F1 2018 is the best entries in the F1 Series and one of the best racing games that we have seen in this generation, but it is still not a game for every racing fans, specially not for arcade racing fans, because F1 2018 is a very professional and challenging simulator that takes hard on you and you must be very patient to become a professional in this amazing game. F1 2018 is a high quality game graphical and technical, and it has very accurate and challenging gameplay that would be amazing for fans of F1 and racing simulators. In the end, I must say that F1 2018 is a worthy game and Codemasters did a great job on it.

F1 2018 has everything to be considered the best Formula 1 game ever made. There are few new things, but Codemasters focused on further improving what was already good and did a great job. Career mode is more complete and immersive, online multiplayer mode promises great and balanced races, new classic cars have been added and the game has improved the pilot's sensibility as well, and faithfully represents the current season of Formula 1, In the end, F1 2018 is very well finished, fun and mostly challenging for any level of player.

The racing market is a crowded one, but F1 is pure racing, and the sport doesn't get much more exciting, or strategic, than this one

F1 2018, unsurprisingly, is better than last year's outing. There are no drastic overhauls to speak of, but thanks to another array of tweaks and minor additions, it's the best F1 title to date. Its biggest strength is in the single-player domain. The career mode features a lot of unique elements, like the R&D skill-tree, which can't be found elsewhere, and it successfully approximates what it's like being a championship-pursuing Formula 1 driver. However, in terms of its fundamentals, despite the improvements to AI behaviour, the force feedback, and advanced elements such as tyre-degradation, this remains too much of a work-in-progress. F1 2018 will likely test the patience of the sim-racing side of its audience, who have increasingly high standards. Ultimately, whilst being drip-fed improvements in incremental fashion, it seems unlikely that Codemaster's F1 franchise will make any grand leaps towards meeting the lofty standards set by dedicated racing simulators.

In less than a year, F1 2018 has managed to solve some of its previous problems and even aims for noticeable improvements. If you're a fan or not, let me just say this installment is the best one to play.

The latest and greatest F1 game for Codemasters roster, with just enough new about it to make it an update from last years. It'll be a hard push to see what they do for 2019, that's for sure, but Codemasters have had a long run with the F1 license, and it doesn't look like they're keen to stop anytime soon.

It is without a doubt the best F1 game yet. Whether or not to purchase it if you own previous versions will be up to you. For gamers new to the world of F1 racing it's a no-brainer to go with the latest and greatest version, although there's probably enough changes under the hood here to justify an upgrade from F1 2017 for returning fans.

F1 2018 continues on the good road set by the predecessors. The gameplay is the typical one, friendly with newcomers and complex for hardcore players. There are some problems with AI, but not enough to stop a F1 fan to buy the game.

Overall, F1 2018 is the first racing sim I have played in a long time because I could never get the handle of racing against other cars without smashing into them.

F1 2018 delivers a fantastic driving experience, and updates the game in many needed ways. I just wish the career mode felt more meaningful.

Quite how Codemasters has managed to top last year's incredible effort is quite beyond me, but F1 2018 manages to eclipse F1 2017, delivering an even more definitive and just as essential Formula One game that fans will 'lap' up. Get it bought.

F1 2018 is a better version of last year edition. A lot of changes make sense for casual fans. Fortunately, hardcore players aren't abandoned.

A brilliant evolution of an established franchise, F1 2018 has more content than ever to keep both casual racers and motorsport hobbyists occupied well into the offseason.

F1 2018 builds upon the past successes of the series and nudges it forward just enough. However, Codemasters will have to bring something dramatic soon as while the saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings true, when it comes to games, you need to reinvent just enough.

Similar to any Formula 1 car, the game is deep and fun to play despite occasional mechanical issues.
