Codemasters and Sumo Digital F1 racing adapted to Wii. Official 2009 roster, assisted handling, local multi. A Wii console-only release at the time, fun for casual F1 fans but clearly behind the more demanding HD versions.

Description
Official Formula 1 simulation developed by Codemasters and published in Japan in November 2009. All 2009 season drivers and circuits with Brawn GP, Red Bull and Ferrari competing for the championship. Wiimote steering wheel simulation for corners, career and championship modes, realistic damage and dynamic weather. First official F1 on Wii carrying on the Codemasters franchise for motorsport fans.
A Wii adaptation of the Formula 1 championship by Sumo Digital, F1 2009 offers the official season with its teams and drivers, in a deliberately accessible approach with a cartoonish look. The assisted driving, the career mode and multiplayer make it a likeable gateway for a broad audience. The simplified modelling, the lack of deep simulation and a modest production disappoint purists. A title for casual Formula 1 fans and Wii players after family racing.
