    There are some missing features, but on the whole it's a great game. The handling is much improved and the AI is far and away the best I've seen in a Codemasters game. Even online races aren't bad if all players have good connections. You have to organize your own online seasons, but it's a minor issue as I was doing that before anyway.

    The guy below (kipp73) is wrong about the options

    The guy below (kipp73) is wrong about the options available online. The only thing missing in online sessions is the ability to do full qualifying (best you can do is 18-minute short qualifying). You can do 60-minute practice and full race, or no practice and 3-lap race...whatever you want.

    kipp73 is also wrong about downforce/drag settings. If he had the game for more than 3 days he might have realized that those settings are just initial positions that you can edit.

    Big fan of racing games and especially F1. This version is lacking some major features(Safety car etc.) and has some bugs. But that's enough negativity.

    I'm always trying to see the brighter side also and this game has it. What I love most is the most intelligent AI than there has ever been in racing genre. Also dynamic weather is working well and power differences between constructors

    I have been A fan of formula one for a short time but to date this is by the far the best version in 2013
    I couldn't even keep the car on the track and that was on xbox, PS4s graphics make this a worthwhile look
    Even if your not a Motorsport fan....

    Compared to all other simulators this game is the best. It just could do so much better. It's very good, But its not changed much since 2012, and 2014 the last time i personally bought it. NEEDS ULTRA REALISM AND DAMAGE.
    -If you're an f1 fan it's definitively a must have.
    -Its been cut in half but its still decent lacking modes. -if you are even capable of playing this game (its really

    -If you're an f1 fan it's definitively a must have.
    -Its been cut in half but its still decent lacking modes.
    -if you are even capable of playing this game (its really fast and skillful) then you most likely want ultra realism and already know how to drive.
    -Graphics- very clear and realistic way better then forza or project cars but they are not up to new generation graphics, needs more realistic movment in car camera tpods window rolling, tyre rubber and bits (marbles) that get form in the line making, debris, dirty tracks more grity. overall more realism!
    Handling - you'll notice it has throttle control, very realistic still lacking proper phsycis (inertia, combustion, momentum) . Realism, The debris remains throhg a 100% other then saftey car from rubber and other things crashes (dynamic ultra real damage a slight hit, puncture, tyre explode if you do not box, pieces missing , warped rotors) playing a vitial role are lacking. This mandatory you need tohave realism.
    **The tires need to crinkle up on bracking etc and degrade, blister etc over the race.
    the suspension is off needs to bounce up and down and the cars fly over apex which are huge bumps
    saftey car is missing, which is fine but if you want realism then make a reason like the above which adds much more dynamics to the race and why there's a saftey
    Sound - needs more realism
    Gameplay- still good damage needs ultra realism which would really make the game including tyre wear , graphics physics

    Don't let the lack of race modes put you off. If you love F1 this is the best handling you will have experienced giving a breathtaking sensation of control and speed. Gorgeous in car graphics are the icing on the cake.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. F1 2015 is the highlight of the Codemasters f1 series which breathes new life into what was a failing series
    New features include podium ceremony, new online system, New championship season and new Pro Season Mode.

    A little bare bones, but looks and plays lovely and runs at a silky smooth 60fps. The future is promising for F1 games this generation. Recommended if you are a fan of F1...maybe wait for a price drop if you aren't. It's a very solid racer.

    The game is great for those who love F1 action. Single player is very enjoyable. Multiplayer works fine. Yes, it does not have a career mode like ealier F1 titles but I never found them immersive enough to care. I have both Project Cars and F1 2015 and I really liked Project Cars but I can't go back.

F1 2015 is just a more enjoyable pure racing experience. It has some problems and missing features (no safety car, for example); you can't change your race strategy at the start but you can during the race. Watch youtube career mode by Noble and you will really appreciate the game for many things it gets right. Expand

    When it works, F1 2015 is immensely fun and satisfying to the point of addiction. The problem is getting it to that stage, especially online. You could almost compare the latest addition of the franchise to this years McLaren Honda. The core package is there, but a few missing key elements allow it to slip behind the competition.

    This is a great game. Though it is true it lacks any kind of lengthy career mode, only offering a season mode where you chose a driver and go through the 2014 or 2015 season, the actual racing looks and feels great.

    It is like a trip down memory lane going back and seeing the cars with the older drivers, teams, and liveries.

    For the current price it is definitely worth the pick up!

    The best looking F1 game yet, it features the 2014 and 2015 championships, with all 19 race tracks, including the new russian GP in Sochi. The gameplay is perfect too, as cars don’t needlessly spin like in the previous outings. There is no career mode, but the championship mode is great, although there should have been more options.

    It's not a revolutionary game, it's amazingly low on content, and its also plagued by glitches and bugs. Why Codemasters? What happened? The driving, at least, is still pretty good.

    Not only Codemasters finally managed to release the game in the first half of the F1 season, and not when it ends, but the game itself has such a good driving model and is so fluent that it blows previous console editions out of the water. On the other hand, unfortunately, F1 2015’s content is very modest, with lack of a career mode being the biggest letdown. [09/2015, p.62]

    I am happy to announce that Codemasters are not leaving the novice players behind in order to chase the most realistic F1 game to date.
