While their ghosts are enabled by default, you can disable them if they get too distracting. As you’d expect from a game in 2016, the latter also comes with leaderboards, so you can try to beat other player’s times from across the world. The result? You can dip in for something longer, something shorter or just barrell around Monaco in Time Trial mode trying to set the perfect lap. There’s also a Multiplayer mode, along with Time Trials, Championship Season and Quick Race. What’s more, you can either start in pole position or choose to work your way up through the field and earn a drive with the big teams.
You have an agent, contracts to sign and targets to beat, and during practice sessions you’ll be asked to carry out setup work for race day. It’s the longest and most immersive yet, and after creating your driver it throws you into the F1 paddock. Take the game’s career mode, for instance. To make up for that limitation, F1 2016 fills its starting grid with a myriad of different modes to fill in the gaps. Where games such as Project Cars and Assetto Corsa can offer you a multitude of cars from different years and different manufacturers – including some retro F1 cars – F1 2016 is limited to using this year’s line up of 11 cars and 22 drivers. F1 2016 is the only game that has the license for this year’s Formula One championship – and in some ways that’s a gift and a curse. F1 2016 game review: ModesĬodemasters job isn’t been easy. It’s taken a while and several false starts to get here, but this time Codemasters has brought this glamorous sport to life, giving us the game we’ve all been waiting for. This is what it’s like to race Spa in F1 2016, the best Formula One game in ages.įor the last two years Codemasters has been a lot like McLaren-Honda, promising us a winner only to give us a backmarker on race day. As I flick up the gears, it seems my exit was good enough, and I snake up Eau Rouge fighting the downforce while trying to wrestle the car onto the ultimate racing line. Too much gas and I could lose the car entirely too little and I’ll hand several km/h to the opposition.
I straighten the car up and get on the throttle hard. I cover off the inside, get on the brakes hard and shed speed, shifting from 5th to 2nd.
I hold in the clutch, increase the revs and then, as the lights go out, I release the clutch and control my getaway. As I line up my Mercedes-AMG W07 next to my team mate’s, I know a good start will be crucial.
