![]() ![]() I should jump straight into the game, knowing what I know about the now redundant version, I was playing the day previously. Serial games shouldn’t change massively year to year. The interface is all pretty much the same, which is nice. ![]() Loading up F1 2013 you’re met with that cheeky chappy David ‘Crofty’ Croft, introducing F1 2013. Ignoring the Classic Edition elements, for now, let’s look at the bulk of the game that is ‘Career Mode’. So, one Xbox controller wireless receiver later and, using a proper controller, it opens the game up to what it really is. Having a choice of all or nothing for throttle and brake, it really doesn’t work. Just don’t…whatever you think, you can’t. Playing on PC, and being a console gamer, I initially had to use the keyboard to drive with. F1 2013 is vastly improved on all previous iterations. So, finally, we’re here…onto what I think about F1 2013. Perhaps I should compare the last 5 titles and look into the evolution of the F1 series? Leave a comment if you’d like to see that. It felt as if the front tyres were made of plastic, much like you’d find on the model cars!Īnyway, this is about F1 2013, not the history of the F1 series. However, I could glean a good impression of the game, and F1 2012 was a lot more ‘understeery’ than previous titles. I was on holiday when it was released, and by the time I got back, it was all about Call of Duty: Black Ops II so, I never actually played it past the young driver test. I’ll admit, I didn’t play a lot of F1 2012. No longer did I find myself pointing the wrong way and ultimately, at the back of the pack. An element of ‘drift’ was now in the game allowing for those hasty stamping of throttle moments to beat a fellow competitor out of a slow corner. The cars snapped so violently on the loss of traction that it was nigh on impossible to catch, resulting in numerous spins per session. The 2009 – 2011 version were, shall we say, ‘difficult’ to play. Having gone through the trials and tribulations of the last 5 years since the inaugural version in 2009, I always look forward to getting a new version of F1. ![]() I’ll admit, I was ecstatic! F1 2013 is a game I have to have, and I’ve got it. Now into its 5th generation, F1 2013 is here to give us F1 fans that little pick-me-up we need during the off-season.Ĭodemasters were kind enough to send me a Steam key for F1 2013 on PC last week. Codemasters has been producing F1 games since 2009 after announcing a deal in May 2008, securing the rights to F1 when Sony’s deal expired. We can still get our fix of F1, and this year it’s courtesy of Codemasters and F1 2013. The F1 season has come to an end, a German has more than likely won the Drivers Championship and our attention turns to Christmas and the January testing of next year’s cars. F1 isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but for those of us who love it, this time of year is a turning point. I am a massive fan of F1. I’ve been hooked on it since 1994 when, as no more than a wee lad of 6 years old, I turned on the telebox to be presented with these loud, fast, colourful machines hauling ass around a strip of asphalt. ![]()
