Every curve of the track, every control on the dashboard and every strategy in the pit lane is of utmost importance in this intensified world — and it's all re-created in stunning detail. Let breakneck speeds and ultra responsive cars transport you to the glamorous world of Formula One as you race toward the finish line.Get behind the wheel and experience the new Circuit of the Americas before its real-life debut with this breathtaking game. This dramatic new track features 20-turn circuits that take inspiration from some of the world's most difficult corners, including Silverstone's Becketts and Istanbul Park's Turn 8, and boasts elevation changes of up to 133 feet. An advanced weather system produces localized weather that can leave sections of the track wet while others stay dry for a dramatic and unpredictable race experience. Take part in training tutorials, such as the all-new Young Driver's Test at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina, to become familiar with the nuances of F1 racing and learn how to get the most speed out of your car. The new Lap Tutorials feature can help you perfect your car's performance, as F1 test driver Anthony Davis walks you through a lap of each of the 20 circuits, offering expert advice. Do you have what it takes to handle the world's toughest race circuits and steer your car to victory?

I bought this to play with a friend, and I've had a blast with it. It's not very realistic in some cases, but it's still very fun! Also, the Co-op Career mode is a nice touch, and makes playing the game with a friend very competitive.

If your a fan of F1 you must have this game. And with the new rules changes, it's going to be one of the last F1 games with the naturaly aspirated V8's.

They've really stepped it up with the new F1 2012. It's def. not the same game as the 2011 F1 game. They've even added a section to help people who are new to the sport; but still allows people who are advanced to custom set up their cars. Great game and I can't wait to play it more

This game has it all. Do a single race or a whole season. Do a full race ( around 75 laps ) or a percentage of a race. There is even a mode where you can take over in a situation such as a small lead with bad tires. You have to hold back the challengers with fresh tires for 3 laps.
