A lot of light, but also to einges shadow

The start they have made really nice. It rises relatively quickly into the world of Formula 1. The course of the race-WE is, if you want it because, true to the original. I would like in my review but not capitalize unnecessary, so I put the same time going on with the reviews / praise / criticism.

Control:

Here Codemasters has surpassed my opinion itself. The ride in an F-1 race cars is the constant ride on a razor blade. Here times braked too quickly and you are in the grass, there too late and block the wheels. For this, the major difference between hard and soft tires. Represented fantastic. The development on the WE a racing line is clearly noticeable. In the rain it drives like on raw eggs. Really convincingly solved.

There are smooth 5 of 5 stars

Graphics:

I as an old Grafikfetischichst place in terms of graphics the highest demands on the games. Formula 1 2010 to settle in my view in mediocrity. The shadow on the car are pixelated, the rear-view mirrors are so ugly that one hardly recognizes what (probably. Willed?). The pit lane looks empty and bland. At the races, the grandstands are rarely full, but mostly empty.

As a measure of racing game graphics will probably GT 5 act this year. Once you've seen the real and may have to rework safe here again (pos. Or neg.)

Edit: a revaluation of 3 to 4 stars done here after the patch has. Rear-view mirrors and shadows were processed now looks quite nice.

For this, I can only give 3 out of 5 stars.

Career Mode:

Here you can choose between 3-5-7 years and gets correspondingly poor / average / good starting teams. Man fights his way from race to race ... and yes, that around it which was previously announced as large erschüttend boring. The interviews often have logic errors and repeat. How to interpret the statements in an interview the teams that want to take a contract is puzzling and not explained logically I think.

Overall, it seems rather disappointing, but probably only because it was previously announced large.

Edit: After pacth no improvement. Rating remains so.

There are 3 out of 5.

Other / implementation of the rules / realism factor (EDIT LOOK!):

Now we come to the point where I have to think long. Are you here at all points? The AI ​​behaves in the race quite positive. She drives battle line and tried to defend himself. However, DC is also true for the qualification and training. They block without end even though they are mostly not even on a flying lap. Impudence high ten for me. The rules themselves are further very borderline implemented. A little bump can as fast times bring 5 criminal courts. This makes no difference whether the rest Speil oneself caused the crash or if the AI ​​is to blame ... very disappointing. On the topic of accident would be noted at this point: rollovers, mass crash, brutalo harakiri accidents ... that all there is - usually without consequence ... disappointing!

At this point, the tire / gasoline simulation must be mentioned urgently. While the AI ​​can be quite three quarters of the race contest with soft tires is the normal players on a fraction of. Disappointing! The same applies to gasoline simulation. While the AI ​​can perk up again drive Q3 times from the first round are lagging behind as a player ... 2,3,4 seconds partial. That is already easily the summit.

For this insolence I can give only 0 from 5 points. Too bad, because you expect more.

EDIT: The worst mistakes were screened with the pacth. AI now responds better in training and qualification. The times at the beginning have been adjusted, the rules seem to have improved. Here can / must definitely an appreciation done.

Conclusion:

Formula 1 2010 aroused great hopes and certainly is purely the steering is a great game. Many bugs, AI logic errors lead but quickly to great frustration. Overall, the game looks rausgehauen unfinished and just ... Too bad.

EDIT: after the patch I increase my rating from 3 to 4 stars. The game really convinced now over much. I look at the 11er part.
