Codemasters has done a fantastic job in simulating F1 races for the fans. Drive on different tracks around the world and compete with Formula 1 champions. F1 2017 lets you feel every bit of Formula 1 as fits a professional. The best F1 game ever.

F1 2017 has my favorite single-player career mode in any sports game, ever. I’ve won two separate Grands Prix now, and am looking forward to, in a future season, becoming the first American F1 champion since Mario Andretti in 1978.

Many were starting to get worried about the F1 series, but last year inspired hope yet again and now F1 2017 takes that an improves on it just enough. You certainly won’t find anything overly groundbreaking, but the new vehicle management setup and classic cars do just enough to get you back in that car for a victory lap with F1 2017.

F1 2017 is a satisfying experience of a Formula 1 race and it's the closest thing to the real-life experience. The game has tried to simulate these races accurately and the details are amazing. You really feel the pressure of a real race when you are playing F1 2017 and that's what you expect from a good simulator. Career Mode is better than ever and the improvement is very conspicuous. The Online Mode is good as well and you really get a nice Formula 1 package by getting this game. Of course, there are some minor bugs and problems but nothing serious to worry about. If you love speed and racing games you will enjoy F1 2017. This is the closest you can get to a Formula 1 race.

Everything in F1 2017 far surpasses everything that made 2016 such a great racing sim, and though the results aren’t as noticeably superior as last year’s improvements, the subtle changes here have set the bar on what makes a truly deep and exciting Formula One experience.

Codemasters once again tried to update F1, but every year, with new releases, base game becomes more boring, just like real "Formula 1", where one or two teams are fighting for titles. The game needs a fresh look. We hope to see a completely updated physics and more realism in the next one.

F1 2017 is only suitable for those who know and are in love with the world of Formula 1. They would absolutely enjoy every second of the game. However, it’s not recommended for those who are not familiar with this type of racing; they’d better go after other racing titles.

All in all, F1 2017 blew my expectations out of the water. My interest in racing titles had been waning, so trying the F1 series was one of my best decisions in a while. F1 2017 revived my interest in racing with its immersion and polish. The simulation is deep but allows casual racers to enjoy everything that it has to offer, and the career mode provides lasting appeal and value while adding a human touch to it all. Codemasters has brought a new level of simulation and enjoyment to racing games, and racing fans should snag F1 2017 and keep an eye out for F1 2018. I know I will.

Codemasters succeeds in doing better this year with a game which almost improves on all levels. The redesign of R&D through the integration of a huge tree of competence justifies many hours of play, while the addition of historical cars will fulfill the expectations of many fans. However, with all this great work on one side, it is disapointing to see such old graphics on the other side. Nevertheless, F1 2017 is an excellent game close to perfection, which will keep you in front of your TV until the next edition.

Overall, F1 2017 is another successful title from Codemasters. Those who enjoy F1 will find what they wanted in this game. But gaining this experience will be a very challenging task for newer players that can force them to quit playing

Although not as impenetrable to newcomers as earlier entries, F1 2017 in some ways falls victim to the curse of annual releases; with such a rigid release schedule in place the opportunity to meaningfully expand upon last year's effort is reduced and often the best you get is possibly a new mechanic and a whole heap of fine-tuning of established mechanics.

Codemasters liefert auch in diesem Jahr ein Rennspektakel, das seinesgleichen sucht. Die Karriere wurde durch die Einladungsevents gekonnt aufgelockert und die Integration der historischen Rennboliden verleihen ein Gefühl von Einzigartigkeit. Dennoch fehlen weiterhin die Möglichkeit einer Split-Screen-Meisterschaft am heimischen Bildschirm oder der Wunsch nach mehr Individualität beim Erstellen des eigenen Fahrers. In Anbetracht der Konkurrenz, bei der selbst ein FIFA mittlerweile einen Story-Modus bietet, wünsche ich mir für das kommende Jahr einen solchen. Wer würde nicht mal gerne seine Rennkarriere ganz unten starten und an der Hand einer Koryphäe an die Spitze der Königsklasse geführt werden? Es besteht also noch eine Menge Luft nach oben - doch in diesem Jahr wurde fast alles richtig gemacht, weshalb man bedenkenlos zugreifen kann.

If you're a fan of racing games, F1 2017 should be considered an essential purchase — even if, like me, you don't follow the sport. The racing is seat of your pants stuff just like it ought to be, and its career mode is simply phenomenal and offers tens of hours of in-depth gameplay. With F1 2017, Codemasters may have just made the best Formula 1 game ever, and I just can't wait to see how they aim to top it.

For all the F1 fans, this game is a must play. Historical vehicles, better career mode and fun physics model are the main pros of this game. Despite the weak AI and various minor faults, the game will provide enough enjoyment for tens of hours.
