F1 Race Stars Review (360/PS3)

01:12 PM - December 12, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Codemasters has a pedigree of making some outstanding racing games. From DiRT to GRID, they know what to do when it comes to developing them. But what about kart racers? Can Codemasters succeed in that specific genre of racing?

Featuring real-life drivers on overly exaggerated courses and crazy power ups, Codemasters sure hopes so with F1 Race Stars.

I had a lot more fun playing the demo of this game than I did playing the Sonic Transformed demo. I thought that game was bland and dull, while I thought F1 Race Stars was vibrant and fun.

And I like the pace car power up - I think it's clever and does happen in real F1 races quite a bit.

Don't believe the negative reviews on this game people. It is by far the best kart racer I have played probably ever. So, if you liked the demo you will love the retail.

And stay far away from sonic allstars

It will definitely have its fans, but I just didn't see it as "the best kart racer." It did things most other kart racers have done before. Still, if you enjoy it, that's is great as I know of games I enjoy that other people didn't like.

I would agree with you that F1 Race Stars is vibrant, I even put that in my review after my first few hours with the game. Sonic Transformed, to me, has better gameplay, but some people will have differing opinions.

I just read on Facebook that this game will be a free download for Paystation Plus Subscribers on Feb. 6th 2013.

The non racing game Sleep Dogs will also be available for free.

If that is true (and I hope it is) then I will get this game and play it.

Apparently the info about the game being a free download was incorrect. However the game is available for a 1 hour free trial. Oh well.

game came in the mail on Friday, played it a bit yesterday. good times for just 15 bucks.

IMO, thats what it should have cost. i bet it would have sold much better at that price as just an XBLA game.
