I'm not a long time racing game player, and this review is very much about a beginners experience with the story mode. It's more likely I'll review Project Cars for a proper racing sim experience.
It works! Honestly, it teaches you how to play the game while also being entertaining. There was a mission early on in the story where it just tasks you with overtaking 2 or 3 cars and it's freaking daunting. Weirdly, one you overcome that and learn how to do it (because it won't progress the story if you don't) the rest of the story mode becomes a bunch of pretty easy victories. I did enjoy the story too. Devon Butler is a detestable dude, but that's a good thing in a rival. If this game hadn't been delisted, I think it'd be the perfect starting point for the current influx of new F1 fans to jump onto.
