F1 2011 Game Review for Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, PC
F1 2011 is Formula One racing game that challenges players to “Be the Driver and Live the Life” as they take on the role of an up-and-coming driver on the FIA Formula One World circuit. Sequel to Codemasters Birmingham’s F1 2010 game, F1 2011 is designed around the EGO game engine, which renders more detailed damage and physics for in-game cars across larger environments than technologies used in other games. Additional features include: unprecedented authenticity with real-world Formula One racing, a huge range of tunable vehicle variables, your favorite drivers from the FIA circuit, new circuits and rule changes for 2011 and a new focus on multiplayer gaming, including a co-op option.

Developed under Codemasters’ exclusive worldwide agreement with Formula One World Championship Limited, F1 2011 will come complete with all the official drivers, teams and circuits featuring in the 2011 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.
