Even on the dedicated Underground 2-style drifting tracks it's not fun even if you get very high scores. Which is dissapointing, given that Need For Speed should be good at this. Drifting, whilst difficult to master relative to other games (Forza 3's is so much easier with all assists off than this), there is no satisfaction or fun to be had.
Sure, the lighting effects are outstanding for any racing game, but the textures on the vehicles are extremely low-res and grainy however this may be due to the Xbox 360's highly outdated hardware. The reason I can't rate this game highly is not just the lack of additions from Shift, but because there are some things it has got wrong. Corner mastering has been greatly improved, and customisation in terms of visuals and both upgrades & tuning has been deepened to Forza standard. All that's been added is night-time racing really. Car choice is pretty generic, and gameplay and tracks are same as the first Shift- but you get an even bigger choice of tracks. It's the same game but without the stars system and different menus.
But aside from that, the improvements on Shift 1 are merely in presantation than in real substance.
#SHIFT USED CARS REVIEWS MANUAL#
I play all my racers with no assits and manual where possible, and this game is fairly realistic- more so than Forza in my opinion. All these people saying how it's no Forza are clearly using assists. Shift 2 improves on the first game by adding to that sheer awesomeness of speed when in interior view, and without a doubt no game comes closer to making driving feel more real. On the one hand you get the most engaging and realistic driving experience through helmet cam and Elite handling mode, which is aided by the ability to have manual with clutch and you can now fully change controls instead of being stuck with one default layout.
