    Nice, some pretty nice reviews here.  I will likely pick it up largely for my interest in the career mode they have made.  Little things like radio information from engineers and what not have me pretty excited for it.  Building up your career from low budget teams seems like a great option to have as well.

    I have got quite into F1 lately but not sure if this is enough to persuade me. Forza may have to do

    One day i hope it gets a NA release. Being from Montreal I love driving around the hometown circuit. I still play my N64 F1 game sometimes. 
    Edit: Never mind its slated for the 21st sweet.

    Interesting that the US gets this game first as It's probably the least supportive locale for F1. Europe has been screaming for this game yet the overwhelming reaction from most of the US is subdued.

    ...man, it's a shame this is such a solid game.  If GT5 wasn't coming out in a month I'd pick it up in a heartbeat, I need a F1 sim...but GT5 takes care of that.   
     
    @abdo: @shadows_kill: This is the few things that makes f1-2010 better than GT5, it has all the teams and is geared towards F1.  Damnit, I'll have to pick it up on sale...it looks and feels amazing from what I heard.

    @KaosAngel:
    I'm in the same boat as you (waiting on GT5) but i'm pretty sure F1 2010 will be better then the F1 in GT5. The same goes for the WRC racing in GT5 which will probably be outdone by the Dirt series. Honestly i hope the different diciplines in GT5 are great, but i have my doubts... previous GT games have had rally racing (which wasn't that good) and i would think that a game which focusses on one type of racing would be better, but we'll have to wait and see.  Looks like F1 2010 really captures the feeling of F1 and even has you giving interviews and stuff!

    One of the things GT5 will have over F1 2010 is an Adrian Newey-designed virtual F1 car that doesn't have to comply with F1 regulations. It reportedly breaks the Suzuka F1 track record by 20 seconds! 
     
    But yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on this!

    Virtual car? It breaks nothing if it doesn't actually exist. I've designed a plane that can fly around the world in an hour. It just hasn't been built yet. And wait till you see my invisible iPhone beater.
     
    Adrian Newey is busy with RBR. Do you honestly think he took the time to develop a full purpose built car for GT5? It's PR rubbish to sell to the countless mindless masses that follow that game like Lemmings. Congratulations. You bought it!

    I can't take one of those reviewers seriously after playing this game. Career mode is unplayable with > 20% race distance. Qualifying is a waste of time half the time due to buggy sector 3 tracking and dynamic weather? BAH! The AI will drive just as fast on option tyres in the wet as it does on prime tyres in the dry.

    @m0nty: That's the thing. The game feels great the first few days, and then you start noticing the glaring bugs. It has a great first impression. I stopped playing it because of the bugs and the arcade driving model. Same thing happened with Grid, Dirt and Dirt 2.

    I'm gonna keep it in the hope that it gets patched over the coming months. I'm just shocked that I've dropped it so quickly in favour of Dead Rising 2 of all things. I really didn't like the first one, but Case Zero just clicked for me.

    Damn. Link?
     
    Speaking of Suzuka, I wonder why in games like GT and Forza, they haven't taken out the 130R like they've done in real life. Definitely not complaining but just seems to go against the realism factor.
