Manufacturer's Description
For the first time in almost a decade a new Formula 1 game is appearing on all the home consoles and PC, as Codemasters gets ready to make their mark on the sport. Using the same graphics technology as Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID, this is set to be the best F1 game ever.
Founded in 2002 as Swordfish Studios this UK developer has been responsible for everything from Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 to 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. The company was acquired by Vivendi in 2005 and sold to Codemasters in 2008. It's now working on the new F1 series of games.
F1 2010 is the first multi-format, high definition Formula One videogame from Codemasters. Complete with all the official drivers, teams and circuits from the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship, F1 2010 will immerse players in the glamour and exhilaration of the world’s most exciting motorsport, on and off the circuit.
F1 2010 will deliver an unrivalled Formula One experience that put players into the heart of the world’s most exciting sport, powered by cutting edge graphics, advanced physics systems and integrated network play.

• Every circuit, beautifully realised. Race wheel to wheel on all 19 of the 2010 tracks, each modelled with exceptional attention to detail and jaw-dropping visuals.
• Be the driver, live the life. There is more to being a Formula One driver than being the fastest person on track and F1 2010 is the first game to allow players to experience the exclusive world of F1 like never before.
• Fully dynamic weather affects your strategy, performance and delivers stunning visual effects. F1 2010 features the most advanced weather system in any racing game.

 Formula 1 returns to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC |
 The stunning graphics use Codemasters' Ego engine from Colin McRae: DiRT 2 |
 All the official F1 tracks are replicated in exacting detail |
 These screens show the 2009 cars but the final game will be based on the 2010 season |
With everything from the affect of rain on the track to media interest in your performance simulated, everything that happens in a real Formula 1 season happens in this game. But don't worry if you're not an expert racer as the game has a specially designed range of driving aids and arcade options to ensure every kind of gamer can join in the fun.
However you play the game though, whether it's in a seven season career marathon or a quick run around the Monaco circuit, this puts Forumla 1 back at the pinnacle of video game racing.
Key Features- F1 for All: No longer a PlayStation exclusive, Formula 1 returns for all formats as Codemasters unleash their most feature-packed race sim ever.
- Play the Field: Play a full career mode of 3, 5 or 7 seasons, with specific goals for each of the different teams - from Ferrari to Lotus.
- Gripping Weather: The most realistic weather system ever seen in a racing game, with rain falling and drying realistically and drastically affecting the performance of the cars.
- Simulation Racing: Every aspect of Formula 1 is replicated in exacting detail, but less experienced racers can still choose to play in a less serious arcade style mode.
- Research & Development: You're not the only one working through the season, as your team constantly comes up with new car upgrades that improve your car from race to race.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Formula 1 2010 (PC DVD) (DVD-ROM)
This is a game that I have been waiting for for along time.
Keeping an eye on it from the start, watching the development diaries and previews. I am a big driving game nut who enjoys a challenge and Ive really enjoyed racing sims, Rfactor, GT Legends and GTR Evo on the PC along with your usual console racers. I bought the PC version of F1 2010 due to having a decent graphics card and setup with a Logitech FX wheel and pedals You really do need a wheel for any driving sim its adds so much more immersion. The other advantage with buying the PC version is that the graphics can be tweaked as much as you want and that the likely hood of mods being made available for it as time goes by polishing the look of the game even more. The only downside is that the game, as other comments and reviews have made, feels unfinished and a patch would make a huge difference. The list of bugs and issues are listed in nearly every review so I wont list them. The first time I played the game I found it really frustrating and difficult and didn't really enjoy it. After having a look on various forums and sites I discovered that its worth while tweaking the controls for the wheel and the difficulty settings to suit. I liked the settings set at hard so the fantastic AI would be a challenge but the car would handle as I wanted. After I had done this and a couple of laps into the game the game started to open up and became more enjoyable as I had a better feel for the car and the tracks. Once you have conquered the the corners that spin you out and get back onto the racing line you do get a sense of achievement and want to do more and more laps taking on the next car in front. You will be disappointed at first but when you get everything setup correctly and to how you want the game to feel it really will make you want to take on more laps and not retire the game to the pits. ______________________________________________________________ UPDATE - I have been playing this game now for the past week and I cant put it down, especially after I have configured my wheel for a more immersing, sim like game. The setup is as follows: Steering Deadzone - 0% Steering Saturation - 75% Steering Linerarity - 70% Throttle Deadzone - 0% Throttle Saturation - 100% Brake Deadzone - 0% Brake Saturation - 100% ----- Forcefeedback settings - set all at 100% ENJOY!

This review is from: Formula 1 2010 (PC DVD) (DVD-ROM)
My system spec.
AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core 2.3 ghz ATi Radeon HD4870 1GB 3GB DDR2 Ram 23" Samsung Syncmaster 2333HD Monitor Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Wheel With my system spec I am able to run the game with 1920x1080 resolution, 4x MSAA and all other display settings on high. With these settings I haven't experienced any noticeable frame-rate drops or lagging at all. My experiences so far have been primarily within the career mode (expert difficulty, 50% races). Having played rFactor and F1 Challenge 99-02 in the past, F1 2010 was always a must-buy and it is easily the best racing game I have ever played. These are just some of the positive aspects of the game, and it certainly isn't an exhaustive list. - The graphics are fantastic at the above resolution and the visual experience enhanced during wet races in particular. - The handling is challenging enough to be rewarding when you post a fast time or string a series of laps together during a race. - On expert difficulty the AI is genuinely difficult to beat, to the extent where finishing 18th in a Lotus can sometimes feel like a victory. - The small details, such as the ability to adjust wing angles and engine settings during the race makes the game seem that bit more realistic. - The career mode, whilst not perfect, seems to give the game longevity offline. The possibility to rise through the ranks from a team such as Lotus to one capable of challenging for and winning world championships is exciting, particularly when any respectable result in a lower team seems like such an achievement early on. - The game is more immersive than any other racing game I've played. The changing weather conditions, strategy calls, tricky AI and generally realistic race results all adds to the enjoyment of the game. There are some areas that could be improved - Lack of safety car - Penalty system sometimes over picky - Questionable AI in wet weather. I was able to qualify 10th in the wet in a Lotus at China. - Frequency of punctures (although I am experiencing these less often as I become smoother and less prone to off-track excursions!) - Lack of podium celebration - Replay system not brilliant Appreciating that this is the first current gen F1 game (after F1 2009 on the Wii) codemasters has developed, the positive aspects of the game far outweigh any negatives and after 3 or 4 days of playing, I haven't experienced anything other than enjoyment. I would recommend it to anyone with any interest in Formula One, and if my experience so far is anything to go by, you really won't be disappointed.

Great simulation if your a F1 fan! A bit long winded during load ups to various scenarios but is atmospheric and enjoyable. Good driving simulation and supports most wheels - although if it is 'direct x' you can usually get it to work. Best with wide screen monitor. New patch/update has greatly improved the various niggles in the game. No doubt this game will become the benchmark for F1 simulation - buy it! 2115|R3N41IGK9MKG05;2115|R2I5MDAZTGSBP6;2115|R3N0BYS3ZZJB9O;
