F1 2015 Critic Reviews

There's a significant improvement to the visual engine over last year's game, and while it's still not the most beautiful racing title out there, the improvements in the engine have allowed F1 2015 to offer a greater sensation of speed, and that is at core what a racing game engine should be about.

The game mode strip down this year by Codemasters with F1 2015 is evidently step one of many for a reboot of the popular franchise. Where modes have been taken, major improvements have been made. A whole new game engine giving advanced visuals and handling makes F1 2015 the best yet.

One of the best racers on PS4.

Control and graphics are really competitive, although there is an obvious lack of modes compared to the previous games in the franchise.

Codemasters Racing Studio offers the best Formula One game with F1 2015. The EGO Engine improves on new generation platforms and it's a great idea to include the 2014 season. You'll miss some game modes and a more realistic AI.

F1 2015 brings racing gameplay to a new level. Handling is close to perfection with lots of stuff to customize. Howerever, there aren't as many game modes as you would hope.

A fine first entry of the franchise on the current console generation with great potential, though some technical mistakes, strange AI and a lack of modes keep it from receiving a higher score.

The first Formula 1-game for the current gen consoles and PC is pretty good, which is mainly because of the great controls and realistic way of capturing the highest race class in the world. It is a let-down that the driving experience is interrupted by unstable graphics and lack of features.

F1 2015 offers a good gameplay and good graphics, but the lack of modes, the damage system still imperfect and some bugs have an impact on the overall evaluation.

One step forward and two steps back. The handling model and the graphics at last received a necessary overhaul, but the game presents itself stripped of career and alternative modes, slightly bugged and still missing a convincing collision system. It will still please fans of the saga who don't care about progression, but for the full package we'll probably have to wait until next year.

It may not be fun, but it’s realistic.

In my experience, setting the game to Pro and using a joypad is an experience in frustration. You will need many hours of practice starting at amateur and slowly disabling driving aids before you can finally remove all the training wheels.

Codemasters has focused on the gameplay and the visuals and has left behind the some content available in the previous episodes of the series. If you're aware of it and ok with that, then you'll get a pretty good F1 game.

F1 2015 doesn’t have many of the features and game modes that we’ve seen over the years, and this feels disappointing given delays during development, but it gives a solid basis for future growth. With lush visuals, tight car handling, good racing and a sprinkling of fresh ideas, this is exactly the fresh start that Codemasters needed.

F1 2015 crashes halfway through and misses some of the elements that can't be missed in a racing game. Even so, the franchise's potential is still there and Codemasters only needs to keep forward in next entries. F1 hardcore fans will enjoy it far more than regular gamers.

While the racing action has never looked or played better, F1 2015 unfortunately disappoints in its lack of modes.

Content-wise, F1 2015 has shed more parts than a car cheese-grated into a barrier. Fancy new visuals and some engineer add-ons prevent this from total disqualification.

A solid bedrock for PS4 iterations, if lacking long-term appeal.

I am happy to announce that Codemasters are not leaving the novice players behind in order to chase the most realistic F1 game to date.

Codemasters misses the first next-gen attempt with a game poor of content, despite the presence of a good engine and a full F1 license.
