    Maybe the most ridiculous copy and paste, without 5mins of work for improve a game, of all times... just kidding, because now drive the car seems fking easy and boring, also without helps.

    As I expected, the game has no improvement for a couple of years now. Maybe FIA should shift the licence to another company. Codemasters is clearly releasing this, year after year, just for the bucks.

    To summarize: This is probably the worst racing game I've ever played.

    The game doesn't have improved handling. Codemasters have said that the handling model is improved, but it's not any better than F1 2013. The cars are very planted through corners (almost as planted as on F1 2013) and the cars only experience sliding through slow corners and on the exit of hairpins when you apply the    To summarize: This is probably the worst racing game I've ever played.

    The game doesn't have improved handling. Codemasters have said that the handling model is improved, but it's not any better than F1 2013. The cars are very planted through corners (almost as planted as on F1 2013) and the cars only experience sliding through slow corners and on the exit of hairpins when you apply the throttle. In my opinion, the wheelspin doesn't feel accurate and realistic, neither does the handling. The car is far too easy to drive. Handing: 3/5

    Another problem with the game is that pad and wheel users have significantly different experiences whilst playing the game, due to artificial advantages given to the gamepad. These advantages include extra traction and less oversteer, although slightly more understeer. In wet conditions, this renders pad users roughly 1-2 seconds quicker than wheel users. Wheel and pad users should be equal on track, but they aren't.

    The online experience has not been improved over F1 2013, with desync and lag hits common during races. For some reason, it seems worse on this game than on F1 2013. The sidepod glitch of previous games is also in this game. The lag and glitches ruin the chance to have a close battle with someone else during races.

    The graphics are slightly improved and the car models are relatively good, giving a realistic rendition of the 2014 F1 cars. The tracks are also modelled well, although some glitches with kerbs and barriers exist on some tracks. Graphics: 4/5.

    The AI in singleplayer are still poor, forming trains during races and backing out of overtakes during every opportunity. The AI also have a pace advantage during some conditions as they run different assists compared to the player.

    Overall, I'd give this game 3/10. The experience of racing isn't great, but Codemasters could improve if they remove glitches and make the cars more realistic to drive. Despite this, the game looks graphically appealing and the cars look good on track.

    I've put 150 hours into this game so I'd thought I'd write a review, giving my honest thoughts.    … Expand

    If you like paying for the same game alá copy and paste style over and over again, then this is for you, if not, ignore this crap release, it's a lousy console "childish" arcade racer at best with some of the industries worst physics, super stiff, impossible to drive of the track, unless you are new to the racing genera or an idiot, outdated graphics, especially the shaders and shadows,If you like paying for the same game alá copy and paste style over and over again, then this is for you, if not, ignore this crap release, it's a lousy console "childish" arcade racer at best with some of the industries worst physics, super stiff, impossible to drive of the track, unless you are new to the racing genera or an idiot, outdated graphics, especially the shaders and shadows, not working as they should, bad audio design and the whole new "environmental" crap that have poisoned formula make me sick, no kers, zero refuels, and again, it's the same game that was delivered last year, and the year before last year, and the year before last year, and the year before last year, with a few more tracks and new skins, but for your own health and safety, save your money.… Expand

    Codemasters should be ashamed for this brazen cash-in, made with the least possible effort. [Feb 2015, p.18]

    F1 2014 is not a bad game, it was built on solid foundations of its predecessors, but it doesn’t offer anything new and is clearly just an appetizer before the next-gen F1 2015. [13/2014, p.71]

    Don't go looking for any new features or updates. This year' incarnation is a product without purpose. [Issue#246]
