I'm currently running in pro mode with the AI on 'legend'
For some reason it seems a bit more realistic.

I've gone from struggling to qualify 24th every race, to having a more realistic quali of between 18 and 22 depending on track, which is more true to life for the Virgin car.
Also the AI car don't seem to do as many odd manouvers and defend their position a bit more realistcly.

But this game gets soooo much better the more you play it. It's still bloody hard with the TC turned off, and I need to get a steering wheel and pedals soon.

Don't do it yet! Wait to see what they do about patching the game and to what extent they change things. I'm about 5 races into my first season of the career mode and I'm about ready to give up, as it stands the AI's behavior ruins the game.

My team mate must have picked up a mushroom in the race I've just finished - exited the corner onto the pit straight side-by-side at the same speed, we hold station until the start/finish line where he hits the nitrous and pulls 10 car lengths on me by the first corner

Then there's stuff like this...


And this...


And this...

My 360 copy should arrive in the post today!

What's people views/opinions on the online play of the game... how many people can you get into a race?

12 in a race, choose the 'grand prix' game type instead of the 'quick race' and you are more likely to find fans of F1 instead of people like Vettel who seem to race in the 'quick race' game type to smash people off

12 in a race aint too bad a number... some online racing games in the past have been let down by the tiny amount of people in a race.

Is there any damage in the online races or is it just a case of bumper cars from lights to flag?

I think in general the damange model isn't great, I was expecting to see wheels and bits flying off everywhere, but it only seems to be wings...

the cars cenrtainly aren't as fragile as Lewis' McLaren

Ok, so my local Argos now has them in store for £34.79. I will be running it on my xbox using the standard controller.

After reading various conflicting reports, i am in 2 minds whether to buy it or not. What are your thoughts, is it worth the cash?

I must be thrashing the game a bit harder as Ive smashed into a wall that ripped the front wheel off and terminated my race. Was quite an impressive crash, mid impact the game went into slow motion and bits flew off everywhere.

I've also managed to flip Schumacher onto his roof

If you like F1, i think you'll love it!

There are a few glitches, and i know some people have experienced way more then others - I've only had a couple of small issues but nothing to worry about really....

There will be a patch in the next couple of weeks anyway so i'm sure it'll soon get sorted anyway.

It seems a lot of people are focusing on that right now, but when you step back and look at the first decent F1 game to ever come out on a Console (imo) it's bloody awesome.

Thanks for the response Nick, ive just sent the Mrs down town to pick me up a copy. I would do it myself but a combination of just having dental work (filling) and being lazy tells me to stay indoors and let her do it. LOL

Im also on a day off today so will be online shortly. Ill add you (Nick) and all the other username's on this thread. Hopefully we can get a team oOple assembled.

Qualified third and finished first in my opening race at Bahrain in career mode. It's very addictive already.

Who's online later on for some racing?
