F1 2009 Review
Formula 1 is one of the hottest properties in sports at the moment, especially in the United Kingdom, with the last two seasons resulting in British champions. However, there hasn't been a Formula 1 game for a few years, as it last appeared exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and was developed by SCE Studio Liverpool. The licence has now been acquired by Codemasters, and Sumo Digital have been tasked with creating F1 2009 for the Nintendo Wii.
Everything is fully licenced in the game, with all of the teams appearing as well as all of the drivers and tracks. Even the newly created Yas Marina Circuit is included and it all helps to give the game an authentic feel. However, the game oddly comes out at the end of the season, whereas most sports-based titles come out towards the start of a season. It unfortunately means that the game is already out of date, as some drivers actually changed teams before the game was even released. With no updates available, it could be seen as a negative for some, but it doesn't affect the gameplay at all.
