F1 2016 for Android
Good game, controls really good but really buggy. Can take a minute to pit sometimes due to other cars crashing and what is going on with the safety car? It crashed and I was disqualified for parking in a dangerous place????????. Also no rear damage to car is possible but touch the front and you are essentially out of the race. It is a good game but needs more work.
Really like to give the game a 5-star rating, but there are a couple drawbacks found: First, there are delays in braking and accelerating. Not really sure if it's because the device I'm using, but for comparison, Real Racing 3 gives more intuitiveness than this. Secondly, no replay is a massive disappointment for me. Otherwise, I love how the steering works. I love how well it's running on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon. I enjoy it a lot.
The sound is fairly inconsistent with many breakups in-between (including engine noise/commentary). Additionally, the steering tends to not respond at times. So would appreciate if you can sort these minor issues out. H send issues are hindering the experience and the game is not as enjoyable.
Little bit laggy on s7 edge. Ive closed all other apps and done a clean out in the device maintenance. And turned my phone off an on again. Little better but still laggy. Controls are not smooth. There seems to be some dead zones in the steering. Car breaks quite hard when not on the accelerator, and thats when useing tilt with duel pedals. Bluetooth controller support needs to be added. I use a xbox one pad. Please please add the support for this game. Thanks guys
This is a mobile game and not a console game. The graphics are good, actually really a beautiful game. Controls are....kind of terrible. I have all assist off and it still brakes on its on in every corner. Turn the sound up and you can hear the engine go quiet in each corner with the brakes on. Again cell phones are not as powerful as consoles so it will not be perfect. It does help cover for f1 2016 on console while I am away from it though.
The game is fun. For the next F1 Mobile game, there should be an harder ai difficulty. Very Hard difficulty is not hard enough. There should also be a virtual safety car. During the Safety Car period, we should be able to drive during the period. The game goes straight to the end of the safety car period and the AI are a lap down. Before we enter pit lane we should be able to slow down, not have the game slow down for you. When you leave pit lane, we should be able to drive at full speed. Not have the game make the car come to a complete stop or slow down until you get to the end of the pit lane line. There should be a better damage model. Like losing your tyre or sidepot damage. The AI cars have very poor texture when their on the grid and when there driving. Including the safety car. Tjey look like plastic. But when you get close they look like the actual race car. That has to be improved.
The game lags horribly due a poorly implemented graphics engine. The sound cuts are also quite annoying. A 2016 game should run flawlessly in a brand new Mi A1 imho. This game is not even supported in my old Nexus 5, unlike other games that despite being older have much better graphics and controls. Better graphics engine -> more devices -> more profit
I love f1 and saw my friend play this game on ios on a phone older than mine i saw how good the graphics looked on his phone and bought this game. However the graphics are way worse on my phone. Codies make great games and i know they can fix this.
Considering its a paid app it horrible to find so many bugs, biggest I found is sound, ni audio most of the time. But it's still fun to drive.
So there is 2 problems: 1: no controller support.. like it would kill the Devs to map gas and break to whatever.. then I'd love with gyro for steering.. so sad. 2: difficulty settings are terrible. On medium i beat everyone with shittiest car, on hard i can't be better than last. PS4 version has this issue too. So annoying. There is no enjoyable challenge. Otherwise it's a decent game without multiplayer options.
The AI is far too easy. On a 50% race in Russia, I broke my front wing 3 times, started 17th on the grid yet I managed to win and lap everyone twice (apart from a couple of front runners) despite using very hard difficulty and being Esteban Gutierrez. The AI keep moving around on the straights (especially in Russia) which causes them to have a shocking straight line speed and makes racing them far too easy
It's a good game but.... What's happening with the lag and bad quality sound!? (only on Bluetooth) I'm bit disappointed ????
Where the hell is calibration option. The touch steering is unusable. The tilt control keeps making my car go left even when held perfectly horizontal. I have tried so many calibration apps but none of them work for this app. Most other games where tilt control is needed have inbuilt calibration. App being a paid one should not lack basic things. I hope the 2017 version has some options.
Cars, tracks and players are so realistic u simply love this game. Needs lots of concentration to play professional level. This game is well suited for college students or for those who are at home most of the day. This game remembered me of F1 game that I played in my college days on pc..It was way old F1 2005 ???????? were Takuma Sato was driving Honda. Still I have found that in this game driving in rain is missing all are dry weather tracks... But still it's so realistic. Loved this game. Played in Redmi NOTE 4... No hangs or lags... Butter smooth controls
Wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is, given some of the reviews. On a Samsung S7 Edge it plays great, smooth running and looks brilliant. I'm using the game without any external controllers and it plays well with tilt to steer. Plenty of driving aids can be turned on or off to make it easier or harder. The sound of the car does occasionally quieten (not disappear altogether) but comes back fairly quickly. Other than that minor quirk, no complaints. Great game.
It's a codemasters game that's more than sufficient to describe. But still the controls!? There should be one more setup where the ACCELERATE is AUTO TURN is by touching the respective side of the screen(left for left and right for right) BRAKING should be at the TOP EDGES or the BRAKING should be AUTO for VERY EASY SET UP . Here the main concern is the TURNING. Please do something. Plus after every session the game is not responding. Again and again I need to force close the game and replay the level to clear it. And after clearing that level, the next level again freezes after showing the results screen.
Highly addictive game, RR3 isn't a comparison as codemasters have given the feel of a F1 car as opposed to a road car sim. Would rate it higher stars once the friend connection is launched on droid and we can challenge friends on time and weekly events. Replay would be a nice addition or at least a option to view and look around the cars in detail in a gallery mode or something like that.
Those who are familiar with forecaster f1 gameplay are definitely will easily adopt the gameplay very easily. Fantastic game, same what I use to play on desktop. I am enjoying exact same thrill here on mobile game. Very smooth running on my samsung galaxy s7. No not need desktop to play this game. Requesting codemaster please also provide carrier mode in this game as we had in desktop. Otherwise nothing to say .....thanks so much. I recommend f1 lovers will really enjoy it lot. Five stars from me for make all possible to developing such innovative android next generation game.
Not sure why this has such a low score. Controls are fine and have many different assists to provide smooth play under mobile. Minor quirks include lack of gamepad options (from what I can tell), no 60 fps, and no Toronto track. Still highly recommend.
For $2 can you really complain? Honestly, just turn off all of the assits (as they are heavy even with them on a low setting) and turn steering sensitivity to the maximum for a more in-line experience. For $2 alone, being able to race on 21 F1 tracks is more than enough value and even so, this game offers more than just that. This is as official as you're going to get for a mobile phone experience.
It's a really good game.... Although your expectations aren't met....I was hoping to have a game, where I start right at the pit, showing everyone working, and then u moving out to the track.... But none of that... Only a flying lap or a grid start... If at all there could be that pit start, the game would be a bomb... ????????????
Excellent! It's pretty much exactly what I expected. It took a couple mins to figure out how to turn off the assists and it takes a little finagle to get the camera tilt and steering to get a good feel for the car. I wish you could create your own driver and customize the hud like in the console version and the sound of the engine cuts out sometimes among other bugs. This is a great first attempt and I've been waiting years for an official Mobile F1 Game!!! (Galaxy S8+) 5 STARS FOR EFFORT
refund request please. played for on the train but couldn't download until I got home due to no signal. tried to get a refund but only option for uninstall. the game controls are none linear and the steering needs a silly amount of lock. car set up is very limited and lacking. overall this game should be free until this is sorted.
When other cars are far away their tyres dont look like how they should and the car will look not look as real as when you are near. Anyway it is a wonderful game. But you could improve on the part i stated above and pls add wet tyres and weather change. Great game anyways
What are u thinking charging for this game. I love and have all the f1 games and this sucks. So many irritating problems. Major problem is the steering controls disappearing when going round a corner. Other cars not reacting properly. I mean seriously I have played free games that are so much better. The only good thing about this game is how good the tracks are. Apart from that this is shite
It's a fun port for sure. It looks great. The controls lack smoothness which is essential for the driving style required. Steering feels jerky and uneven. The hair pin at Monaco has me looking like I'm playing Twister... This game will need updates to smooth its rough edges but I'll be happy to give it some time. Feels a bit like a beta version at present.
I like the game and I am a huge F1 Fan. Should do something about the sound that keeps cutting off. The game would be better if I can have more options for car set up.
I like it but need to improve some control in Monaco ???????? and last finish celebration pit tyre changing. This all we looking cause it's really pretty good one compar to other f1 game it's really good but not cool. It's always struck while playing I'm so much irritated. Hence improve it or refund my money
For a mobile game this is the absolute best F1 game! The controls are a bit messy, they are not as concise as the PS4 game. But again it is a mobile game so that wasn't a huge surprise. It is the same for the graphics. If you're like me and can't get enough of F1 this is a great game for mobile though.
This game AI turn the race into a demolition derby everytime.. makes normal racing completely unplayable. Also AI difficulty in quali compared to race is such a giant difference. Great game with a lot of potential, but this is just a shame...
No controller support - using analog triggers for gas/brakes and analog stick for steering would be nice (although it can be set up with the game mapper on an nVidia Shield). Career mode would also be nice. No different camera modes. No multiplayer support.
Could be a fantastic game if there was more choice of controls - tilt and the steering wheel don't suit me personally. Need arrows each side and it'd be a 5 star all round. Disappointed!
Graphics need to be upped a bit. Also, a bit more functionality would be appreciated. Like more tinkering with the car settings in terms of aero and the like. And realistic practice and qualifying sessions. Also please the skip in AI difficulty from medium to high should be slightly more modest. Finally, you could introduce a career mode of sorts where the level of AI difficulty grows with the longer you play. That should be all.
Controls are so monumentally awful that this is a total waste of time. I just don't understand how a team like Codemasters, who make f1 games for console and p.c, could let such abysmal controls through quality testing and actually release it. With decent controls this has promised...but it doesn't. I'm an f1 fan and I got an immediate refund. Avoid like the plague.
Sound goes away after a while and even though it comes back, it gets annoying. Other than that, the game is quite good. Hope there's a F1 2018 version coming. game
Don't waste your money, it sucks. The controls are so awful it makes you sick, no feel what so ever. I can not imagine why its not free and even if it was i would not bother. Shame on you Codemasters, shame on you.
After my first playing session: The graphics are very choppy at high speeds. The gameplay is pretty lackluster. And the controls don't feel like they make a lot of sense. I gave it 3 stars overall because it's still fun, but it could be a lot better.
Graphics should have been better. ???? Sound & game play cut off when driving at high speed at every track.???? There are very less game controls compare to other FREE premium game. ???? Driveability is worst in Monaco track, not sure if it is due to track layout. Should have been better. ???? You are missing very key part of the game, WET RACE. Why there is no WET race ? You should have given an option to choose, at least ????
Bad graphics, low frame rates and less options. Compare this F1 2016 game to (1). Real Racing 3, (2). Assoluto Racing, (3). Real Drift, (4). CarX Drift Racing, (5). FX-Racer Unlimited, (6) SBK 16 and SBK 15. Low frame rate. Your game is paid version, just need to update. Scuderia Ferrari car cockpit camera view is looking good, other cars are looking bad. Please add camera options. I want to rate the graphics less than 1.

Graphics, cars and sound is good. Map also quite realistic. Quite different from other racing car game. After every matches and if position is in top 3, it will be better and more realistic if it shows the award presentation on stage. So far i like it alot.
