Best Review of the F1 2012 game (Xbox 360, PS3, PC; £39.99; 3+; Codemasters)

Full review of the F1 2012 game (Xbox 360, PS3, PC; £39.99; 3+; Codemasters) at the bottom of the post. These are some of the questions I address in my WandiSports review:


Is Schumacher returning to Formula 1?
What's happening with the McLaren team?
What do you think of the grey tint from the previous version?
How do the new F1 cars look in the game?
How about the onboard cameras?

How have the physics changed (tyre gripping, suspension..etc.) in the new F1 game?
Can you still get away with never over heating the tyres in the new game?

What new game modes have codemasters introduced?
Can you race against or as a particular driver?
Have they kept the split screen mode?
What about the AI drivers? Are they still easy to beat?
Have they kept Maldonado?

The race engineer then? Is he any good this time?
Do we have a better penalty system?
What happens to the power when you go off the track in the game?
"Hot Laps"? What's this?

How about the loading times? It was a pain before!
Are there any fixes for the game for pc, PS3 and Xbox? Have you been struggling to use the Driving Force GT wheel? Here's a fix you could try and where you can find it.

Finally, how do you feel about the menu systems?

Here are some facts and numbers:

Wheel Weight 10%
Environmental 40%
Feedback 100%
Wheel Dead zone 1%
Saturation 5%
Linearity 50%

Here's the full review:

 

Hope you all enjoy and find it useful.

Barcelona Day 3 "The money bag is on the move"

Yes i know i slammed money bags (Pastor maldanado) in my last post and i know that he set the fastest lap in the 3rd day of testing but i stand by my previous words, in other news Mark Webber appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel and set an embarrasing lap time that was roughly 2 seconds slower than Maldanado. full unofficial laptimes below

It would appear the Red Bulls this year are not just going to walk away with it. The previous two years the Red Bulls chassis has been so quick that even Mark Webber has managed to top some time sheets and keep up in the top half of the grid,(No offence to Mark but the only thing slower than his driving is the answers he gives to press conferences) and i know its early days but i think the other teams have closed the gap.....

The Hulk sets the pace in the 2nd day in Spain

Another young german lit up the beautiful roads of spain (the track i hope) and set the fastest time, however he was on the softer compound (super-soft) and only 2 tenths behind was 3rd place man vettel on the harder (soft) compound, full unoffical laptime below

I have always liked the hulk, i though it was rediculus of williams to let him go to the money bag that is Pastor Maldenado, the money bag has little (or none what so ever) driving skill and a bad temper (intentionally hitting Hamilton in Spa last year p.s if you believe that to be an accident then please imidiatly call your optician and have a thorough eye test) but alot of money.....

I bought a kart!!!

I recently made a trip 'round to Bolton to buy a kart, ill keep this post short and sweet and ill give details when i post pictures and stuffs, the kart belonged to current EasyKart Junior drive Will Jeavons,

As you eagle eyed readers may have guessed , i bought an EasyKart,

For those who don't know, EasyKart is a project between popular Italian chassis manufacturers Birel and the American engine manufacturer IAME, they tried to make a series that is a step up from arrive and drive karting but keep the main basic principals, as everything is provided by EasyKart, and due to this costs have been kept relatively low.
