So in around 2008, Codemasters acquired the license for the F1 games which was great news for Xbox owners. Sony had previously had the license and because of this, I'm pretty sure they weren't getting Xbox releases. Codemasters released 5 F1 games on the 360, 6 if you include F1 race stars and it's a great set of games. F1 2010 is one of my favourites. Of course as the earliest release, it's missing some of the features of later games and it's hard to rate it higher than F1 2011. However, it's really impressive for the first release and they managed to get all of the game modes and details you would expect into the game. It features an excellent career mode, licensed tracks and drivers and great simulation racing.

The reason I would say that I enjoy this more than 2011 is that it's a little bit harder. All of the games have different settings such as ABS and damage control so you can customise the game to your ability but each game does handle differently. The cars in 2010 are a bit more difficult to control and it's very easy to spin out, which to me felt like a bit more of a challenge and a more realistic racer. Other than that, there isn't much to differentiate this game with the 2011 release. It's an excellent simulation racer for F1 fans or racing game fans alike.
