RECOMMENDED: F1 2011
IN TERMS of sheer thrills, F1is probably the perfect sport to adapt into a video game. Forget the tactical flair of FIFA and button-bashing Olympic games – F1is all about driving at 200mph, overtaking by an inch and winning. Since Codemasters obtained the F1 licence it has seen success with F1 2009on Wii and PSP and F1 2010on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The latter went on to sell over 2.3m copies worldwide, helping it pick up the Sales Triumph MCV Industry Excellence Award this year. Proof there is a strong market for F1 games. Now F1 2011is revving its way to retail complete with a revised selection of multiplayer modes, new circuits, rule changes, driving features and an expanded Paddock and post-race area.

The challenge is how you make the game more fulfilling. I think we’ve succeeded. Jeremy Wigmore, Codemasters
The game has also received
Codies’ biggest ever marketing campaign (see below right).
AND IT’S GO, GO, GO! As a first for the series, F1 2011 gets a split-screen mode as well as Championships that can be played co-operatively online. 16 players can now compete online at once with as many as eight AI drivers. Two new tracks make it into the game – the Buddh International Circuit in India and the legendary Nürburgring in Germany. A revised media system puts players in front of the cameras between races. KERS, DRS and other tactical driving features have been introduced, with the former giving players an extra speed boost and the latter reducing drag. Of course, all the real teams, drivers and cars are here. Even the safety car debuts. F1 2011also looks better than
ever. Powered by Codies’ EGO engine, tracks have been given a visual makeover. Fast, stylish and realistic, F1 2011 is on course to be one of the biggest racing games out this year.
