    Hello ,

    i d like to ask for an opinion on F1 2015

    How is the sim compared to other sims and to F1 2011 (i stayed with 2011 version)

    and also maybe more important how is the motion (with simtools) in terms of dynamics and immersion?

    Personally, and only my opinion, the best version was 2012, after that it all went down hill. I am not alone in this view either after reading many reviews.

    I personally find 2012 excellent, especially around Monaco where I can feel every dip and curve and the Physics and handling "feel right"

    To be honest, you would get a better F1 experience from a game like Assetto Corsa or the Formula A cars in pCars than F1 2015.

    Why don't you download it cracked and check it ?

    If it's good, and if you think it's worth, buy it! Other wise, just keep 2011...
    It's not the best way, but it's a way that you can test and check yourself...

    Some reviews:

    at best a 5.....NO GAME HERE
    --------------------------------
    Was expecting more of the visuals, it looks like a slightly higher res version of the Xbox 360/PS3 F1 games.
    ---------------------------------
    F1 is the team where Codemasters trains its interns.

    If you'd like a REAL Codemasters racing game, get DiRT Rally. That game blows F1's socks off. It's amazing the contrast between products from the same studio.
    ---------------------------------
    Anything higher than a 6/10 rating will reek of paid review. Another lackluster and incredibly buggy in the long history of faulty games from Codies, who ban and completely ignore any and all feedback on their forums.

    It is incredibly annoying as a massive F1 fan that the last F1 console title I could have fun would have to go back two generations, as even Sony's F1 2006 on the PS3 was mind-numbing, although it wasn't glitchy. At least on the computer there are mods to emulate F1, but it's a pain in the @$$ having crappy official titles.

    @abs - Steam offer a refund if you play less than a few hours, so you could buy it, try it and request a refund if you don't like it.

    I did this with X-Plane. Preferred P3D and got the purchase price of X-Plane back.
