Racing against the AI makes me want to just go ramming all of my opponents off the track because they are completely dumb and race like they just had a bottle of whiskey and then decided to wear blindfolds. I’m a pretty decent driver in F1 games, so I know how to use the right racing line, when to brake, when to overtake, and so on. However, keep in mind that any mode that has you racing against the AI will frustrate you immensely. As you can see, there’s no lack of ways to race in F1 2016, and since this isn’t a F2P game, all those modes are available all the time. In addition to the Season mode, there’s also a Custom Season, where you can pick which races make up your season, a Quick Race on a single circuit, a full race weekend on a single track, Time Trial, where you race for leaderboards position, and a Weekly Event, which gives you a track and a driver and has you competing with others. Although the 100% race is a great challenge, make sure you plug your phone in because this game goes through your battery quite quickly. Race day is equally customizable, and you can do from a 1-lap race up to the full 100% race (usually over 60 laps). There are plenty of options in terms of how long you want spend in each mode for instance, you can do an 8 minute or 15 minute practice, and a 1 lap or 3 lap qualifying session, or even a 3 round qualifying session. You can do a full race weekend, which includes Practice, Qualifying, and Race Day. The game offers a full Season mode, where you can race all 21 circuits in a row. If you don’t follow the sport closely, you’ll still benefit by the licensing because the game’s 21 official circuits are pretty fantastic (well, almost all of them) and very fun to race in. Being able to race as Hamilton in the all-powerful Mercedes in Spa is definitely a treat you can’t get from other games. When the driving clicks, though, the game is really fun.į1 2016 brings along all the current cars, drivers, and tracks, so that alone makes it a great game for those who follow the sport. And on top of that, there are numerous bugs and design decisions that make playing the game frustrating at times. At the same time, half of those modes are marred by incredibly dumb AI opponents. First of all, this game has way more content than I expected it to have in terms of modes and ways to play it. Now we finally got F1 2016 ($1.99), and I have to say I’m impressed in some ways and quite disappointed in others. I love racing games on mobile, and I always thought that a well-made F1 game with the actual license and tracks would be great. So, when I heard at the Apple keynote that Codemasters was bringing what looked like a full F1 game to mobile, I was very excited. And I’ve also had the chance to play a couple of the Codemasters’ F1 PC games in the past, so I have a pretty good sense of what the developer brings to the racing genre. I’ve been a huge F1 fan for over twenty five years and still watch it religiously.
