F1 2011 review

Hi everybody, sorry for the mega lateness of this review.

Although I haven’t played the game much myself, I have seen enough of it to make a review of it.
So let us start with the graphics of the game. They are very, very nice! From the way adverts around the side of the tracks reflecting off the side of your car to the rain effects, they are unbelievable realistic. Definitely a step up from the last games, which were also pretty amazing. The effects on the tyres are really good, from the brand logo in whatever colour they are (depending on what type of tyre you are using.), to the effects of driving in grass or over gravel.
The game has an amazingly dynamic and realistic weather system. It is created using real data from the country the circuit is in and depending on the time of year. That gives the game a strong feeling of reality when twined with the graphics.
The gameplay itself is as you would expect from an F1 game. Immense. It’s so different from any other racing game that if you go from a standard racing game to this, then you’ll find yourself nearly shitting yourself at the speeds you get to (especially when using the DRS on the straights) and braking to early. But it’s pretty easy to get used to. There’s one thing that has gotten to me though, the damage system. I do think it’s good, don’t get me wrong, but when you do crash, there’s still no major damage done to the main bulk of the car, it’s still just the wing and wheels that will come of and take damage, but it’s still very realist (I guess something has to be left for the next game) and thank god the safety car is in this game. That adds another dimension to the game.
The multiplayer is just another racing multiplayer… The other players will play dirty and take you out any opportunity they get. Not much has changed in that respect.
I give this game 7/10. It is graphically amazing, but not much has really changed from the last game. But given the choice, I’d play this game over last years, just because of the graphics.

Thanks for reading y’all!!!
