F1 2012 by Codemasters review by Inside Sim Racing (PC, Xbox 360, PS3)

[speedfreakfrank]

you guys are by far the best reviewers i have seen

[thefirethefire]

Just played the demo today, I think I´ll buy the game. Just for doing the 5 lap race, and repeating it until I was good at it I felt rewarded in a way I was never in other racing game. So cool.

you guys are so fortunate to have those controller setups, an xbox controller is driving me crazy i cant pitch the steering wheel all that well with the joy stick

For a die hard F1 fan like me this game is pretty good. I know it is not 100% hard core sim, but as you put it, it helps you experience a true F1 weekend or season. I know most of the tracks pretty well and I tell you that the breaking points and overall physics are pretty good. Also yes, there are some teams without KERS which is why this is reflected in the game. Some sim racers should do a track day to really understand how it feels, speed, g-forces, etc. Just as a recommendation...

[conorhyslop]

it took me 11 races and 10 of those were first places in order to get a new contract on the easy mode

[TheGhilliSniper]

yes people mod it all the time, damage mods, more aggressive ai, and so on. As for trackir, it is compatible

Great review, I'm glad you guys take the time to examine all the platforms on which this game is released. I have played this game a lot since it came out and I have to say that you guys really said everything I thought about this game. So I know in the feature I can trust on the reviews you post. Again many thanks for this awesome and deep review! :)

Don't worry. Historic content is coming this year.

[UnlimitedUps]

Great review, guys. Always appreciate all the time an effort you put into these sim reviews.

[ThViperOrton]

I've never played an F1 game before, but I'm a huge Forza fan. Do you guys recommend this game?

[MattDiffey]

There are two things that I really want to see from F1 2013 are being able to drive the formation lap and being able to drive in the pits, it's just an immersion breaker not being able to. I'd like to be able to have all of their seasons from 2010 to 2013 to allow the cars to change and tracks to change along with your career, but I get that licenses are a change.

It was a 8h special offer. Got it too then this game is awesome.

Great vid. Darin, thanks 4 the heads-up about the G25. I got F1 2012 2 weeks ago and have a G25 on it's way. U saved me some stress, fo sho. Darin, you nailed it. This game has prompted me to buy an rSeat GTR, a G27 and a bigger screen. I feel sure I'll also get a butt-kicker. Hell, I may even get some of those booties like Shawn's. Y'all do an extraordinary job. I have decided you 2 are the go to guys for my education in this arena. Thanks again for a GREAT video.

They're Tilton Pedal Pads made by DerekSpeareDesigns, a popular guy in the sim community for buttons boxes, wheel plates, shifters, and other little sim accessories. His button boxes in particular are WIDELY accepted as wonderful items. I love mine.

[ELITERazarar]

Great review, just finished my first career race on Legend, what a race, 100% races no assists the real deal or as close as I can make it.

An awesome game!

[minecraftchornicles]

I love all the equipment you guys have. I think that working with you all would be my dream job.

[HwangmPSN]

Best F1 game so far, and they keep improving weekly with the patch. good review :)

[ECab]

Great review guys! Quick question? Can you make a video or did you make one on your sim rig build? What is the actual cost of the build?

[nyranstanton]

you have to remember just like real life theres only about 3 to 4 companys that can win races and generally only 2-3 that can do it consistently. That's the way it is. But then most racing genres are like that to. Like the Citreon in WRC, it destroys the competition until the others catch up. All racing disciplines suffer from this.

[gurujpf]

It's awesome that you guys had a lot of time with the game, there are a lot of people and videos here in youtube pointing out several bugs, weather, set ups, and the screen flipping upside/down after a replay, Shaun, Darin with all the time with the game have you experienced any of these bugs?
