    The visual and driving improvements, compared to F1 2014, are more than obvious, but the game still lacks some crucial aspects, such as safety car, smart penalty system and more aggressive and intelligent behaviour for drivers controlled by CPU. Also, all the content and the ideas that Codemasters already has in its hands from previous installments (Career mode, Practice objectives, Classic mode, Diamond races, Champions mode and previous circuits, such as Hockenheim, Valencia, Nurburgring, India, Korea, Instanbul) must make their return in F1 2016.

    I don't know why some people rate 10 each and every game in Metacritic. Whats the point spamming and harming people? Be real.
    Why developers(annual titles devs) aiming for next-gens ripping off features? If Improving graphics and limiting features you call next gen transformation, Then i don't need this type of game.

    I own all of Codemasters previous F1 games (with the exception of 2014), and by comparison F1 2015 is far from the complete overhaul many ofI own all of Codemasters previous F1 games (with the exception of 2014), and by comparison F1 2015 is far from the complete overhaul many of us hoped for. The graphics, as always, are excellent, but it's still a game that doesn't quite know what it wants to be - a pure simulation or an arcade racer? For the serious sim-racer there's very little on offer; whilst the cars handle well, setup options are extremely limited. Look at all those fancy dials and switches on the steering wheel - guess how many are actually functional? Career-mode, one of the most enjoyable aspects of the previous games, has been completely excised. Given the potential of a genuine F1 sim, it's disappointing how little depth there is; there's little to offer in the way of longevity. Add to that a few graphics glitches, the occasional lag (even on a high-end video card), and it all amounts to same-old, same-old. Wait until it's $20 on Steam... Full Review »
