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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

While F1 2018 is undoubtedly a great game, only racing game fans who haven't already played its predecessor are going to feel wholly satisfied with it. Meanwhile, avid players of F1 2017 would be wise to wait until the inevitable F1 2019 – unless they really must engage in some multiple choice PR interviews between races right now.

F1 2018 is one of the best and most detailed racing games I have ever played. The driving mechanics feel great, giving the game a very authentic feel, but the best thing about the game is its revamped Career Mode where you can shape your driver's personality and traits as well as their performance on the race track. This is not one you want to miss out on. Codemasters' has done it again!

Codemasters improves the F1 series each year. This time the interviews are back, and they don't only improve the immersion, they have an impact of your career. With the official F1 license of 2018 you get the best F1 game since Geoff Crammonds F1 Grand Prix 4.

Due to some interesting features, such as the improved career mode, the vehicle upgrades and the basic idea behind the interviews, F1 2018 is worth a trip to the race track for fans of both the series and motorsport. New players without any previous reference to the series should perhaps take advantage of one of the cheaper predecessors, as there are no real innovations. For future parts, Codemasters should dare a little more and also tackle major changes, such as implementing a new engine, deeper interviews and introducing wider consequences for the decisions made in negotiations and other aspects.
