These challenges are not just mini-games, but incredibly helpful exercises that not only provide you with things to do, but actually help you get better at driving, and better prepared for the race. Free Practice sessions are now no longer just there for you to lap the track and get a hang of the layout, and even if that was the case, why would a gamer need three, like in the real world? Optional challenges are available to you over the course of the sessions that typically include acclimatising to the track by hitting all apexes around the circuit, doing runs at qualifying pace to see if you’re up to speed and doing tyre management exercises to help you get a good feel for how to not wreck your tyres too quickly during the race. The new career mode allows you to create your own driver, and contains a bunch of fun and interesting challenges that are housed within a race weekend’s usual proceedings.
Codemasters seem to have not only finally found their groove again, but also heard the fans yearning for a more interesting career mode. Thankfully, this is not the case with F1 2016. Murky, low-resolution graphics made the game feel like it was out of focus, the career mode was bland and the whole package uninteresting. All eyes were on F1 2015 as it debuted the first of the new-generation titles on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and on the Xbox version that we reviewed the results were underwhelming to say the least. As bold and creative as Codemasters’ original concept for the F1 franchise was, even they eventually suffered the same fate as sports game developers around the world by ultimately becoming nothing more than a machine to churn out a new-but-same-sports-game year after year.
