    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

    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

    F1 2009 reaches the finish, but it's still very far from being a winner. Not a simulator, not an arcade, but yes a reasonable option for gamers looking for F1's speed.

    The core mechanics are solid, but the challenges of putting out a licensed product - and starting with a company as fussy as the FIA probably wasn't a good idea - have clearly got the better of them. Though I imagine if you're a devout F1 nut you can add 10% to the score.
