There comes a time where everyone feels the need for a little more excitement in their life, a little more danger. For me extreme sports are where I get my kicks, and nothing is more extreme than the high-speed and precision of Formula One. Lucky for me Codemasters have just released F1 2012, and at the touch of a button I can be in control of my very own powerfully tuned behemoth. That settles that then.
Being a fan of Formula One and wanting to play a F1 game are two entirely different things. In my opinion the games that I have seen in the past haven’t delivered the excitement and tension I get when watching the races on TV, and don’t convey the same feel of complete precision and total control that the drivers have over their extremely powerful cars. That is until now.
Codemasters F1 2012 demo is out today for all Xbox 360 owners, and I for one can’t wait to try it out. The game is set to be the most realistic of the series with a host of new attributes that feature in the real world of Formula 1.
It might be tricky for anyone keen to glance at the currently unfinished Circuit of Americas track, due for it’s maiden race in November of this year.

Hit the jump to see the full track.
