F1 2013 is available in two editions. F1 2013 includes the full game of the current season and classic content from the 1980s. Alternatively, fans can choose to purchase F1 2013: Classic Edition, a premium version of the game limited to a run of just 10,000 units in the UK, featuring bespoke box art and expanding the game with 1990s Content and Classic Track Packs. Classic content in both editions is introduced by legendary broadcaster Murray Walker and can be experienced in a range of game modes, including split-screen and online multiplayer.
F1 2013 is further improved and enhanced with wide ranging technical and gameplay improvements. New Scenario Mode pushes gamers to complete realistic Formula One challenges and earn awards for quick-fire racing, whilst mid-session saves allow players to complete a full Grand Prix weekend at their own pace. An expanded Young Driver Test, based on the real world event set at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit, eases novices into the world of F1 racing and includes a range of challenges to enable players to master elite driving techniques.
F1 2013 makes another dramatic leap forward in graphical quality, setting the benchmark for how good a racing game can look, and improved driver AI behaviour will further immerse players in unique Formula One races.
Over the years I’ve been a big supporter of Codemasters’ F1 games and I still am without a doubt. Regardless of how people may feel about the games there is a considerable history for the depth of excellence associated with Codemasters’ racing heritage on consoles and beyond. This is why it surprises me that F1 2013 comes with so many staggeringly poor design choices that beggar belief and make positively no sense to me as a fan.
One of the things I was really looking forward to when it comes to F1 2013 is the return of the Grand Prix mode. For the unaware, the Grand Prix mode was a feature from F1 2011 that allowed you to create a custom championship with any driver on the grid in both single player and multiplayer split screen. It allowed a friend and myself to have some pretty excellent championships and was such a good laugh with local multiplayer in an era when split screen is so widely neglected. Codies decided it would be a staggeringly excellent idea to remove the mode completely from last year’s game with no reason why, and lo and behold it’s come back without the multiplayer aspect.
