The echo of real life here made me laugh just a little given the torrid time McLaren are currently having with the seeming ineptitude of engine supplier Honda. Sometimes, like in life, things fail and my first few upgrades did so meaning I had to spend more points to develop the car. One of the more noticeable changes is that there’s a more familiar tech-tree style approach to spending these points and not every upgrade will work. At each race, you have the opportunity to complete tasks set by the team for development points which can then be spent on improving your car. Thankfully if you do decide to start at one of the weaker teams all is not lost. It’s not easy and, if you decide to start at McLaren like I did, requires a lot of patience. For those of you who are new to the series, it’s here where you get to create your own driver (male or female) and drop them into any of F1s current teams and race for glory. The career mode is where the meat of F1 2017 exists. It’s a fun way to include them but they’re even more fun if you just take them out on track and thrash them to within an inch of their life in the time-trial mode. What’s more, they’re not just tacked on as an added bonus but neatly woven into the career mode as one-off races and challenges. If you’re a massive F1 fan like I am, to have the virtual opportunity to take iconic cars of the last thirty years such as dominant 1988 McLaren MP4/4, the 1995 Ferrari 412 T2 (the last of the V12s) or Vettel’s 2010 Red Bull RB6 among others, is probably the closest one will ever get to these glorious machines. Building upon last year’s entry Codemasters have taken things to another level thanks, in part, to the inclusion of historic F1 cars. They may be right on some level but thankfully modern F1 games are going from strength to strength and this year is no exception. Some will say modern F1 has lost much of the romance of yesteryear and that the modern cars, whilst looking more aggressive this season, are boring. It was a tense finish and a memory still so vivid I can almost hear Murray Walker’s commentary. However, despite the disparity, Senna held him off thanks, in part, to the tight street setting of Monaco but also due to his excellent race craft. Coming out on fresh tyres Mansell set a lap record which was two seconds quicker than Senna and with three laps to go was right behind the Brazilian. A charging Nigel Mansell, in the iconic Williams FW14B, chased down Ayrton Senna who inherited the lead after a loose wheel nut forced Mansell to pit. Good thing with this game is the amount of flexibility you have while changing your difficulty settings, you can transform it into an arcade racing game (for those without any experience in driving), or into and F1 simulation, according to which level of experience you have in F1 game or any other racing game.Īll in all, from all those racing games available, this is the one which is a MUST PLAY game because it gives you so much new things to try, new game modes, new cars and new tracks, when playing, I haven't found any issues nor bugs, so yes from my perspective, this game is perfect.One of my first memories of watching Formula 1 (F1) was the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix. They also added the career with full F2 season and many old F1 cars from the Ayrton Senna Mclaren till the RedBull and other F1 cars from 2010. I also love the fact that you can buy liveries and many other things from the item shop, but even if you don't want to spend in-game currency for those things, there are still many customisation options.Īfter so many years, 10 to be precise, they have implemented the split screen, so yes, from the F1 2011 (that was the last game which had split screen mode) there were no split screen mode available. just so many thing to do, and one thing to clear, My Team mode is like an F1 manager with the old-known F1 career, so yes, you are the driver and the manager of your team. I played some F1 managers games and from my perspective, there are almost perfect, you have so many option, from upgrading you car, to dealing with driver and sponsor contracts. This is no ordinary F1 game, noo, this time Codemaster implemented something new and innovative, the My Team mode, which is probably the only thing you would wanna play on this F1 title.
