I'm not a big race fan and this game does nothing to capture my audience. I do enjoy racing but from my brief play of this game it is no different than any other racing game. For me, I want a racing game to be a high end fantasy production that captures me, pulls me into the atmosphere. This game is so bland it fails to do that on all fronts. First off the game software designers were noticably lazy on many fronts. It all starts with inputing a name. You will likely find your name missing from selections and this is a huge turn off for a simulator, when text is such a small part of a blu ray disc. The next thing you will notice is a cheesy PS2 like world done very poorly, so why even bother? Your agent looks and moves like maybe even a psone character, well I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say PS2. But this sets the stage for further disappointment. Next you move on to the cars and find they sound like tin cans not the powerful beasts they are in real life. There is no realism to their sounds. Even on TV you can feel the power of the F1 cars. This game? Hardly any of that feel is captured at all. Other expectations not met: I do not feel claustrophobic in my car and the sound of the engine is pretty feeble. I want some high end sound coming from the game and instead its flat. I want to hear my tires squeal and want to feel the pull of my treads on the ashphalt, and I also want to feel like I was in a real accident if I go off track and crash and I want smoke from the tires. This game is no better than any other race game from past generations in this respect. Further, i want a simulator of F1. Should I hit another car I should be disqualified with a broken car and have to try again. An accident in this game, the two cars just stay locked together and travel down the track one forward and one reverse? C'mon. It should be easy to loose your career and it should be very difficult to become a master of the courses and race without being bumper cars. Well at this point I'm not interested at all in this game. Maybe it has great physics and weather, I don't know I will never find out because the rest of the game is so poorly done I'm not interested in going further. At best this could be a good arcade game but for a simulator its pathetic.I'm going to have the last laugh here. Everyone rating this game highly is only rating it highly based on visuals and speed. Apparently the thrilling rush of speed is enough to rate a game high. I look at it from a different perspective. Is the game good? No. It is clear 10 minutes in a lot of lazy programming and I will have the last laugh after it takes the rest of you 20 hrs to realize the gameplay will contain the same laziness like BAJUS described and also some of the profession reviewers who pointed out even if you beat vehicles in time trial they can be placed ahead of you on the grid. How can you say the gameplay is a good similator. That's how it works in real life? LOL.
One other thing i would like to add is that i bought a logitech driving force GT and it seems to work nicely and improve the game immersion quite a bit. There however does not seem to be a ton of preference options for the wheel but the wheel none the less feels good while playing with what is offered.… Expand
