Written by SgtDigglesworth on 14 July 12 at 13:02

Codemasters are no stranger to racing games, having developed such games as DiRT 3, F1 2011, and DiRT Showdown, one could say they like to develop games that involve going fast. They recently announced a new game to their F1 line-up entitled F1 Race Stars.

RaceStars July 13th


F1 Race Stars is all about gaining speed to a different gear, an arcade style racing game for gamers of all ages, that features all of the F1 cars, teams and circuits, but with an over the top approach. These screenshots will give you an idea of what to expect when you start up your engine.

F1 Race Stars will allow gamers to blaze through courses using power-ups, take the role of drivers such as, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, or Sebastian Vettel, and drive on such iconic circuits including, Monaco, Silverstone, and the Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas. You can also play 4-player races via split-screen, 12 player competitive modes, and engage in an extensive career mode.



Chris Gray, Senior Producer, F1 Race Stars, had this to say regarding Codemasters fun new race title:

“We’re really excited to bring the whole cast of FORMULA ONE into a fun new world of racing. We’ve really let our Art and Design teams off the leash to bring F1 stars’ personalities alive in a new way and create a game where racing fans of all ages can jump into all-action solo, split-screen and online multiplayer races. It’s the game we’ve wanted to create for a long time and, building on our strong relationship with Formula One Management Limited, we’re now able to bring Codemasters’ long-standing expertise in track design and AI to create a FORMULA ONE racing experience quite unlike any other.”You can race to the finish line this November when F1 Race Stars is released.

Looks great! The faces are a bit creepy, but otherwise, definitely looking forward to this one... although it'll be pricey if this retails for full price after buying F1 2012 around the same time...

I agree but Microsoft love that banner so they use it when ever they can,
I just hope this game stays 100 percent controller

I thought this would be dreadful until the end of the video, then thought, might not be too bad. Can only be an arcade release, no-one will spend 40 notes on this.

Had a look on ShopTo and you can pre-order it for £35, so it is a full retail release!

I saw the pictures and they looked pretty simple and conventional, until I saw the last one--then I just burst out laughing.

I'm hoping against hope that it's an Arcade game too. And maybe I can use my avatar instead of those creepy things.
