Through sheer iteration, F1 is better than it's ever been in video game form - a shame then that the much vaunted and marketed story mode is complete and utter tosh.

I don't fault the game for having a set story it wants to tell, but it constantly allows you to break the believability of what you're being told by what it lets you do on track. It would also help if the story itself was interesting or believable in any capacity - if you have anything more than a surface level understanding of the sport it just seems ridiculous at points.

But it's still one of the best racing games out there and great fun in the usual career or multiplayer modes, and one that's surprisingly easy for newcomers to get into despite how complicated the sport can be.
