Free-to-play F1 arrives from Codemasters on iOS.
Codemasters recently announced that a new free-to-play world of Formula 1 fun has launched as F1 Race Stars races onto iPad, iPhones and iPod touch. F1 Race Stars is a visually stunning, fully-featured arcade racing game that brings console quality gameplay, graphics and depth to iOS.
F1 Race Stars is fully optimised for Apple’s latest A7 chip powered devices, and is compatible with iOS game controllers. It is the first mobile title developed using the next generation of Codemasters’ proprietary EGO Game Technology Platform, which will span development from smart devices and the latest consoles to high-end PC titles.
From Codemasters, the home of multi-million selling, award-winning Formula 1 videogames, F1 Race Stars is officially licensed to feature all the cars, teams and drivers from the 2013 Fia Formula One World Championship as never seen before on iOS. Players can take on over 40 super-charged tracks from 15 Formula 1 Grand Prix locations across the world. Each has been designed for quick-fire portable gaming and features jumps, shortcuts, and a range of awesome power-ups, including Wet Weather, Homing Bubbles, Safety Car and many more.
Using touch or tilt controls, handling is accessible, fast and fun – players can build boost by using a powerslide mechanic around corners and then slingshot up the track, use slipstream to haul in their rivals and race across boost pads to speed through the pack.
F1 Race Stars features a deep, content-rich single-player game, including five different game modes. Gamers can compete against Formula One drivers, including Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, or race as a fantasy driver – each with their own unique special abilities – including Robot, Ninja, Secret Agent and many more. Players can also collect and combine hundreds of upgrades to improve and customise their on-track performance. The single player game is further extended with local multiplayer racing available via Bluetooth for two-players and over WiFi for up to four players.
F1 Race Stars is available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and is engineered to work with iPad 2 or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPod Touch (5th Generation).
