    Haven't had any fun at all playing this game. Career mode is just a no-show in my opinion mainly due to the A.I. and the ridiculous decisions made by Stewards where you and only you are the only one ever at fault. In the first two races during qualifying another driver went straight into the back of me while turning a tight corner and in both instances I was hit with a ten place penalty.Haven't had any fun at all playing this game. Career mode is just a no-show in my opinion mainly due to the A.I. and the ridiculous decisions made by Stewards where you and only you are the only one ever at fault. In the first two races during qualifying another driver went straight into the back of me while turning a tight corner and in both instances I was hit with a ten place penalty. Not only that but the other drivers are terrible at getting out of your way when you're setting a time and they're only driving around in preparation for a flying lap. They tend to move off the racing line inviting you past and then swing back across it to cut you off. But the worst thing about this game is the shocking, SHOCKING voice acting. Thank god I found the option to turn that idiot off, completely ruins the immersion of the game when he suddenly comes on the radio shouting in an entirely unconvincing urgent tone "Box, box, box!" when I was just doing practice laps and was slowly returning to the pit lane with no hint of panic or urgency. It's only saving grace is that I like to drive a few laps of the track before the real life GP's just so I know the track, but it's absolutely not worth the money for that purpose alone.… Expand

    Codemasters suck at making games, The F1 franchise is littered with errors and poor gameplay and lack of balance. I have been suckered in to buying all 3 incarnations of the franchise in the vain hope of Codemasters getting it right one day. Never again will I spend a cent of my money on this title. It is just a cash grab by Codemasters. Same repackaged. Where in the world is Geoff Crammond?

    The multiplayer in this game does not work in Canada or the U.S. Buyers beware!

    My user profile randomly got corrupted. Had to start career from scratch.

    Then steam decided the game wasn't even installed on my pc.

    TOO MANY BUGS!

    Boots up in some random f*cking language, literally unplayable. I don't want to use google translate to play a Formula 1 game. There's no fix for this problem so far that I know about.

    This game, if you do not have a wheel it's a complete mess, playable only in the dumb "please help me with a lot of aids!" mode. Gamepad optimization is really poor, expecially consodering this is not a simulator. So, well, with the wheel? Since this is not a simulator, but an arcade game that requires a wheel to be enjoyed (at least) this suck. Have to set up a wheel? Well, gotta playThis game, if you do not have a wheel it's a complete mess, playable only in the dumb "please help me with a lot of aids!" mode.

Because of realism. IA in this game is simply ridicolous, so it's the multiplayer mode. Try again please, F1 need a better game. Or we just continue to paly really better mods, as with a PC we can.… Expand

    *WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A LOGITECH G27 WHEEL*
    Over a year after it's release and Codemasters still haven't fixed the feedback issues (or lack thereof) that have made the G27 wheel a bad controller with this game. It seems that they only care about driving using only gamepads.
    By the way F1 2010 & 2011 work beautifully with the G27.

    F1 racing game does not differ much from last year's installment – it brings just a few new game modes and slightly better visuals – F1 2012 is a great game nevertheless. [Oct 2012]

    Rather than wheel out a new car for this year's season, F1 2012 is content to dust off last year's model and slap on a new set of tyres. [Nov 2012, p.83]

    As it stands, F1 2012 is the best F1 game I have ever played, and for anyone who is interested in the sport, then you really owe yourselves to check out this great representation of F1.
