Mana Pool: F1 2011 Review

Mana Pool: There are many things Formula 1 fans cannot agree on, but most of them will agree that there hasn’t been a truly good formula one game on the PC since the good old days of the Grand Prix series by Microprose. There were some passable games on consoles, but largely speaking we’ve been deprived of a game which truly captured the spirit of the sport. This combined with a very boring few years in which the sport ceased to be truly competitive, caused somewhat of a decline of the popularity of the sport in general. In recent years, Formula One has had a ton of investment from it’s governing body, and has seen a huge lift in popularity as a result. So what better time for Codemasters to take some learning from last year’s attempt to bring F1 back to gamers, and create a truly memorable experience? Did they succeed? Let’s go and find out.
