F1 2010 Review
_____________

As I pull up to the grid in a respectable 8th place - thanks to some earlier qualifying heroics - the heavy rain thunders off my helmet in sync with my heartbeat. "It's all come down to this" I think to myself, all those hours of practice and the stresses of qualifying come down to this moment.

You didn't encounter any of the serious bugs then?

Fuel sim bug... where the AI cars does the same lap times as with fuel sim off, it's only you that have to deal with a slower and heavier car at race start.

Pit Stop bug... to your surprise you'll find out that Chandhok won the race... just because he never went into the pits even if you had the tyre rule on.

Little or no slipstreaming... even if you're just inches behind another car you don't get any extra drag while the AI cars does if they're close behind you.

And so on. These bugs are there on all three platforms and there's plenty more.

For an experienced driver like me I have to drive with every rule turned on, all aids off and AI set to legend to make it a challenge but some of these bugs are so annoying that if they don't fix them soon I'll send the game away and demand my money back. I've never ever experienced a game this buggy on release.

The graphics could have been way better. On which GPU was the screenshots taken? Or the game is itself like that?

Dunno what gpu the xbox 360 has, but that was what it was reviewed on.

I can say it looks better than that on my setup with DX11 forced on.
