Looking forward to your review. Still on the fence for this.

Picked it up this morning. Not liking the no vehicle damage unless on expert though. Big turn off from the start. Game looks incredible on 360, no frame rate hits or anything while playing. Love the dynamic weather.

It's a fun racer, has some issues, the pit issue for instance.

I will have fun with it, but probably won't last long in my rotation unfortunately unless some issues are fixed.

You do realize that in F1 there are accidents but they are rare. It's not NASCAR and it's not Indy/Champ car.

If there's more than 3-5 accidents a race, that's one crash-laden race. If there's 3-5 per race every time out, than Codies did something wrong in their game. In last's week Bahrain GP, Hamilton went out but he was the only car to do so do to an accident. And I think he just lost a tire and wasn't able to continue.

Why would you defend this glaring mistake? I feel shafted out of $70. Not going to put on blinders to make it feel better. The game is lousy. Let's review. 1. Major pit problem 2. No AI Accidents 3. No user car failures 4. Horrible interface 5. No laps/time under yellow 6. No crowd sound. 100% silent all the time 7. Scripted AI 8. No damage to car unless on expert mode. 150 into a brick wall, keep on driving! 9. No option to check the leader board, ever.

3 races isn't much, how long were the races anyway? THe CPU does wreck and there's video on youtube of the CPU wrecking.

The pit problem will be patched.

There are car failures

If you're into sim racing why would you not play on expert mode anyway???

Everything else you listed is subjective.

This game looks GREAT on PS3, but I am a bit let down. If it played even half as good as it looked, we would have something huge here. It's their first attempt, so I will not hold it against them. As a pick up and play racing game that looks great, this game shines. If you want a game that mirrors F1 in real life, this game isn't going to do it for you. zoxcv is pretty spot on. Reminds me a lot of Gran Turismo. Very good looking and fun, but falls far short of the realism it strives for.

Press enter (Obviously different on console) where you select the difficult level, then you can scroll down and change the damage (Among other things).

This has to be a console only thing. I did a 10% race and the caution came out twice, and when I drove by, there were pieces of car on the track. I cant imagine that there is that big of difference between the two versions though, if so, that really sucks for console racers.

Sorry, I obviously I wasn't clear enough.

Move the cursor (Or whatever you want to call it) over difficulty level, and press whatever button you use to advance through menus. That should bring up another menu, where you can scroll down and select damage.
