Glad you enjoyed it, the story in 23 I think you will enjoy more. Did you play the story mode in grid legends from last year? Also on game pass right now.Alex79 wrote: ↑July 8th, 2023, 5:25 pmJUL - F1 2021: Braking Point (Xbox)Alex79 wrote: ↑January 14th, 2023, 12:34 amJAN - Red Dead Redemption 2: Arthur's Story (Xbox)

I've not really played an F1 game since the first one on the PS1 which blew me away at the time with it's 'TV broadcast quality' visuals (and prompted me to buy a PlayStation) but Kurt is always talking about the F1 games and I heard there was a story mode so thought I'd give this a try.
The story is the exact same story that features in every sports game: rookie + bad guy x rivalry = victory. It's so bland and formulaic that it might as well not be there, but it's a good job it is otherwise I wouldn't have played the game. It served as an inoffensive enough wrapper for what was a pretty decent racing game. I enjoyed playing it. The story continues in F1 2023 so I'll be interested to try that one when it comes to Gamepass, and I imagine it'll look nicer too since this game was for Xbox One but the new one is specifically for this gen. Overall, fun racing game but not one I'd play for hours and hours like I would Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport. I just find F1, by it's very nature, to be quite repetitive and with not much variety since all the cars are basically the same. But with a focused story mode to get 8 or 9 hours of play out of them - perfect.
Afraid to tell you though that 23 is also on last gen, although they have made some slight graphical improvements anyway since 21. 23 also has a mode called F1 world which is like a CarPG with you unlocking new parts to upgrade your car and boosters to increase stats temporarily on certain tracks or after a pit stop as examples.
