F1 2011 by Codemasters review
Race into the 2011 season with this superb revamp
Review date: 05 October, 2011. Review by: Martyn Clayden
No prizes for guessing who's going to be crowned Formula One champion this year - but if you fancy the idea of rewriting the Grand Prix leaderboard yourself, you can do it on Windows PC, Xbox 360 or Sony PlayStation 3 with Codemasters' latest take on the world's most famous race circuits.
Last year was the first time that Codemasters took on the mantle of Formula One gaming and they revealed with F1 2010 that they could bring the same amount of reverence and loving detail as they did to the more frenetic DiRT 3 and GRID. This year they've decided to try and repeat their success with F1 2011 but those looking for a radical overhaul will discover more of an update than a total upgrade.
New circuits, improved multiplayer
This time round there are 19 circuits to whizz round, including the new Buddh International Circuit in India and Nürburgring in Germany, and as well as the expected Career and Grand Prix modes, there's a greater emphasis on multiplayer racing. So you can now enjoy two-player split-screen competing for the first time and online racing has been extended to a full 24-grid contest (eight of which are AI drivers). There's also an additional Co-op mode for you and a pal to compete in a season-long Championship as team mates.
