Great little game, has a retro feel. A solid little racer and a fun time waster.

Ok so... the game has bugs, the xbox 360 controller bug is particuarly annoying! But.. when on track, this is most fun i have had with a codemasters F1 game. The car feels lively, especially under braking, in the wet it is a total handful! I actually need to use my wing mirrors against the AI in this game, they seem much more concious and willing to attack.

Best of all.. in previous games i have felt like i was the only influencing factor in the race, if i didn't cause something to happen, it would be proceedural and finish to the expected result. Rather than action only happening directly around me, the race actually feels alive, overtakes, incidents and mistakes seem to happen around the track.

Some of the previous features are missing, such as career mode.. the line from Codemasters is that people rarely finished career mode and wasn't worth the time, the response from the internet seems to disagree.. but ultimately this is something that they could change post release if they wanted to. And hopefully will.

The audio in the game is brilliant, the engines sound much better than previous games, (particuarly the Honda)! And your race engineer is much more useful! The little race intros from David Croft (and Ant Davidson i think?) do bring more of an event feel to the race and good for the first time around, but i have already started skipping them.

The core of the game for me is how the racing feels, and in that category this game is brilliant, their best yet. The missing game modes are garnish, the bugs will be fixed, the racing is what matters. Although this game feels as though it was rushed over the line, it is fun and challenging in a way that none of the previous games have been.

I understand the frustrations of others but i can't enjoy this game as much as i have and give it a negative review. Thumbs up.. now fix the bugs Codemasters!

Early Access Review
I cannot recommend this game. The developers have openly admitted that early access for this game (at a significant price) was merely to see IF it would generate enough sales,. They have now decided it hasn't and have severely scaled back development to the point that it is barely being worked on, the last update to the game was July 2014. This is NOT in the spirit of early access and does not meet the guidelines published by Valve, it destroys early access trust within the community. There was no mention on the early access page that development would be dropped/reduced if they failed to generate sales, this has mislead us as to the intentions of this game developer.
I need to comment on the game itself.. its unfinished.. don't buy it.

The cars feel more fun to drive in F1 2014, more raw, more of a handful. The AI drivers also seem much improved, more responsive to what is going on around them. The engine sounds are a little disappointing but overall enjoying playing so far!

Carries on well from the first game, maybe a little too easy and felt as though it lacked much of the atmosphere the first game brought but overall it was a lot of fun, especially in co-op.
