F1 Race Stars

Positive or negative role models do not really factor into F1 Race Stars; however, players can set their own standards for racing and in that regard their actions are driving their own concept of being a role model. Players can either bang and bump other players into walls or obstacles or choose to drive clean, use power-ups to boost speed, and not hinder other racers.

F1 Race Stars does allow players to use their vehicle to bang into other drivers, which in turn may require repairs, but all the violence is cartoonish and does not result in harm to the drivers or the vehicles beyond simply driving through the pit stop for repairs. The violence is more along the lines of mischief than it is violence. Players may see cartoonish plumes of smoke.

The online component of F1 Race Stars asks players to register on the Codemasters website, but besides that, and some publisher tags in the game environments, the game is relatively clear of commercial product placement. There are items (like additional tracks) that can be purchased from within the game, but these are not necessary to enjoy what is in the game already.
