F1 2015 Game - Worth the money?

Game seem the most expensive at the grand sum of fiddy pounds for the XB1 version with argos, amazon etc all pricing it at a little over forty, so by no means cheap, but is it worth it?

From what I read there was no season mode, instead I've now watched videos where it seems there's a championship season that had two modes, the typical career mode and then a pro mode where it's about as accurate to the real thing as possible, if that's your thing. On top of that there's no safety car, rubbish crash damage, and apparently it's full of bugs, well done codies Thumbs Up

XB1 apparently has the worst detail out of all three console choices, but I'm sure that ad get tweaked in updates.

So, anyone actually own it and not want to get a refund like 99% of people seem to want to do thus far?

It's not looking too good to be fair. Everytime Codemasters releases an F1 game it's buggy as hell and a complete let down. Best off getting Project Cars and wait until after 2016 when Codies lose the F1 licence and a competent developer comes along. It's crazy but i still think one of the best F1 games was F1 97 on the Playstation Shocked

There are comments that the first in the series on the next generation consoles is always going to be the dummy run before re-implanting old features on the 2016 version of which makes sense, but the bugs that I'm seeing are just ridiculous. No voice commands on PC version and an unplayable online experience across all platforms, I spent a day wanting to click "buy now" but then every time I'd watch a video on it I'd close the link.

No safety car, no track limits, very little damage, all negatives.

The graphics look good from what I can see but there's a clear difference between XB1 and PS4 (PS4 being the stronger) and well the PC version depends on users machine so isn't all that comparable, no way is it worth £40-50 in its current state, see if the price comes down or patches are released.

Disappointing, was looking forward to that Thumbs Down

*Awaits a single game worth buying for XB1*

A friend of mine bought it, loved it for the first 2 days then told me it's getting a bit repetitive. Think I'll give it a miss.
