The last test with F1 2011 has not left us too keen on the final quality of the game but, fortunately, the version of "almost" complete shows encouraging signs. To be precise, you can adjust the driving model to ensure that more closely resembles the real NBA coming out from the arcade. But then we finally perfect the simulator? Not really...

The main problems were identified during the preview on our computers too much control of the car and on what happens around. The feeling, in short, that you are driving on autopilot and that the races were coerografate to make a spectacle and not to simulate a real competition. This is true also of the outright (and was part of F1 in 2010) but acting on a number of options you can radically change the situation. With the basic settings, a choice that we can define absurd, F1 2011 locks the tire wear, fuel and turn off any real damage to the car, leaving only the aesthetic ones. Summing up the "stroke of genius" in the presence of many driving aids (such as ABS, Brake Assist and traction control), it is easy to understand how the control of the car appears totally unrealistic in the early laps. Code masters in style, find the options is a challenge, but once identified in the screen of the difficulty, finally "unlock" the game as it should be first loaded. The car made ​​more fragile by entering variables such as tire wear, grip with less reliable, eventually you start to have some feeling for the medium, eliminating perfect trajectories and contacts that leave no mark on the performance. Always that they are different arcade simplifications, such as continuous contacts that do not generate any result, playing like this driving is more realistic and the Flashback almost becomes a strategic asset at the highest levels of difficulty. Rather than setting fire to the console and game after having thrown away a race on the penultimate lap, you can try riavvogendo the replay, but only for a certain number of times. On the other hand, this was also the last year, so it remains to understand what has been added for the new edition.

The new so-called "structural" F1 2011 affecting mainly the multiplayer through a career as soon playable online with a second user and a host of tweaks to menus and interface. Remaining as faithful as possible to the real NBA, for licensing reasons, we find the latest technological wizardry of the circus world champion, or KERS and DRS clearly visible and can be used as indicators as functions using the appropriate buttons on the controller. During the preview we have already described the use that, actually, is not so drastic for the purpose of our performance, except to add a bit of variety for overtaking. More important, especially given the criticism of last year, is conducting the competition, which is more reflective of what we see on television on Sunday. Choosing a medium-long term, the events that follow one another on the track seem more likely, starting with contacts in starting up the weather changes, through the continuous radio messages of our engineers .Most of the bugs related to the first episode are gone, but the AI ​​shows some damage and the application of the Regulation is still touched up on patches. It is not uncommon to see riders who are opponents when the door without cause, compromising their performance, or that even if the trajectories close lapped several times. On the side of the penalty, if it is good to see reproduced flags and messages of Commissioners, it is not always the scapegoat of the most serious incidents; we did not even Schumacher or Montoya surname.
