I've read some impressive reviews. Any thoughts?

It's very good, best one of the series imo.

Looks amazing, the feel of the cars is spot on and it's as easy or as hard as you want to make it. If you like F1, it's a no brainer. Make sure you use the in-car offset camera, it's the little over the shoulder view they've been using in the tv coverage this year, it really gives you the sensation of speed. As you pass someone around the outside of turn 4 at the Sochi GP track at 185mph, you'll feel like a proper F1 driver.

Looks quite good.

The only thing that annoys me is the "feeling" of driving - and using the controller not wheels/pedals..

Think I'll get it a blast. It's been a while since I played F1 and the last one I played wasn't much good.

Can you finally pause the game following some AI carnage to watch the accident? Even Geoff Crammond Grand Prix nailed that on the Amiga years ago!

Got it on Xbox One and it's brilliant, especially the R&D in the Career mode.

I started playing it last night with a dualshock - horrible. Throttle modulation is doable (though it's hard to not rev the tits off it with the clutch in, my race starts are generally picture perfect, if you're Lewis Hamilton). You get very little warning when it lights up the rear, the FFB/vibration is the usual juddery mess that doesn't communicate a lot of useful info.

Time to go shopping for a new wheel - I think it's worth it, as the game is a corker and has the longevity. Very impressed so far (aside from the above handling 'quirks').
