Name: Formula 1 (F1) 2010.

Developer: Codemasters Software Company Ltd.

Year: 2010.
Genre: Racing
Engine: EGO

Description: F1 2010 features "the most complicated weather system ever seen in a racing game" which is integral to F1. When rain starts to fall, the track will gradually lose grip, with some areas losing grip faster than others. "Overhanging trees, for example, will shelter the track, while dips and indentations in the tarmac will hold more standing water and provide a greater risk."

Verdict: The last time I played a formula one game was with F1 2000, when EA still had the rights. It didn't disappoint then, and I wasn't expecting to disappoint now, and it didn't. I was dazed hours upon hours feeling it was the actual thing, okay except for the interviews but the racing part was point on. You really feel the rush as you try to beat the other racers' time trials for a good podium, a countless times I found myself almost screaming out "move out of the way Hamilton/Schumacher, I'm the new champion." or perhaps I did, but when time flies by and you’re having fun, who cares.
Oh and I still have love for the Monte Carlo track, for me there is something about that tunnel that makes me want to push the accelerator key to the point of no return. And as for graphics, they were tops it’s only the loading time that I was complaining about, but this is a good one.

Playability: C for playability, its a simulation what did you expect.
Graphics: B for graphics,
Environment: B for its environment,
ShockAndAwe: +A for ShockAndAwe.
Plot: Not much to say as there is none, just race and win but I'll give it a A..
Overall: B***, Awesome title.
