You need to cast your mind back to the days when Geoff Crammond was still making his acclaimed Formula 1 titles to find an F1 game that as convincingly captured the sport as Codemasters' latest does. For while it has a few problems, here's a game that...
Codemasters succeeds where many before it have failed, and brings Formula 1 back to videogaming in some style. A triumph, and one for racing fans everywhere, many of whom will have despaired of ever seeing their favourite sport properly recreated in th...

What is it with the cockpit view? People are obsessed. At regular intervals throughout our time spent playing F1 2010, co-workers would pop into the room to take a look, and absolutely all of them asked the same question first, “What’s the cockpit view...
On-track, this is the best F1 simulation ever seen in a game, there’s no question of that. But the career mode, while dotted with fan-serving details, feels incomplete and could struggle to keep all but the hardcore F1 follower motivated. 8.6/10Print...

For years F1 fans have had to put up with an interesting quality of racing game. In the early days, Psygnosis showed how good an F1 game could be before EA took the licence for a few years and finally Sony took an exclusive deal during the late PS2 d...

Most of us will never know what it feels like to sit in the cockpit of a Formula 1 car, screaming across the start/finish line towards the first corner at 300 kmph, knowing that even the minutest of miscalculations will have you helplessly careening to...
As authentic as it gets, Layers of assists to ease in new players, Realistically hard with assists turned off, Visually stunning (especially the rain effects)...
Off-the-track activities are half-heatedly implemented...
You’ll have to start with one of the lower rung teams, and work your way up from there. Unless you turn up the assists and lower the difficulty, you won’t be securing too many podium finishes at the start of your career, and you’re not expected to eith...

To be very clear, The Stig I am not, I'm much closer to Richard Hammond. There is an episode of Top Gear which features Richard Hammond learning how to drive an F1 car, not the easiest of tasks. The speed at which they travel, the sharp corners which...

F1 2010 is a fun and faithful re-creation of the most challenging series in motorsports, and while it has some minor issues, it's a good start for Codemasters' new franchise. The racing is appropriately challenging, the sense of speed is impressive, an...
Faithful recreation of the sport, Tracks and cars look excellent, Long career modes will keep you coming back, Highly customizable multiplayer.
Poor onscreen HUD, Lacks splitscreen multiplayer.
F1 2010 is a good first attempt at bringing the wonder of Formula One to current-generation consoles...

There really couldn't be a better time for Codemasters to release what is undeniably the best Formula 1 videogame since 2002. As the F1 season heads to Singapore next weekend and the final five races of the season, no less than five drivers are still i...
There are only a couple of issues that hold back F1 2010 from a perfect score and they're not major gripes at that. The F1 license is finally back in the hands of a publisher that's willing and able to create a realistic depiction of the sport and this...
