F1 2016 is a very good racing game that after a minor stumble in the form of last year's entry returns to its previous form. There's a full-fledged career, improved collisions and a good driving model. In short, racing fans should enjoy the newest installment of F1.

Codemasters spent the time listening to feedback, and while this may be the only F1 game in town, F1 2016 is feature-rich and mechanically sound, like a turbocharged Formula One car.

F1 2016 Is the best F1 game in years possibly the best ever created. It's an essential purchase for fans of F1 or racing fans in general. It has the perfect difficulty curve for newcomers to get to grips with and is deep enough to keep the die-hard pro's happy. A few annoyances dampen what is otherwise an outstanding game but none of them detract from the intense thrill of F1racing.

Although the game can sometimes get a bit technical and the race weekends can be quite long (about an hour or so for a short weekend), we think F1 2016 is great fun. With so much content to jump straight into there is no way you could be disappointed with this game. The game gives you a very real Formula one experience, almost akin to the real thing.

F1 2016, in many ways is just like the sport itself. It’s interesting before the race begins, as viewers can spectate the inner workings of the sport, but once the race gets going, and racers continue to pass laps one by one, it all turns into a one, soul destroyingly dull blur, which soon makes one want to switch the channel, as nothing is happening, and you’re simply watching the same Rolex banners over, and over again.

The end of summer is here and it is time for the annual titles to rain on us from the gaming Gods. No different than many other popular yearly franchises, the official FIA Formula One World Championship flagship title, F1 2016 is now available and back with even more Formula One goodness. Chalk full of exciting tracks, a robust career mode, and the new Formation Lap / manual starts feature, F1 2016 promises to be the most complete F1 experience ever. Spoiler Alert ... F1 2016 delivers on that promise.

F1 2016 is fantastic and is the provisional pole sitter of the series. One for every F1 fan and a definite must have for the racer in your life. Being able to battle against 21 other real life opponents, not just in a single race but in a full season, is a whole different formula for the F1 series. It's an experience we have been yearning for over the past few years and welcome changes add depth with reducing the entry level.

F1 2016 is a very enjoyable game. The visuals are great and the game has a variety of different modes. But the tutorial is pretty bad and overall the game needs more polish.

F1 2016 certainly lives up as a must buy for fans of Formula One, but even fans of the racing genre as a whole, I would definitely recommend this game, despite just a few niggles with the AI.

Die Jungs von Codemasters haben meine Wünsche weitestgehend erfüllt. Endlich gibt es einen Karriere-Modus, der mich sogar ganze zehn Saisons an den Bildschirm fesseln kann. Die Einführung der Herausforderungen in den freien Trainings wirkt erfrischend, wenngleich diese mit laufender Spielzeit repetitiv werden. Weiterhin ist der Spagat zwischen Arcade-Racing und Simulation wieder außerordentlich gut gelungen. Online gibt es dank Lobby-System viele Gegner, die bezwungen werden möchten. Dank dieser versöhnlichen Rückkehr kann man über den verkorksten Vorgänger hinwegsehen und jedem Formel-1-Fan nur raten, in diesem Jahr wieder zuzuschlagen. Für das nächste Jahr wünsche ich mir dann allerdings einen Split-Screen-Modus, die Online-Coop-Saison und den Classic-Modus zurück. Bis dahin werde ich mit meinem Zögling weiter an der Million arbeiten. Keep racing!

F1 2016 is the ultimate revanche on F1 2015's lack of a Career-mode. F1 2016's Career Mode is meaty and perfectly executed. Alongside the lovely racing experience and multiple other modes, F1 2016 is an excellent game that is a must buy for F1-fans.

If you are a fan of the Formula 1 racing then this is a game for you. You can tell time was taken in its development creating a detailed true to form game for the franchise. I would have loved to see some extra beginner-friendly modes, but between the tutorials and some extra practice you will be picking it up and crossing the finish line in no time. If someone like me could have fun writing this F1 2016 review, Formula 1 veterans are sure to have a blast!
