Instead you will find an unforgiving racing simulator that takes a lot of the excess "fluff" out of racing games and instead forces you to deliver with sniper rifle accuracy. If you are in search for an arcade racing game that will allow you to bounce off of other cars as you bash your way to the finish, you won't find it here. This sonic event isn't felt anywhere in F1 2014 to the degree that it should be and that is actually quite frustrating.
Massive flags that represent not only automotive pride but the pride of a nation fly free as the shouts of joy mix with the tears of sadness.
If you watch F1 on TV like I do, you can’t help but to take notice of just how passionate F1 fans can be. If, however, you are looking for the psychotic atmosphere of thousands of die-hard international F1 fans, then look somewhere else. If you are someone who has never heard the scream of an F1 engine before, then you are in for a treat. It really does feel like an intense simulating driving experience when you are tearing around corners while hearing the engine roar in between gear changes and your pit crew chimes in on your headset to let you know of your stats during the race along with any pertinent information on the race itself. F1 is known globally for providing cars that when flying by seem to shatter the sound barrier at ear deafening pitches and even though there may be some unity in terms of power and design between the cars, every engine sounded unique and that's something my ears loved to hear. Of course with a new release you will find some tweaking to the gameplay mechanics and maybe a new car and course or two but what really struck my ear was how these machines sound. While some are just quick and easy pick up and play modes, others require you to hone your nerves to the point where they can shatter atoms in order to have a successful race. Scenario mode allows you be placed into a certain situation from which it is up to you to snatch a victory and is quite interesting when you are given selections that no rational thinking person on earth would choose. It's here where you will also find your seasonal challenges and evaluation test (to determine what difficulty you should be playing this game).

Career mode allows you to choose between a short season (seven races), all the way up to a full season (of 19 straight races). What's there though are your career, scenario and rival modes.

Last year the acclaimed "classic" mode really helped bring this series to a whole new level and sadly that is gone and it feels like a slight step backwards. Not in cars or tracks as those have increased but rather in the modes of play available. To begin our driving experience we have to note that this year features a diminished amount of content. This time we take note of what this new installment has to offer but most importantly we question is it really worth the purchase? Start your engines. With racing that involves razor sharp precision and demands a high amount of attention, to say that Codemasters has a hard time overcoming the highs and lows of F1 2013 is a tremendous understatement. Delivering an arcade racing game is fairly easy compared to trying to produce a simulation, and Codemasters tries to do just that in F1 2014.
