    It's a good game
    I don't get why people keep whining it's not a sim
    It's a game for gods sake, a lot of people just want to have fun and play a game, and that's what this game is for.

    I like that they keep adding new features, to keep it interesting.

    Love the my team and split screen modes

    A great update to an already great game. The addition of My Team is welcome and adds a little more than the normal career mode. Slick graphics, frame rate and AI that isnt too bad al either not perfect. Only downside is the lack of immersion from your team when you are doing well or outperforming the car they dont mention it or get excited.

IF1 2020’s presentation is again this year amazing and I am eager to see what the next generation of consoles allows them to accomplish next. This years iteration of the best offering of the franchise on the family of Xbox consoles. Biking on last years fantastic game with a dedicated area for F1 esports, and the showroom provides a reminding of the classic F1 cars of the past. I immediately notice F1 2020 again is visually improved over its previous years entries from the overall graphical detail to the lighting control and AI also improved. The presentation is lush and the game loads extremely quickly which is a nice touch for the racing genre to take note of. For me the F1 games have always felt overly challenging as I tend to migrate to arcade style racers myself with lots of drifting and tight control. I do have to say though F1 2020 truly allows me to fully put the training wheels on and felt the effect the quality of my poor driving in a simulation style racer I found myself feeling like a pro with driver assists in full effect. This year I was able to place better but still managed to find myself literally destroyed without my noob modes enabled (often times spinning out), the AI much less overdone and more adaptable for beginning and more control for experts of the series. This time around I really didn't mind not getting 1st every time, because the game is simply stunning eye candy and creates an overall immersion like never before in the F1 genre and makes you feel the speed and intensity of being behind the wheel of an actual F1. As I said the AI is intense and you truly feel as if you're racing against real drivers in their attempts to keep you in check on the track. The online races I find more challenging than the AI races as I found myself battling some of the best of the best and quite experienced gamers in the F1 series games from the level of skill and competitiveness most apparent. The championship mode this is basically a challenges series with a theme involved. Once again the career mode has some excellent improvements. Some features may feel a little shallow but the amount of content is so fleshed our you won’t care. In the end F1 2020 is a great driving simulation experience, that will keep fans engrossed and newcomers on the edge of their seats from the intense immersive presentation while battling it out on the track. If you are a huge F1 series fan F1 2020 is a must buy as this is the best I think they could have accomplished on current generation limitations. As someone who has played all the Xbox One F1 releases, I can confidently say there’s another leap this year and if you're like me and more of an arcade racer fan you'll probably want to utilize the driver assists to feel like a pro, and be blown away by the presentation just as I was. In fact the game is so immersive, I am finding myself restarting my races whenever I need to so I can stand at the podium. Codemasters has more than made i's mark in this long running series on the Xbox One with this years installment. This is their best offering to date so if your a fan picking F1 2020 for your Xbox is an easy decision. I’m so excited to see what they can bring to us with a more powerful console generation only a couple months away as F1 2021 graces our presence next year.… Expand

    Drives much better than the last game. As a wheel user, there's more feedback from the road to the tyres and it's easier to control the cars overall. Yet it is also sophisticated enough for seasoned racers.

    F1 2020 is the best game yet with improved handling and physics. The new my team feature is worthy addition that lets you run your own team. On the downside the animations and structure of the game is largely the same as previous entries and i feel the presentation is going stale. The facial animations are still awful. Overall worth buying.

It's a whole lot of fun. Also, if you're game, you can be a Formula 2 driver and try to win the F2 championship. Not as easy as you would think. It runs very smoothly on PC and has more options than you can poke a stick at. The Best version yet by quite a way!… Expand

Depuis 2015, rien de nouveau sous le soleil donc à part d’infimes détails mais comme pour me faire mentir, ce 2020 apporte -enfin- un peu de nouveauté, à savoir le mode du directeur d’écurie !

    On est toujours aussi pilote bien sûr mais cette partie ‘gestion’ apporte un regain d’intérêt au cirque éternel de la Formule 1. Ce n’est pas vraiment très approfondi, encore moins exhaustif mais c’est bien présenté et ça fait le boulot, ma foi. On note par ailleurs une option bienvenue dans les deux carrières (directeur/pilote ou simplement pilote) qui permet de raccourcir les saisons à 10 courses… au lieu de 22 !

    Tout cela se fait néanmoins au prix de temps de chargement beaucoup plus longs… mais bon ! on note également que les incohérences du comportement routier ont disparu et que le jeu tient vraiment compte des réglages et des modifications que l’on peut y apporter (il était temps). C’est graphiquement toujours aussi joli (à 60 im/s bien sûr) et j’ai l’impression que la partie sonore a été enrichie.

    Néanmoins, le pilotage reste globalement toujours aussi imprécis, même en bidouillant les options de la manette et l’intelligence artificielle est toujours aussi… artificielle, voire inexistante (elle vous rentre dedans ou fait souvent comme si vous n’étiez pas là…!). On remarque aussi et on s’étonne -par rapport à F1 2019- que l’IA aille sensiblement plus vite sur un paquet de circuits…

    Parallèlement, un mode de pilotage ‘décontracté’ a été ajouté mais il implique le freinage automatique obligatoire : c’est n’importe quoi…! en mode ‘normal’ qui se veut sans doute plus réaliste, (et avec quelques aides désactivées) on déplore un louvoiement quasi permanent de la bagnole, ce qui ajouté à la vitesse des concurrents conduit à un certain énervement, ma foi.

    En progrès sur certains points, en retrait sur d’autres et en stagnation sur le reste, ce F1 2020 est globalement toujours aussi moyen, à l’image de ses prédecesseurs en somme ! il serait peut-être quand même temps de faire une pause et d’en sortir tous les 2… ou 3 ans seulement, histoire de se montrer plus rigoureux dans le développement et de remettre un peu à plat tout ça.    … Expand

    In career/team mode, R&D feels limited. Spending fictitious points to incrementally improve the car is far less appealing than, say, managing a real budget and implementing higher level strategy. I'm imagining things like engine partnerships, outsourcing certain parts manufacturing, and other things teams deal with in the real world. This would be much more interesting than spending 700 "points" to develop wing tips.

    As a first time F1 series gamer, I also found the learning curve somewhat steep and could use more interactive tutorials. Real Racing 3 nails this. I find myself googling or youtubing lots of things because the game offers virtually zero instruction. It feels as though this game was really made for people who've been playing F1 for years.    … Expand

    It still has problems like the previous generation. The league mode is buggy, if the host leaves the race falls, cheaters in multiplayer, events and trialtime, I have already sent emails to codemasters and he doesn't care.

    It’s a 10/10 racer easily but there could be improvements to to make the career more exiting and maybe make the damage on the cars more realistic but just racing with your friends is great.

    F1 2020 has taken key fundamentals from previous iterations and built upon a strong foundation to include a stellar, engaging and fantastic My Team career mode. The authenticity of the product has also continued to live up to the high standards set by the predecessors and the inclusion of split screen multiplayer as well as the options for more casual modes of play has made F1 2020 not only incredibly accessible for newcomers but also new and varied for veterans of the franchise. This is easily the best F1 game to date and contender for one of the best simulation racers of the generation.

    Codemasters put Michael Schumacher's name to this game and delivered a racing experience worthy of the greatest F1 driver in the sport's history. An incredibly deep and extensive game, F1 2020 has very negatives which is why Codemasters has released what could arguably be called "The Defining F1 Experience" ever to be found on Xbox One. If you are a fan of racing games, pick this up and you can thank me later. Are you in the market for an F1 racing experience that is quite literally second to none? I give you F1 2020 by Codemasters which I'm calling "A Thank You to Michael Schumacher".

    When it comes to simulating a professional sport for both newcomers and veterans, F1 2020 is a masterpiece. It won’t let you get disappointed if you’re looking for highly stressful and exciting racing experience, though it’s not a perfect game in the case of visuals.
