Formula 1 2010 championship edition

So I switch on steering and braking assistance--or just play the simplified Arcade Mode--and the game becomes much more fun. The incredible sound effects and sense of speed only add to the realism. This is an incredibly in-depth racing simulation that offers just about everything an F-1 fan could hope for.

Real tracks, real teams, loads of options and some really cool modes of play available through codes. Like most Psygnosis games, the 3-D graphics are cutting-edge and serve the game very well. I do think that the gameplay, while good, could use more refinement to make it an even more entertaining game.

Overview Formula One is developed by Codemasters as the their first next-generation multiplatform Formula One release following their acquisition of the license which had previously been held by Sony.

Teams and Drivers Formula One includes the real life cars and drivers of the Formula One season, letting you drive any of the 12 teams cars as any of the 24 drivers of the season. Formula One features different career lengths that will affect the start of your career: If you choose to do a 3 season career you can choose to start with one of the top teams McLaren or Ferrari, for example If you choose to go for a medium long career 5 seasons , you will have to start with one of the smaller teams, though not the worst ones, and try to work your way up to the bigger teams via meeting team objectives If you choose to compete in the 7 seasons long career, you'll be assigned to one of the generally considered worst teams on the paddock, thus not being expected for you to win the championship anytime soon.
