More inclined towards adventure lovers Sunday with the console, than in the direction of race-timers, but everyone will find in it something special for yourself. There are several difficulty levels and each can be modified according to their own whim, so you can play pretty nicely. So it is worth to buy F1 2011? Fans of the sport will need to reach for the title."

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."

F1 2011 is running on the Xbox 360 and F1 2015 is the Playstation 4 version. We take a couple of laps at the floodlit Singapore, one of the jewels in the Formula 1 crown, and we are using the now dominant Mercedes.
F1 2013 is the pinnacle of the series. They newer ones are arcady and watered down
i had no idea that codemasters did a F1 game so that explains why it was so ahead of its time.

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."
Normally no formula racing games appeal to me, but this one looks pretty sweet.
Got this game this morning (1 day before release in the UK, thanks shopto.net) and I'd call it a minor improvement, but a much needed improvement none the less. Wouldn't pay more than the £18 I did for it, as it feels a bit like a big DLC pack.
Handling is nothing like F1 2010 though, I'd say it's easier to drive with a pad as well despite what some reviews have said, feels more arcadey than the original, which was by no means a sim anyway but at least the driving was a challenge unlike now. Also the graphics are pretty disappointing, if anything they're worse than 2010 with it's shadow draw distances and textures, and DX11 doesn't seem to add anything.
