Yeah, that's one thing I forgot to mention, when you first turn the game on if you don't change any settings the AI is automatically set to the very easiest (as opposed to being set to a default medium), so if you've played F1 games a lot before it'll be a walk in the park. If you increase the level of the AI the game isn't quite so easy...

Me, I go for gameplay over graphics.

Final Fantasy VI

I find graphics very important. or else why not stick with your commodore 64......

becuase of other avdances in memory processing and all that stuff, anyway I think we've moved on from that point.

If you diddn't like it, mind sending me the disc? (I suppose the wii has some pal region thing on it though)

This game is super easy. I cranked it up to Normal on day one and I was still 4 seconds clear of the Brawns in a BMW (Career mode).

Evidently I'm going to have to switch it up to hard. On the bright side, the driving is pretty good, although I sometimes feel that the driving and physics models haven't met eachother.

It's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!

yeah sure its on ebay!

i dont like the steering. its too gimmicky.and you could also use this function on the PS3 F1CE which in my opinion has this new game covered in all areas. If only you could update the teams and tracks on it like R Factor Also if the steering wheel was fixed it would be good so you can attack the track like a real car.

Maybe I like it because I'm the guy who says the Wii is the perfect platform for racing games. I've got the Wii Wheel racing down to an art.

Yes, I'm a geek.

hmm, I'm not sure if I like this game.

First things, the graphics, which, to be fair, aren't as bad as people make out, yes yes, they're not exactly good but if you can't see past that, that's why 2010 is happening (the generaly consensus for the haters seemed to be, why not play an N64 which is pretty much saying, ruddy hell, I can't get Angelina Jolie, I guess i'll settle for Susan Boyle...)
Which, is just dumb, the graphics are about the same level as F106, better track detail, worse car detail, but this is minor
The main thing I found wrong with f106 was the third part of qualifying being impossibly difficult (I can be top 5 on most tracks with a McLaren, Toyota or Honda, which is what i always end up in in Q1+2, but 3 i'm a second off the pace in 10th) thankfully that's fixed. the main thing about this game is the utterly bewildering behaviour of the AI, who don't know how to overtake, and would sooner ram you. I cranked it up to hard within about 5 mins, and I seem to either dominate (I was on pole by about a second in australia, and was never challanged in the race) but on other tracks i'm nowhere. The wheel is good, but I haven't yet given it too much time. The car control is very good, reminds me alot of all the F109 rfactor mods out there.

the thing though that really put me off, is the pit stops, is it me, or have you no control over them? is there an interactive option i've missed, on most races, it takes about 15 seconds for a pitstop to happen, while the computer takes less than 10, which for me deems the game unplayable.

[Big Azza]

But the best part about a pitstop is, they will put a brand new rear wing on in that 15 second window.

I got a drive through penalty and dislodged rear and front wings in the one mistake.

The Pitstops are weird and unrealistic. They're ridiculously long! It's comical watching your car sit their with these barely animated people in an otherwise deserted pitlane for 10-15 seconds in a standard scheduled stop.

Does the game still have that stupid penalty system (the black/white flag at the top of the screen)?? That annoyed the hell out of me on F106.

I knew some smartarse would say that but you got a penalty even if the computer rammed you!!
