Well, since I'm off until the 19th, I guess I might actually make it through the rest of my first season quite quickly. Going to move on to full-length races after this season, having dropped down to 40% after Bahrain. Fortunately, my controller-holding position does not stretch my shoulder/neck, so I can play for hours with no pain

It's a pity you can't save mid game on 100% races.

Is this game available on xBox? I have played it last year on the Wii but graphics are always better on xBox

Picked up at the xbox 360 racing wheel. Now I'm racing with no assists. Pretty tough but very cool.

@hotrod76 yes mate, it's on ps3, xbox360 and pc.

Studio Liverpool should have made this game. Codemasters is not up to scratch this is a step back not an improvement from F1CE

Just remember that by the time they made F1CE, they had already produced 10/11 other F1 games (both as Studio Liverpool and as Psygnosis). Comparing Codemasters' second effort (and first 'real' one) to F1CE isn't necessarily as fair as it might seem, especially when you consider just how bad some of Studio Liverpool's efforts were.

All im comparing is the HD versions on the PS3 and im not the only one who thinks this. I assume due to the fact its a multi platform game the graphics and physics arent any better or even on par with F1CE.

F1 2010 is much more photo realistic like GP4, which I prefer. However I'm playing it on the 360 so maybe it looks bad on the PS3.

Real life comparisons show how photo realistic this game is. Very entertaining.

Is it just me or is the Lotus dreadful around Catalunya?

Ya it's not great. I've actually restarted my career with Virgin. Seems like a better car, easier to drive.

With my AI turned down and only ABS and auto gearbox as an assist I won the WDC in my rookie year with Lotus. Methinks that I need to turn the AI up a little more. Loving the game in any case.

Problem I had was that the car was way too twitchy over the curbs. I just couldn't find a setting that would let me be fast and still attack them.

In any case, after locking in the WDC after Suzuka, I got a contract offer from Red Bull to be their #2 driver. I took it, but now think I should have taken Torro Rosso's contract offer which was the same amount of money as their #1 driver. Because my objectives now are 3rd or higher in Quali and 2nd or higher in the race. I am so gonna get fired.

Go buy a good steering wheel and pedals. Then turn all assists off (I still use corner racing line though) and put the ai on expert mode.

If you're lucky you might make get an offer from Toro Rosso or a number one driver spot in your current team. It is really difficult this way but more fun imo.

I noticed they didnt get all the small details like steering wheels on each team correct. Seems they have a generic steering wheel for all teams. Teams like Redbull and Torro Rosso, use a dash so no telemetry data on the steering wheel.


small things like that they miss yet a game 4 years older got right.

I a picky arent I

I just got the game last night and started my career with Lotus. It was dreadful around Catalunya - my favourite track to drive on. I was terrible to say the least, although I don't think the car helped either.

I since turned back on the assists, but maybe I should restart my career with HRT or Virgin?

One other thing I desperately had to do was change the controls to be the standard X to accelerate and Square to Break. But my controls need to be tweaked further because I can't look around inside my cockpit.

BTW - I'm still dreadful on the new Bahrain track.

Very picky!

I dont think it is picky at all. The cars should be modeled on their actual counterparts, not just a generic. It is a small thing but in a 'A' class title you should expect this sort of thing to be done properly.
