    On the surface, the changes made to F1 2011 over its predecessor seem small, but once you start a career mode or get to grips with car setup, you'll find that the game really is the huge overhaul they claimed it would be.

    F1 2011 is a good game built on a solid foundation that is only improving with each annual installment. Still, Formula One racing is not every gamer's cup of tea. It's strangely addictive, but it doesn't have the pick-up-and-play nature of a Burnout game. Dirt and Grid are more down to earth than Burnout, but F1 makes them look a lot like OutRun.

    For hard-core auto racing gamers, especially those that are fans of Formula 1, Codemasters revs up an immersive, realistic racing simulation in F1 2011 with all the official drivers and tracks of the F1 circuit and a nice selection of gaming modes, including a engrossingly robust career mode.

    If you're looking for a quick, pick-up-and-play racing game, this is not for you. This game takes patience and attention to detail to play.

    This game is so similar to the last one it might as well be the last one. but that is not a bad thing. Last year they did everything right and this year they have just gone and make this one even better by updating the graphics, making everything better, the cars the drivers even the main menu, they all look amazing. The safety car is amazing, the KRS and DRS are so good the crashes the damage the pit stops, everything is just so good, the AI is so much more human, they make mistakes, everything is just so perfect. I don't this Codemaster could have made a better game. Expand
  2. F1 2011 is a racing game that makes you feel like a real formula one driver you only have to switch it on to know that it
  3. i think the game is really good but i wouldn't suggest turning on the safety car. Every time a safety car is deployed it will auto brake you every single time and your not allowed to pass people in a safety car but every one else will overtake you IT'S NOT FAIR! And if someone overtakes you in Melbourne they will speed ahead of you and you can't catch up with them because they're driving at literally driving at a billion miles per hour! I recommend you be careful with what track you pick! I'll give it a 6! Expand
  4. This game is boring and repetitive with minor little changes over f1 2010, multiplayer barely works and the game has many glitches this is a simple case of a game company releasing a game, then a year later releasing the same game a year later with not many improvements, This game is awful, jot worth the money, and I'm a massive racing fan I love Dirt 3, WRC 2011, TDU2, Forza 4, and the list goes on, but f1 2011 doesnt deserve a place on that list, not at all.
