After so many changes with the rules of Formula One, the game has to stand the test of changing from 'GRID with F1 Cars' to its own separate entity, with its own unique feel and gameplay. Does F1 2011 overtake last year's instalment and take a podium finish, or does it simply score points for a well-placed, if unspectacular, drive?"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."

F1 2011 is running on the Xbox 360 and F1 2015 is the Playstation 4 version. We take a couple of laps at the floodlit Singapore, one of the jewels in the Formula 1 crown, and we are using the now dominant Mercedes.
F1 2013 is the pinnacle of the series. They newer ones are arcady and watered down
i had no idea that codemasters did a F1 game so that explains why it was so ahead of its time.

We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."
There is career mode and all the teams, tracks and drivers so yeh this gets my money cos im big f1 fan
There is no career mode. You get to play as one driver for one season as often as you like. I think its called championship mode.
Mate this is a proper F1 game, all the teams, drivers, tracks, rules etc. so get the real thing over the amazing porject cars for a true f1 experance.
Actually a pretty good review. Not enough people have reviewed the PS3 version. This thing needs to be patched ASAP to fix the frame rate issues. Otherwise this is a great game.
I traded in the PS3 version of F1 2011 for Dirt 3 the day after buying it.
I was very disappointed with the graphics (I have no clue whether they are better or worse than the other console version, I was just disappointed), and more importantly the framerate didn't feel smooth at all (rather crucial for a 30 fps racing game) and the force feedback on my G25 felt as sluggish as it did with the PS3 version of F1 2010.
It's difficult to believe that this game is running on the same base engine as the beautiful, fluid and handling/FFB responsive Dirt 3 (and Dirt 2 as well).
I would get the PC version instead - I ended up doing that with F1 2010, which did make for a better overall experience, although force feedback was still a bitch to dial in to reasonably satisfying results - but I converted my PC work place to a non-adjustable standing desk a month ago, so unfortunately it's not currently usable for games where I need to sit down.
Not impressed by this game, if you already own 2010 keep playing that instead.
