Best Formula One Video Games
The Top Ten
This was awful, just a repackaged 2013 with less exciting gameplay and the less exciting season. - submergedboy
My favourite one since the 2000, better controls than 2013 and more fun also. I can definitely say that I'd go on it more than most F1 games, especially on the PS3
If anything it is one of the worst f1 games in codies era
The best of them all
Another quality f1 game, enjoyed this one a lot too. I liked the classic stuff especially. - submergedboy
Anyone of top teams could be champions, very good game
Better than 2014
This will always hold a special place in my heart. The first Formula 1 game I owned. Controls are easy to pick up as a beginner. Arcade mode is a short fun time. Championship is easily enjoyable. Full length qualifying (back when it was an hour) can drag it back down nowadays, however this is just what it was like in 97. The ability to change driver names I always enjoyed.
This one made up for the mistakes with 98 and felt like a proper improvement on 97. The graphics were a massive improvement
Basically, they saw mario kart and said "i want some of that" and literally made a crappy rip-off of it. okay for kids, I guess. not a fan of the made-up teams either. - submergedboy
I'll have to give this a vote because I just find it enjoyable and different. It isn't your typical F1 game and, as my partner can testify with, even non-F1 fans can enjoy it. It's pretty much F1 Mario Kart style
It's just a cheap version of mario kart, it's not that good
This one was made by EA Sports and was the first one I played without commentary. I enjoyed this. The still added addition of being able to edit the grid was enjoyable. Not been able to find it since I had it
It was okay... nothing I particularly loved about it though. - submergedboy
This is the best f1 game as I have fond memories on career mode, I have never enjoyed a career mode on any f1 game like this
One of the best f1 games ever, good graphics, decent ai, good weather model and good damage model and this was released in 2007!
Very good for its time, it must be said. still engaging and realistic to this day. - submergedboy
One Word: Failure
This one wasn't really meant to be good. it was just a placeholder while they worked on 2016 to get it onto the new gen. as a result it was quite glitchy and featureless, but the new gameplay and model was good. - submergedboy
The Contenders
Perfection
This is the good stuff. I miss logging on to my 360 in 2010 to fight another close championship. - submergedboy
What else could it be? If it is possible to have nostalgia from as recently as eight years ago, then this is the ultimate of it.
My childhood. 17 seasons of career mode. I loved it. I miss the days
An all-round solid game. nothing stand-out, but it was the foundation and added a lot of stuff that would lead to 2013 being so great - submergedboy
I used to have it!
My first f1 game. I mean obviously it was made for the wii and psp so obviously had limited features and graphics, but they did a good job with what they had. it engaged me enough to become a hardcore f1 fan. at the time, it was great. - submergedboy
One of the worst f1 games ever, it had abysmal graphics, poor ai terrible damage model, lacklustre pit stops, annoying engineer and a poor handling model. The only things positive about this game so you can watch qualifying while in the garage and you got a free steering wheel with the game.
The less said about this one, the better. - submergedboy
Possibly the best effort codies have done so far. - submergedboy
This game is very poor due to the fact that it was missing basic settings such as setting your race distance on spectator mode and the handling was too
One of the most dissapointing f1 games ever
This is even worse than 2009 (f1 fans, particularly WTF1 say)
Very innovative and added a lot of features, I loved the new r&d system. I will look back on this one with nostalgia, I spent the most time on it out of any f1 game so far. bit glitchy though. - submergedboy
The camera angler are awful on this game but otherwise, it is ok at best
