F1 2015

But then there will always be the thrill in shaving off hundredths of a second from the best lap times, and F1 2015 is remarkably effective in subtly digging its claws into you and convincing you that yes, with just a touch more practice and precision you could take that difficult corner a little better. With so many different tracks, each with their own personalities, mastering F1 2015 will keep you going until the inevitable release of F1 2016.

Codemasters has the licence to one of the most, if not the most, coveted racing series in the world – F1. They have held that licence for several years and it is one that throws a big spotlight on their games. F1 fans are passionate and with such passion comes a heightened degree of expectations. Against these expectations, Codemasters have had to deliver a game on an annual basis that cannot just meet the most zealous fan’s desires for the ultimate F1 racing game but must be accessible to the less hardcore, general players. If one goes into these games with that in mind, it is a good temperin...

A solid first effort at Formula One on current consoles, F1 2015 is nevertheless hamstrung by a dearth of modes. The strength of the on-track action does bode well for subsequent F1 games, however, although F1 2015 feels like something of a stop-gap. That said, die-hard F1 fans will still love F1 2015 regardless.

F1 2015 doesn’t have many of the features and game modes that we’ve seen over the years, and this feels disappointing given delays during development, but it gives a solid basis for future growth. With lush visuals, tight car handling, good racing and a sprinkling of fresh ideas, this is exactly the fresh start that Codemasters needed.

F1 2015 is bareboned and inconsistent, but it’s F1 at its purest.

F1 2015 feels like a step backwards for the series, which is disappointing given the new EGO engine, and the current generation of hardware. The core experience, however, remains one of the most realistic racing simulators available.

After some unfortunate delays, Codemasters finally wheels out its debut F1 game for the current generation of consoles. Fans who have stayed with the series in its many iterations on the PlayStation 3 can now at last spin around Silverstone with the teams and drivers of the new season along with their new machines. What can you expect from this latest licensed outing?

As centuries of racing have taught us, no one remembers the guy who finishes toward the back of the pack. That will be F1 2015‘s legacy: a forgotten one.

We're not exactly seeing what the wait was for when it comes to F1 2015. The game is clearly rushed, riddled with bugs and lacking in some relatively basic features. You might spend enough time on track to watch that achievement for spending 10 hours in your car just reset itself and never pop (again, due to a bug) and have a fair amount of fun while you do so, but there's a more likely chance that you'll run into so many issues that you just don't bother turning up for the next race.
