Random footage from the PC version of Codemasters' F1 2013.

In its fourth iteration, Codemasters' F1 series has slowly become, thanks to the added tweaks and features over the years, the best F1 game series I have ever played. But, no matter how much I like the games, that doesn't give Codemasters an excuse to become lazy just because there is no rival F1 game on the market. It also doesn't excuse them with, essentially, cock-teasing fans with the limited classic mode, and then slapping on a £10 charge to gain more features for it. It's a fantastic addition, one that makes me so happy it is here, and it had the potential to single-handedly break F1 2013 from feeling similar with yearly iterations. Sadly, that isn't the case -- so much more could be done with the legacy of F1 that it feels handicapped in its current form.

With the changes to F1 happening next season and the introduction of new consoles, here's hoping that Codemasters are willing to flesh out Classic mode with more content, while adapting to the new season and hardware with changes that will spring life into the series. As it stands, F1 2013 is a great, but familiar racer, that samples a fraction of the sport's history, but as a game, you'll only need it if you're a diehard fan of the motorsport.
