    Probably the only purchase I've made for the Vita so far. I have the PC version which I really like and hav played a lot. I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking for the Vita version, but I was expecting something a bit better than this. Seeing as the Vita has 2 analogue sticks I don't know why we have to suffer an on/off acceleration and braking system.

I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking for the Vita version, but I was expecting something a bit better than this. Seeing as the Vita has 2 analogue sticks I don't know why we have to suffer an on/off acceleration and braking system. It really does spoil the game. I can understand some limitations of the device but there was no need to cut out most of the full version's presentation features and this makes the whole experience less personal and does not give any kind of gratification after winning a race. The AI are pretty awful also. As Zeng says before me, I don't think I'll be buying another racing game on the Vita unless a decent GT comes out, and not a version that sucks like the PSP one did. Buy if you are a hardcore fan who just has to own the game, but it's not something worth the price tag of thirty quid if you ask me!… Expand

    As an F1 fan, I enjoyed this game, though I would prefer a true simulation than part sim/part arcade this game delivers a playable experience which has provided many hours of entertainment. For my full review, please go to www.psvitaplus.com

    I haven't played the console version, but I still can't understand why this game isn't getting more love. I've owned it since release and still have a ton of fun with it. The controls are spot on, yeah the graphics could be better. There is no lag a ton of action going on, and the courses are rendered nicely.

    It's a good game. And very good multiplayer mode. But could improve the career mode and the action in pit-stops. The Challenger mode is excellent way to improve the abilities.

    A solid Formula 1 game. Sure more could be added to it but in terms of handling and sheer fun with all your favorite tracks i can't ask for much more.

    For the fans of the series and those who just like racing games in general, it's a great game. But personally I'll wait for something like Gran Turismo to come outt on the Vita.

    Some odd omissions like not utilising the right analogue stick and no rear view whatsoever. When I was called into the pits for the first time the entry was blocked by a long line of stuck cars! I like the handling and the graphics are quite good except for wet weather racing when wheel spray pops into view suddenly at certain distances. Frame rate seems good.

    Way too easy. At the end of my first season 50% of real race length driving for worst team Lotus Caterham I was able to win every race. That was on maximum difficulty and realism settings. It is such a big shame because I like everything else in this game. Graphics is very simple that is true but on the other hand Frame rate seems to 60 fps. Therefore the sense of speed is phenomenal.Way too easy. At the end of my first season 50% of real race length driving for worst team Lotus Caterham I was able to win every race.

There are also racing minigames but because of the fact that main racing is useless it is not worth buying. Problem is that even if you are racing worst car, it is always much faster with better acceleration than any other cpu controlled cars. Can be used only for trophy chasing because that will be very easy or multiplayer. Online lobby is always empty though.… Expand

    I have to say this is an underrated game. The AI is flawed (this is common in F1 games imo), but the game runs well, plays well (considering it's on a handheld) and does a great job of recreating the tracks.

    Career and Championship modes aren't especially engaging for me because the AI is rather slow - though people who don't play a lot of racing games might have a harder time with the game, and getting to grips with the KERS and DRS mechanics.

    You have a myriad of tuning options; ride height, camber, toe... ; the changes are all visible on the cars. The cars' suspension moves realistically too; making the cockpit view pretty cool.

    The most fun I have playing F1 games is taking cars to the track to try and set a quick time; and if you're like me and you're into handheld gaming then F1 2011 is definitely worthwhile.    … Expand

    F1 2011 could have been so much more. We can't complain in terms of content and online functionalities, but why does it look like a port of a PSP-title and slide the cars across the road like they're driving on ice? You'll learn to deal with this last flaw, but it does greatly diminish the racing experience.

    Has everything you expect from a formula game, but it is way too easy - the AI is too slow even in the hard-level. Textures are quite ugly, too. [Apr 2012]

    In the end the experience of piloting an F1 car around the world's premiere race tracks isn't here. This is one racer that gets the black and white flag for bad behavior. [April 2012, p74]
