the game you're really, really going to need a wheel. Luckily the Microsoft Speed Wheel I have is cheap, and works well with the game. It definitely makes it far easier to control throttle and brakes. Steering is of course much more intuitive and sensitive.AI is excellent. Easy is easy to beat, but harder skill levels are really fast and intelligent. Great stuff. Weirdly drivers tend to be much faster in practice than qualifying, which I don't think reflects real life.The only downside I can think of is the slightly cheesy and irritating career "interviews" after races. A tv reporter asks you various questions to which you can give one of three or four set answers. I think it's meant to help develop your career in some way. Not sure.

I still like this one the best, even after having played 2012 and 2013.It fixed the only significant problem I had with the first game; the constant screen freeze.It also made the first-person experience feel more immersive and authentic; fx in how the vehicle vibrates and shakes on the track.The later games are lacking in this and therefore don't feel as authentic to me as 2011 does.The game allows the user to fine-tune the difficulty by offering many AI-difficulty options, the later games don't offer the same range.I also prefer the physics in this game over the others, it plays like an arcade-sim hybrid, which is what Codemasters do best.Because of these things I consider this the best F1 game by Codemasters.

I used to love F1 '97 on the old N64, and thought I'd relive my glory days, but unfortunately, things have moved on, and my reactions have only gotten slower... The graphics and realism is amazing, even to the extent where you have a tiny bump with your opponent, and the front wing shatters into a million tiny bits! You can (I think) adjust the damage and difficulty in the settings, but I've always found racing games to be a bit boring without enough realism, so I think I'll struggle on and improve the old fashioned way - practice (and qualifying!)...

This game is considerably better coded than some other driving game products. It just seems much more realistic.Perhaps the manufacturers could include a sliding scale set up for virtual reality. On one end it could say "parameters similar to professional F1 simulator" and at the other end the scale should read "Twockers Virtual Ridiculous (TVR)".Enjoy.If this review has confused you, or you do not quite follow the subtlties, please don't buy an Audi TT in real life.

F1 2011 wasnt as good as previous year

The delivery was super fast, took 40 hours since the purchase.The game is overall quite fun and has many challenges.The only thing which annoys me is the drastic change of performance from the AI if you switch it from intermediate to hard difficulty.

5 stars is not enough for this gameA brilliant game, just like driving the real thing. The graphics are far better than the 2010 one. When using the steering wheel It's just like being behind the wheel of a F1 car
