Techgage posted a look at Codemasters' F1 Race Stars for the PC
As a fan of both kart racing video games and Formula 1, it felt like a dream come true when Codemasters announced F1 Race Stars. It features real drivers, tracks loosely based on their real-world counterpart, and unlike the games from the developer’s flagship F1 series, it aims to be as unrealistic as possible.F1 Race Stars Review
If by the screenshots you think of Mario Kart, you’re not alone. However, the overall design and execution of the game feels a lot more like a Sega title to me, down to the graphics and audio – but this is where the similarities end. For better or worse, F1 Race Stars offers unique mechanics to the kart racing formula, which I’ll touch on in a bit.
The audience for F1 Race Stars will be split into two categories. There will be those who love the F1 sport and want to race through a reimagining of it, and then there will be those who simply like kart racing games and happen to find this one interesting enough to pick up. You don’t have to care about Formula 1 as a sport to enjoy F1 Race Stars, but if you do, you’ll be treated to recognizable landmarks and of course, the cars themselves.
