F1 2011 Be the Driver Single Player
There’s little difference in the actual driving between the multiplayer and the single player, aside from the quality of the driving and adherence to racing lines. So there’s no sense in talking about it because Codemasters are the leaders in F1 racing gaming experience. There’s very little, if anything, wrong with the physics and the racing. Sometimes it feels a bit weird but it could just be the older steering wheel I was using as it is a bit dated so I am not holding it against the game.
In fact, even driving with a standard DualShock controller was satisfying. No, it’s not ideal, but it could be done and that says something as I am not so much a fan of driving games with sticks instead of steering wheels.
Overall, the driving feels much improved. I’m no pro F1 racer so I have to use some of the driving assists but I’m somewhere between the second and third levels of difficulty. It’s just that I haven’t got the time to sit and play F1 games as much as I’d like and of course it’s all about practice and getting to know the courses, the turns, the speeds and gears and the car. 
This is where F1 2011 really excels all around. It gives you a fairly realistic feel for F1 racing, without the G-forces and danger that you would face if you were to actually be a novice and racing the world’s most famous tracks at 190mph.
Overall, F1 2011 is definitely better than the previous version and the added modes and expanded Be a Driver are good additions. If LAN and split screen could also do co-op championship it would be ideal. Of course, they’ve got to always leave something to shoot for in the next iteration of the series, right?
As I said, the game offers multiple difficulty levels for the novice to start learning all the way through to those who have mastered the fine art of F1 video game racing and want that realistic feel. You just have to find the right settings that work for you.
