VIDEO: 50 crashes in F1 2010

Poetry in deliciously destructive motion

Words: Justin Towell on September 20, 2010

Never mind the sublime car handling. Never mind the amazing AI. You want to see how good the crashes are in F1 2010. So here they are: 50 spectacular smash-ups taken from the Xbox 360 version of the game. It's out this Friday and I highly recommend you pick a copy up and give it the love and attention it deserves. After all, this is what you've got to look forward to...

Not read the review yet? Take a look and then set aside a pile of your finest money because you're going to need it this Friday. Me? I can't stop playing the damn thing, it's like Christmas came three months early.

This does look great but it's out on the same day of dead rising 2, so that dead rising 2 gets my money

Actually there already is a Burnout Paradise crash video on the site. So yes, good idea! :)

some of the crashes were a bit pap, but some excellent flips and enjoyable slow mo would like to see something like this done again on other games perhaps Burnout being the obvious choice, maybe cut t down to 15 or 20 though as some were admittedly just scrapes

whilst i absolutely cant wait to play this game... i found some bits of the video annoying. well, one bit. Did anyone else notice how the cars didnt recognise fuselage? if you look at 1:51, the bits flying off just seem to pass right through the car as if they weren't there....

@ alanpartridge_ahaaa If they implemented that level of physics it probably wouldn't run on 360 or ps3. Obviously there are probably ways to fake it, but that takes time and know how, and more money if you're lacking in either department, let alone both.

boy, this is SO tasty. here's a question though, i have a Logitech driving force GT that i bought for prologue (and eventually gt5). Any idea if its going to be as much of the business on this as it is in gran turismo? I mostly assume it will be but i was wondering if you have any definitive word one way or the other.

I'm very surprised how good those crashes look, I wasn't expecting full on aerobatics.

You aren't allowed to take TV footage and claim that it's a game!
