F1 2009 iPhone/iPod Touch Review

Leso · 01-01-2010, 03:20 PM

Just a note as no one here seems to have mentioned this. Logitech's Speedforce Wireless wheel for the Wii makes driving a lot more realistic. Best Buy in the US is selling them online for $30.00. Driving with all the helps off achieves the quickest lap times. Except the shift buttons are in an awkward position so I still drive with auto transmission. All the force feedback road feel is there with lots of feel for the track conditions, cornering curbs, oil on the track (in Nurburgring race). Overall it is worth the money.

My review. Good physics, good road feel and driving experience. Good response to tuning. Cars performance varies. Nico Rosbergs Williams will not achieve as high a speed as the Brawns do. Rain and wet conditions are simulated well. The tracks are very well done. Bumpy in China, twisty in Hungary, Monaco requires intense focus and control.

AI sucks. Please fix this for 2010. Apply the same rules and damage to the AI cars. Tire wear unrealistic on shortened races. Even if you drive extremely slowly and carefully, whether you choose one pit stop or two, your tires wear out and begin to slip. There can be no late race charges with this set up. Please fix this for 2010.

It looks like F1 2010 will be a great game with online gaming. For Formula 1 fans this may replace rFactor as the game of choice.

The PSP game did better than the Wii game.

Also the Playstation Official Magazine UK gave it an 8 / 10 and the old 2006 game got a 7 / 10

my personal give on psp f12009, if you are thinking of buying it don't, the graphics are terrible and also the sound, i rather save the money for the f1 2010 on ps3/xbox/pc.

The graphics are quite good considering 20 cars are being rendered, plus the track and spectators. As for sound, I use enclosed headphones and the sound is fine. My only problem with the PSP version is no online multiplayer for adhoc Party fixes that
