Is anyone here gonna get the new F1 2010 by Codemasters?
It looks pretty sweet, especially since there hasn't been a good F1 game in ages... Hopefully it won't disappoint. Let me know your opinion of it if you got it.

Yes, but not until they fix the pitlane bug.
It does look good though.

It's one of my most anticipated games of the year 

Last one I played was about a decade ago, so I'm ready to get back into the driving seat 

for me the main thing will be the handling. i couldn't care less about graphics, as long as it drives right. they've not included brake balance which sucks. But they have included engine management which is cool.

Reading the forums at codemasters. There seems to be a lot of bugs.
AI are apparently much faster in the race than they should be (simmilar to F1CE)
The pitstop bug where you wont be released till all cars in the pitlane have been let out first. (basically from dry to wet you will drop to the back)
Dry tyres work as well as the wets in the rain. Not fully confirmed yet.
Punctures happening to often
Think I might wait on this.

Are these bugs the same in PC and xbox 360 versions, do you know? If I were to buy it, I was thinking of getting the 360 version... but if the bugs are the same, there's no way to update  so I'd be screwed. Mmmmh I hope they won't let us down.

they are across the lot. Is your xbox not online? they are looking at a patch for it asap.

im getting it today but yeah it still should be good!

Got my copy this morning - so far so good.  Graphically excellent and car handling seems pretty good as well.

Haven't had the chance to see how different the cars handle in relation to each other yet.

Think I'm going to need a fair bit of practise though before I get competitive (I hope).

Using a hand controller for now but interested to hear people's opinions on a wheel and pedals.

Alex.

i have wheel and pedals and its amazing. it really cool how the rain starts to fall (friends ) and you have to change, i went to early at melb runn 16 in virgin ended up 23 cos i changed to inters then wets :S

but its amazing ive only had the pit lane bug once and well it was good because i would of ran strain to webber

but all good go and get it, even if you dont have a wheel. im runnin max settings and with fraps recording 35 frames.

Just check that out, I'm not posting to put people off, but for those who bought the game to see and know how to work around them for now till a patch is released.

This thread has just put me off buying the game. I have Rfactor for what is essentially a one person time attack, and with so much more I can do to the car to improve it.

well hey ive tried i got up to 15 at melb but couldn't get higher. im a good racer with a wheel so yeah. i thought the same thing but bit the bullet and its well amazing

Got it. Amazing game improvements could be made e.g safety car red flags.
