GameSpot Reviews - F1 2011 (Xbox 360)

F1 heads out onto the track for another spin in this video review for F1 2011.

Wishlist for F1 2012:

1. Create your own character mode needs more customizable outfits(helmets, gloves. ect.)

2. Create your own racing team.(car looks, colors, fake sponsers)

3. Maybe more involved pit stops, or a pit crew mini game(just for fun) ?

4. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely

-Alex

I believe from 5:58 onwards, the cars are racing on Buddh International Circuit (Indian Grand Prix)! The first few corners are simply awesome! Just waiting for the game as well as the actual grand prix!

[TommyCruze]

God, I love the sound of those cars

[ISirSmoke]

@sebastianblevdet in 2006 they went over 20000rpm
this year the engines are limited to 18000

[MrMarlby]

@Manhunt48 : totally agree! The fact that the game is hardcore warrants a higher score for me not marking it down! It's quite clear from the vids they are using a gamepad to drive, you'd think they'd at least test a wheel too.

[khanumair]

it would be superb if this game has a video for World Champion..when a driver wins the championship then he celebrates hugely..so this game should have this

The only thing keeping me away from this is that I'm not an F1 fan and would eventually feel bored driving the same vehicle (In real life, well that is another matter!). However I was incredibly impressed with the amount of detail and immersion this game presents and I wish a game like Forza and Gran Turismo would incorporate these traits, with a variety of vehicles so you can have relaxed racing as well as edge of your seat racing like this in either touring cars, rally, classics, etc.

@VelvRevslash Can't agree with you more, I have heard that the safety car only deploys when you have the A.I difficulty on hard, is this true because I dont hope so

[TheGreatCasey]

@MaSrIe1980

The reason for this is so that you can play the '11 season more realistically, with the inclusion of DRS and KERS

[MickeyMoTiOnZ]

@oOIIalexIIOo no they said there was gonna be a full grid

[shintopig]

@USSWISCONSIN64 Well considering that the first F1 track in the U.S. is landing in Austin, TX in 2012, I'd say that we're gonna start getting real familiar with it.

@poet215 lol no gears 3 is out on the 20th..

f1 is out 23rd its on the end of all dev diarys ..

=]]

[brenowsBR]

f1 2010 earned a 7.5...
With so much improvements (better AI, DRS, safety car, kers, ...), f1 211 earned just 8.0??
What does it need to get at least a 8.5, 9.0 ?!?

[MickeyMoTiOnZ]

@oOIIalexIIOo you can watch the f1 2011 dev diaries

[Simplemindedgenius]

@thediabyfactor The general consensus is if you Had 2010 then it's a bit of an improvement over last years, But if you haven't owned one before then you can't go wrong. That's not my opinion btw, I've read many reviews now and that's the conclusion of most them.

[Partypaddo]

True that it's a miss that there are no tutorials for getting used to the handling of the cars, but I guess Timetrial is a good oppurtunity to get used to the cars.
It seems to be a game just for the real fans, and I think that's a good thing, because in the MP there are too many people who think this is a Burnout game.
I myself try to get into someone's slipstream, then drive next to that opponent, using KERS and DRS en than pass him and I hate it when they push me of the track on purpose

[kidxpacpac]

"will be sure to enjoy for a long time to come" so about a year then.

[modestux]

5 days till this game.. can't wait!

[TROCKMONEYK]

Never tried one of these. Is it any good. I'm assuming it is when everybody wants to give it a 9 to 9.5
