Codemasters have crafted the best F1 game that you can get on a console. With near perfect gameplay albeit hit and miss visuals, F1 2016 is a must for fans of the genre.

With plenty of content to keep you playing whether on your own or with others over Xbox Live, as well as the excellent career mode and online championship to get your teeth into, and the best handling and physics of the series, Codemasters has hit the nail on the head with F1 2016. Everything which was lacking last year is back in abundance, and the level of control – regardless of whether you’re using a wheel or a pad to play – is perfect.

Even if still lacking on the graphics side, F1 2016 marks a good step forward for the series thanks to the satisfying career mode, capable of making us feel like real drivers, while driving model, enemy AI and multiplayer support all stay at very good levels. Recommended for any Formula One lover.

Codemasters has gone the extra mile for F1 2016, addressing almost every last one of F1 2015's shortcomings, while delivering an in-depth and enjoyable Career Mode at its core. Factor in all of the other modes and touches, and F1 2016 is not only the most authentic Formula One game to date, it's also one of the best in some time.

Make no mistake, F1 2016 is pretty, but in some areas and not others.

F1 2016 is a real upgrade on its predecessors, and hints at a promising future.
