This is the eighth installment from Codemaster's F1 series released for PS4, xbox,1 and Steam that brings you inside the world of f1 motor racing to compete for the world championship. The main feature of this game is the career mode that let's you compete across all 21 real world locations. There are a load of setup options, and you can tailor the difficulty and simulation to your liking, the more objectives you complete over the weekend, the more resource points you can earn to develop the car. The better you perform, the more careers points you can earn, which are connected to global leaderboards. Each weekend contains practice, qualifying, and race events, the higher up the order you finish, the more points you earn towards the team and driver championships. 2016 is the first to introduce you to practice tests, which is something the series has needed all along. You see, F1 games are balls hard, and most people won't have the patience to learn the nuances of the sport, as well at the demanding controls. The acceleration and brakes are mapped to the throttles and work incredibly well. Driving an F1 car is different than you might think. You need to time your braking zones, glide through the apex, and gain traction. Its a visceral experience. Remember to not floor the gas if you want to preserve tires. There are also buttons that used to shift through the fuel mix and status screen, which can be a little cumbersome, like I imagine it would be in real life.

But that's the great thing about F1 2016, there are so many simulations that you can totally get absorbed in this game for a long time, and because of all the tools and options you have at your disposal, you can start in a rookie scenario while pealing back assists and upping the AI to give you the experience threshold you want. The game runs smooth and has a tremendous sense of speed. The character models are improved and the replay cameras are good. The audio is mixed well, although I did change my engineer to speak out of the TV and not my controller. Overall, F1 2016 is the most definitive F1 game to date, and I look forward to what Codemasters has for everyone next year. B+
