Feel the power of new turbocharged Formula One cars in the most accessible Formula 1 video game yet. F1 2014 features all the cars, drivers and circuits from the 2014 FIA Formula One World CHampionship, including new tracks in Russia and Austria, the return of the Hockenheimring in Germany and the 2014 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix which ran at night for the first time in 2014. A new driver evaluation system which tunes the game to your level, shorter career options and new Very Easy difficulty level brings Formula One alive for absolute novices.
Experienced gamers can customise their settings to enjoy a more serious simulation of the demands placed upon Formula One drivers for a true challenge.
Although similar in content and technical level compared to the previous chapter, F1 2014 is a very different title in terms of gameplay, thanks to the new cars with turbo-electric engine. Solid and rich, it is a good product in waiting of the first Next-Gen Formula One.
F1 2014 could be almost a perfect game with a much higher rating if it were not for two things. Firstly, as with any serious simulator, F1 2014 is designed for high-end PCs with the decent wheel and analog pedals that allow precise acceleration and braking. When you try to play on the console or with a gamepad, you’ll be severely disappointed: the game even on the Very Hard setting will became much easier. The second major drawback is the lack of full replays. [Nov 2014, p.70]
F1 2014 is only for real Formula 1 fans. If you're looking for something new, you must wait until next year to get a next-gen F1 game.
F1 2014 is not a bad game, it was built on solid foundations of its predecessors, but it doesn’t offer anything new and is clearly just an appetizer before the next-gen F1 2015. [13/2014, p.71]
The loss of the Classic Mode, when people were expecting an amplification of it, is a serious and detrimental amputation to the interest of the game.
F1 2014 feels like something that needs to exist while Codemasters works on rebuilding the foundations for next-gen.
Don't go looking for any new features or updates. This year' incarnation is a product without purpose. [Issue#246]
