GAME OF THE MONTH
F1 22
When we said we wanted to be an F1 driver, we weren’t talking about the bit where they pop to the shops for a pint of milk in their daily or browse material swatches for a new rug in their minimalist living room. Strangely enough, the biggest new additions to F122, out now, are very little to do with actually driving Formula One cars. The new F1 Life mode allows you to customise a fancy living room, which is more TheSimsthan driving sim, and there’s now a modest stable of road-going supercars to drive. While the inclusion of supercars isn’t a bad idea, unfortunately they handle with all the grace and poise of a broken shopping trolley. Fortunately, what the F1 series does best... er, F1, is still absolutely brilliant. You’ll also be pleased to hear that the sport’s ongoing porpoising problem, which turns serious professional athletes into nodding dog dashboard ornaments, is mercifully absent from the game.
