Finally, Scenario Mode is a more story based version of Career Mode. Time Trial needs to be connected to PSN, where you compete globally for top times, and features all 11 teams and 19 tracks. Time Attack was really interesting, allowing you to practice against ghost cars of your best times on six tracks. Proving Ground mode has three more options: Scenario, Time Attack, and Time Trial. Like GP Mode, you can customize the length of individual races, where you want to races, and things like weather and how easily your cars will get damaged. It's pretty easy to get online, and I had a buddy come over to check out the horizontally split screen. Players have the option to race everything from Grand Prix/Career Mode as well as F1 Classics cars and circuits. Multiplayer Mode has three iterations: online, split-screen, and LAN. Thus far I've only done single races of varying lengths, but you can also set up a full season or custom championship series. The possibilities seem endless in GP mode. Grand Prix Mode, which was last seen in 2011, is back and allows players to instantly race between all eleven 2013 F1 teams (two drivers on each), and the nineteen worldwide circuits, including Australia, Malaysia, China, Bahrain, Spain, Monaco, Canada, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Japan, India, Abu Dhabi, USA, and Brazil. There's also a lot of fun to be had comparing the handling characteristics of ultra-modern super machines versus the best of a different era. Seriously, even amongst F1 newbies, who hasn't wanted to be Mario Andretti behind the wheel of a Ferrari? Classics even looks nostalgic with its sepia toned worlds, but if you don't like that part, feel free to adjust the picture controls. Formula 1 fans will definitely get a kick out of racing classic cars and teams on classic tracks. Its sub-menu is similar to the Main Menu, and includes its own versions of Grand Prix (with five 1980-1988 cars, ten "iconic" drivers, and two 1980s circuits - Spain's Jerez and Britain's Brand Hatch), Time Trial, Time Attack, and a Scenario Mode with three types of challenges. There they have access to various modes: F1 Classic, Grand Prix, Career, Multiplayer, Proving Ground, and My F1 (settings).į1 Classics is the talk of this F1 release. For fans and those who own previous series entries, it seems as though Career Mode is a bit disappointing because it repeats too many elements from the 2012 season.Īfter quitting out of Career Mode the first time - even if you're like, ahem, someone that's totally not me, and failed the Young Drivers Test on the easiest mode possible - gamers will see the Main Menu. This is my first time with the 'F1' series, so I found Career Mode both intimidating and impressive. You literally get to compete in an entire season with all the practice and testing and 15-lap minimum races. Not only is the YDT training for the entire game, but it's also the first step along the behemoth that is Career Mode. Once installed, the game immediately launches the Young Drivers Test, where you learn acceleration, cornering, how to use the KERS (turbo boost ish) and DRS (a sometime-adjustable wing) systems. Installation added another 10-15 minutes. The 7253MB file was initially estimated to take 92 minutes to download, but with my 11Mbps ATT U-verse broadband connection, took several hours. Today, we are reviewing the Standard Edition of the PSN Download, played on a fat PS3.
