Rally, Touring cars, super bikes, trucks….. There's a racing game for practically every racing discipline on the 360 and unfortunately a lot of them suck. Hats off to codemasters then for producing some really good F1 sims on the console. F1 2011 is the second in the series and is basically everything you would expect from an F1 sim. Licensed drivers and teams. A full championship mode featuring full race weekends. your basic exhibitions and online modes. Time trial racing. A nice selection of licensed F1 tracks from this years championship. The game looks great also. Driving around famous locations such as Monza or Spa are made better by the details in all the race tracks. Trees swaying the in background, the detailed buildings of street races like monaco, it's all here and gives you a more authentic experience. The game also handles well and has enough options in terms of assists to help you progress as a driver. I do have to say I found this version quite easy in comparrison to some of the other codemasters F1 games, and while the computer AI can be changed, it was a little bit difficult to find that sweet spot. Aside from this nitpicking, its a really great F1 racer and you can have a lot of fun with this one. The thing is, there are 5 F1 games on the console, all of which are fairly cheap and while 2011 is great, it's not the best in the series in my opnion. Because of this, it's kind of difficult to recommend this one, as do you really need more than one F1 game?
