F1 2010 has already begun to cause a bit of a stir in the gaming and racing communities thanks to early reviews applauding Codemasters' attention to detail and ability to create a truly intense racer.
But is it really worth all the hype? XBox World 360 gets behind the wheel to see what it's all about:
Mark Webber spinning through the air using the rear end of a Lotus as a launchpad! Red Bull team-mates taking each other out of the race with a reckless overtake manoeuvre!
Massa burning out of the paddock with the refuelling nozzle and half of his pit crew still attached! Formula One is brilliant!
"It's not Wipeout," says Paul Jeal, F1 2010's senior producer. "We don't want players burning around at a thousand miles an hour all the time. We want them to think like an F1 driver - always considering the tyre wear, the track conditions, the best places to overtake."
Team VVV writes: "Following our recent Project CARS vs F1 2015 Monaco comparison, we now compare the very first game in Codemasters long-running series, F1 2010, up against its latest offering and we once again take to the streets of Monte Carlo."
Team VVV writes: "To follow up on our recent F1 2011 vs F1 2015 video, we decide to go one step further and put four iterations of Codemasters' F1 titles side by side for comparison purposes and for a little fun too.
We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."
Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.
F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..
The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.
Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).
Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
