    The single-player is jam-packed with varied game modes. The simulation of Formula One racing is very accurate. As a bonus, playing with friends through ad-hoc support is a nice touch.

    After a few years without Formula 1 games Codemasters took over the official license and delivers a brand new part on the PSP and Nintendo Wii. At this time the Wii part is better, but the PSP one is really fun. The career mode is always fun to play and it contains all of the licenses. A nice game for the fans of the Formula 1.

    It's not perfect, but it's a solid effort and unlikely to disappoint.

    Finally the FIA has given the F1 licence to Codies. They have doon a pretty god job with F1 2009. While the graphics aren't brilliant, the gameplay is awesome. When it is set to "Hard", it becomes challenging to even get into Q2 with a slower car. The driving model is awesome and the handling is realistic.The Menus are simple and it is a doddle changing the settings of your car. This game is part of PSP essentials now so it is dead cheap too. Lets just hope Codies can really break the barrier (puns FTW!) in F1 2010.… Expand

    It's been a long time since the FIA has allowed someone to make a new F1 game, and for the most part it isn't really anything brilliant, but it's not a bad effort. I've not played the Wii version, but it looks really bad on the adverts. As for the PSP version, it has enough to keep you interested - A simple to use interface for adjusting your cars technical specs, An interesting way of implementing KERS as if it is some kind of turbo boost each lap, and a nicely implemented Career mode. One let down is that in congested areas or in areas where there are a lot of scenery and buildings, the frame rate almost kills you. Playing with full rules and damage on can seriously annoy you as it is really easy to make a mistake. Good effort, but in the words of my old school teachers "must try harder".… Expand
