#F1 2012 REVIEW DRIVERS#

The mode comes off as contrived and pointless for experienced players, and the inability to progress to career mode before completing the first day of objectives is frustrating for competent players.Д¬areer mode вЂ“ once you can get to it, that is вЂ“ is business as usual.

#F1 2012 REVIEW DRIVERS#

This year sees the addition of the Young Drivers Test.

YouвЂ™re not just handed the keys straight away, though. Aside from a few obligatory checks of your in-game email, F1 2012 feels firmly concentrated on the racetrack, and itвЂ™s vastly better for it. No dull interviews, no banal post-race press conferences вЂ“ even the removal of the motor home menu welcomes the departure of off-track-centric rubbish.

CodemastersвЂ™ F1 2012, however, packs a lot less surprise but just the right amount of drama.Д®ven though Noel GallagherвЂ™s nasally ballad вЂWhat A LifeвЂ™ reverberates into earshot during the opening pre-roll, thereвЂ™s no glamorous, champagne-spurting superstar lifestyle here. So far the 2012 season has been exciting and intense, despite MaldonadoвЂ™s attempts to hospitalise every driver on the grid.
