Running it on PC across three screens F1 2017 is visually stunning. I did have to tweak the settings a bit, but other than that, the handling and force feedback was superb. My Thrustmaster T300 RS was recognised straight away. Of course, a racing wheel makes all the difference. After a while, though, I had no problem screaming around the circuits. The controls were a bit snatchy to begin with using an Xbox One controller. These allow players to try different cars and circuits from F1 history in special challenge events. The career mode also features invitational events, which break things up a bit. Overtaking opportunities are few and far between and it's easy to get caught up in the pack at the first few turns. The wider cars and faster races has increased the challenge on the track. The actual Grand Prix races require nerves of steel. Among other things, you learn to hit the right points on the racing line, increase your fuel efficiency and better understand tyre management.

Not only do you earn resource points, the programmes also teach you how to be a better driver. The practice programmes give you a clear goal during your practice laps. I've always found practice sessions a necessary evil, but you need to learn the circuits if you want to win races.

The RPG-style upgrade tree gives the career mode a considerable amount depth.

This allows you to fit new upgraded components to the car during the season. There's also an element of engineering management, allowing players to spend points earned during weekends on R-D. The career weekend is completely customisable. For a compact, but still somewhat authentic experience You can choose a couple of practice sessions, a one lap qualifying session and, say, 25% race length (with or without a formation lap). Full length Grand Prix with formation laps. You can choose full practice and qualifying sessions. You can opt to go straight into a shortened Grand Prix race of just a few laps or opt for something a bit more involved. The detail put into creating a full race weekend is incredible. There are time trials, special championships and even downloadable events that put you right in the thick of it.Ĭareer mode gives players the chance to embark on their own personal Formula One experience. You can also choose the time of day (some have night races), the weather and even classic F1 cars. You can play a single Grand Prix or batch together your favourite circuits.

Under the hood, all the work that Codemasters have put into the previous games have gelled together to create a fully featured Formula One experience.Īs with previous entries, F1 2017 is a feature-rich game. In fact, most of the game looks the same at first glance. On the surface, the user interface and menus as almost identical to last year.

In Codemasters' F1 2017, we have the most exciting Formula One game to date. This has changed circuit characteristics to the point that some turns can now be taken at such speed that they are not really turns at all.
