8.5Â | Presentation Codemasters' typical slick presentation is only let down by its in-game HUD. |
|
9.0Â | Graphics F1 2010 can frequently look stunning, and its real achievement is injecting some character into its depiction of the sport. |
|
8.5Â | Sound The engine sounds are suitably ferocious - but elsewhere it's a forgettable soundtrack and some phoned-in performances from your engineer and the press. |

8.5Â | Gameplay The driving is as good as it's ever been for an F1 game, and likewise the racing is tight and fair. |
|
8.5Â | Lasting Appeal The career mode has a noble crack but it ultimately falls flat, and the multiplayer options are adequate if not exciting - but the 19 tracks offer a lot of game time. |
