    I like this game it is better than ever in graphics and physics,,the feel of driving reminds me with f1 2002 by EA sports, it is fast and challenging, I didn't suffer any glitch or crash to desktop like i read in some review, it would be better if could use the mouse in menus

    I've been playing F1 games for as long as I can remember, and I really like the new handling. I only play with a pad but i can finally feel the track (and the rain puddles) under my wheels, the car is a wild yet controllable ride, and the engineer audio is cool. Graphics certainly better than 2014. The game lacks a career mode and I haven't played online yet, but so far a step-up.

    Should be a disclaimer that I DON'T PLAY ONLINE, AND I DON'T MIND ABOUT CAREER. Please keep that in mind, as the multiplayer is broken and the career being removed has caused temper tantrums in many other reviews.

    The AI are wonderful. They race, they do not just simply drive around the circuit like they used to. They try daring overtakes, not just on you, but on each other, and the

    The AI are wonderful. They race, they do not just simply drive around the circuit like they used to. They try daring overtakes, not just on you, but on each other, and the other cars defend realistically. They are prone to dumb mistakes, which is odd for Formula One drivers (except Pastor Maldonado), but all of this leads to dramatic, exciting races.

    The TV style is quite nice. I like it, all in all. They needed to record more audio for the commentators, because you will hear repetition a lot, but you hear the odd interesting observation, and all in all it is a nice little touch.

    The graphics are lovely. The game really shines (literally) at the night races at Bahrain and Singapore, and (not literally) in wet races. There will be the odd graphical glitch, such as a flickering wheel, but I (possibly not everyone, just me) have found that to be quite rare. The only bad looking part of the game is the driver faces.

    The game is a bit unstable. That is also an understatement. There will be glitches. There will be crashes to desktop. It is not in a good enough state to be released. Some computers handle the game better than others, I have found. Codemasters are releasing patches frequently, so this won't be a problem in a month or so.

    If you are a die-hard F1 fan who doesn't mind about career, buy it. If not, wait a bit. It will go on sale and the bugs will be fixed, and it will all be wonderful.

    The gameplay is better and you feel more the car on the track. This stuff like career does no matter to me. Whats is important is the crash more realistic, the AI a little bit more intelligent and that sensation inside the F1 car is few better the the predecessor.
    People just score low in my opinion they expect some "ultra" inovaction.

    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.

    F1 2015 offers the best driveability in the series yet, but really falls short with all the content missing from previous years. No career mode, come on? No safety car? [Aug 2015]

    If only the racing in F1 2015 was free of technical issues, had slightly better graphics and a better damage system, the game would stand on its own and wouldn't need additional gameplay modes (which aren't there). Right now F1 2015 looks more like an early access game that someday will become great. The biggest asset is having the current season in the summer and not later during the year.
