Codemasters’ latest Formula One game looks fantastic

Whatever you think of the sport in real life, it’s impossible not to be impressed with how Codemasters have injected life into Formula one video games. With F1 2012, they are aiming to replicate the chaotic and competitive nature of this year’s season.

F1 2012 will feature split screen, co-operative championships and online multiplayer modes. Online will see 16 players, plus 8 AI cars to make up the full 24 car grid. There’s a new circuit, in the form of the ‘Circuit of The Americas’, and a ‘Young Driver’s Test’, that lets you experience how new drivers compete to become F1 drivers.

Check out the demo and see if Codemasters have made strides since the 2011 game, which was excellent, but not a massive leap from its predecessor.
