F1 2010 is a racing game that's based on the official 2010 season of Formula 1 motorsports. That means you have access to real-life drivers and tracks as well as the teams that they would have competed for at the time. Since the game is modeled after the real season, this gives racing fans an opportunity to change history and ensure that their favorite drivers come out on top regardless of what actually happened that year.

On top of this, you have a chance to change weather conditions and race in ways that wouldn't have been possible. You can turn up the realism and drive your vehicle like an actual Formula 1 machine or simply switch to automatic and turn control of the shift lever to the computer.

You're free to set other tuning options as well, which will help decide whether your car favors a higher top speed over lower acceleration. Casual fans may not spend much time messing with these controls, but they're great for anyone who has always wanted to pretend they were a pit crew mechanic.

Ironically, F1 2010 has additional features that should please those who are interested in that side of racing. For instance, the game includes fully detailed actual pit crews that are designed to employ dedicated AI subroutines that enable them to act like their real life counterparts. These small details help to further make the game a very realistic simulation of Formula 1 racing.

Though it might take you a while to master this title, it'll be time well spent since the game's difficulty curve will continue to grow with you as time passes.
