Great video!!! very informative, I enjoyed it. Even made me laugh a little. "SHUTTUP" at the guy in the background lmfao. It's a shame you don't have more views, you deserve it, man.
I love this game, you crazy Forza fans talk alot of shit about this game when you havent even tried it, this game is SOOO much more intense and exiting then Forza. I love Forza, but the RACING part of the game, was predictable and a bit dry. SHIFT 2 has a fantastic well polished and very realistic cockpit view which really brings the game an amazing racing experience. At least try this game, If you play it through you will see that SHIFT 2 is has better racing then Forza and GT5
the problem isn't the unrealisitc physics, I mean shift 1 wasn't realisitc at all, it wasn't trying too hard to be a sim but it was an amazing game, I'm a sim gamer, I've had all gts and forza 3, and I enjoyed shift 1, but shift 2 is just diifferent, they tried to make it more realistic but they failed at it, and they ruined the whole experience, I bought it, I wasn't expecting sim level physics, I just wanted it to be just like shift, the problem is that it's just ridicoulous and frustrating
A lot of people seems to have opinion debates in here. Watch this show- Set up (preferably season 2) on Netflix or what ever other way then you might see how stupid some of your arguments are. Real driving is not an opinion is something that can be proven and can be achieved in a game if the right resource are used (REAL DRIVERS)
4.the inconcevible unbalancing of the ai (too easy to too hard to impossibly hard-no joke to wild animal..... nah scratch that just down right basterd beacuse the AI will drive into you as if your not even there. every time i pick up this game to play these problems come to mind and you know what.... i put it back down, i wona play a game for a reasnable challenge and most of all FUN! so...... i put in shift 1 ;)
as far as i am concerned this game has 4 main issues-problems-FUCK UPS! 1.SHITTY steering no matter what car your in there is a delay between steering and the car accually turning
For alol those that say that this franchise sucks, what racing game would you recommend for the PC, preferably a sim or game that allows a lot of customization of ones cars, and has a good social system in the sim too.
5:16 actually if you wanted to test pyhsics all you have to do is a track day in a stock car and compare it to the stock in-game. I mean you can even rent a Ferrari for like what just 2,000dollars for a day. Of course you better put some insurance down, but it wouldn't be that hard to do.
And about claiming it to be "The Most Realistic Racer Ever" even if it was better than Forza or GT(which it isn't). I know without a doubt it doesn't surpass iRacing.
im driving with all aids on except steering assist and brake assist, all my cars no matter how much twicking seem to have HUGE oversteer on straights even with little im put, this most of the time results in me spinning, ive custumized the controls best i can as well. Is there a way around this ????
@MegaBYSON not really the physics vary greatly from car to car some cars are just undrivable some feel good and having to tweak setups even on stock cars us just ridiculous Shift 2 fails where it needed to shine the Physics, customizing the controls can only get you so far but it can't cover up a rushed physics engine :/
this game has just three problems that just bring my piss 2 a boil. 1. shit racing line 2.crappy steering (with controller) 3. FUCKING ANNOYINGcontact physics
this game is great as a racer, good customization, only tree hits for me about it
1. i Only race with a wheel, (i did not pay $300 for it laying at my feet. the turning in this game is bad, i fell like i and understanding all the way to the right to make a lite corner at 60mph.
2. the drift physics are way off, i can only get good drifts with a controller, and i drift damn well in GT5, this is not drifting can at all.
3. minor i wish you could have the wheel and controller work at the same time
holy shit i thought this guy was just having a go at these 'ragers' for nothing, but omg look at all these faggots with their "omg nah this other game is way more realistic" and "EA are dicks", fuck all of you little 10 yearold knowitall fuckwits keep your mouths shut, you have no idea what a realistic racing game is like, your not a fucking racecar driver. and to vinny nice vid dude, u did well.
shift2 does suck: terrible graphics-small prints-no clarity- some races display the nitro bottle, some dont. look at shift1 and you decide, huge difference.
I do not like EA for the simple fact that they are very greedy. I mean they dont need an online code for every game. Maybe I want to rent it FIRST then buy it. Another thing wtf is with buying every car in the game before playing? you can pay 7 dollars to instantly have the 5 best cars in the game, or 10 dollars to have all the cars in the game, or 15 to have everything. Seriously? EA sucks, their games are good but they need to lighten up, dont they make enough money already?
only problem i have with this game is one thing and one thing only ....... the game has a mechanic were your tyrs are either cold or hot (yes this is a real feature if you didn know that dnt troll me i just came across it one day playing the game ) now they got the "warm tyrs have trraction cold ones dnt" what they didnt get was it takes more than 3 laps to warm them point and case ur racing on cold tyrs the whole time so u have no traction so u have to drive more carfully= lossing the race .
I have enjoyed the first Shift, and I really considering buying this game or GT5. I'm more into arcade style of playing like the first Shift has, but it seems like there aren't any big improvments in Shift 2 from the first one. What do you think I should buy?
everybody bitchin bout how bad this game is...i think its fun its a video game its played to escape reality not to be realistic...i have this game and forza 3...i like them both alot
Yup no realism in handling.I'm driving 825bhp e36 AND while I'm driving on straight flat road suddenly my left rear tire JUMPS and my car spins out.I have tuned it for straights mostly...And the AI is undoubtedly aggressive especially in the Loaner races.
Go play GT5, pick any cars that Top Gear has tested, drive the same car around their track a few times, you'll probably be within 1 second of the real life time. That's simulation. This game is arcade with some heavy marketing claiming it's simiulation.
@dalejrfan800 I put in over 100 laps on the TG test track in the game, so I would say it is realistic. In real life I probably would not take as much risk as the Stig, but in the game as long as you memorize the track, you will drive just as brave as a racing driver.
@awdrifter3 Guess I should clarify. "Sim" is a pretty loose word, so I guess if you mean time accuracy or perhaps even handling accuracy, GT5 does a good job at that. However, if you are considering realistic damage modeling, event setup, etc, GT5 is most certainly not a sim game. This isn't to say I dislike GT5 (it's a fun game) but I just don't consider it a sim after playing games where my engine is wrecked if I don't start my car correctly.
@Szeicheng I consider handling physics more important than damage modeling in a racing sim game. But I'll agree with you, GT5 has pretty bad damage modeling. Even at level 40 when the advanced damage model is unlocked, it's still underwhelming.
nice man i dig the review btw have you play GT and how do you like this game so far i played the 1st one but beat it in two days is this one longer and just as fun let me know thanks
you hit an opponent at 150mph and you don't even get crashed and you call that sim ?
and the rewinding hhh (guess that exists in real life)
and easy stearing isn't what make a game sim !
i find shift 2 realistic because when i see real life gt1/gt3 racing and especially what happens if someone hits another, shift 2 really got that frustration feeling (cause you're out of the fucking race !! ) it's a very very good thing in the game
Just because they manged to do semi realistic crashes, it doesn't mean that this game realistic. It has absolutly nothing to do with realism. The handling is completly wrong, it is not comparable to Forza or GT....i won't even start with Pc sims. This game is everything but realistic.
@meknassi666 Hmmm... someone has all the assists turned on. Forza is a sim game jeez I mean you can say how you feel about Shift 2 but you don't need to rag on Forza to get your point across
@meknassi666 They are trying to attract more players, if your don't like rewind dont use it, and if you hit someone doing 150 your car becomes disabled assuming you have simulation damage toggled on. The steering can also be toggled to simulation where it makes the vehicles handle significantly more realistically and brings out understeer and oversteer. I understand you are just voicing your opinion and I respect that, I'm not trying to start anything, I'm simply voicing mine.
By the way that last comment wasn't towards you Vinny, that was towards the developers who made a "simulator" for people to race their way up to GT1 and included nitro.
It definately sucks, and I even tried to give it a chance. I almost quit right away because the GTR you get at the start just understeered like a bitch.
I HAVE NO STEERING LAG. GO TO OPTIONS IN THE MAIN MENU AND GO TO GAMEPLAY SETTINGS. SO TO ADJUST CONTROLS AND PRESS R1. YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR STEERNG DEADZONE AND ALL SENSITIVITIES.
THUMB THIS UP SO PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE FUN PLAYING!
Great video, great review. Pretty well written. I have a question... do you slide all over the place even with all assists on like in the first one (where everytime you turned you'd skid) or not? Thanks.
turn off all assists and this game is amazing! no more shitty controls, no more cheap ass AI. heres a tip always go full throttle when starting a race FUCK the perfect launch!
EA made a mistake in this one. I think they used the AI from battlefield games.. Well at least that would explain why other drivers will try to kill you when they get the chance!!
Just got it yesterday, graphics and handling are not up to GT5's level but the career mode is better than GT5's. The AI will automatically tune their cars to your performance and they adapt to your speed in the race. If you take the lead they will be on your bumper for the rest of the race! A little fabricated competition but its still very fun.
You sounded very uneasy doing the review which got to me, flat toned like you were finding it hard to read the script. Try to sound more natural if you can. Otherwise a great review!
ok guy i'll totally with you.... but you have to admit the steering controls are waaaay tooo sensitive NOW having said that - i DONT care much if the driving physics are bad or not( i can adapt) .. but.. at least give me the option to decreased or increase the overall sensitivity so i can feel AND see a difference in car steering-(those of you who played part 1 know what i mean)
I hated the first game and did actually agree with the Forza/GT fan boys for once: the game handled like shit. But regardless of what anyone tells you this time, Shift 2 does handle a lot better and has moved closer to being an all out sim - a good thing IMO. The music is fucking awful though.
@HeetWav13 Listen, I'm a PC gamer so I don't even own Forza 3 or GT5 - I want this game to be just as good, but I keep hearing different ... are they wrong?
To me the term "simulation" is defined in the handling/driving physics - rewind feature or not. Get those right and I'm a happy bunny... you could stick a flashing Santa on the bonnet for all I care. Get the physics wrong though, and no matter how real the cars look or how great the tracks are, I just can't relax and enjoy the game.
I almost completely agree, but i think the game itself should be gud. If NFS made a game with the graphics of shift 2, the customisation of undercover, and the driving physics of GT5 or just any game where the cars DONT feel stupidly light and where the back end of the car doesnt kick out over nothing... then you'd have the best racing game ever on your hands.
@Lechit0202 Yet in real life, when driving on the limit... your back end CAN kick out over nothing ;)
Anyway ... I think you can only judge the realisticness of a game if you actually are a racing driver...
Driving fast means driving on the edge, which in it's turn means danger and a very fine, light line of crashing or nailing a turn.. give that a thought =)
Yes when driving on the limit it becomes extremely difficult (for most) to not crash and the back end can kick out quite easily. But on NFS shift 1 and 2 they make it so that on EVERY turn at ANY speed the back end will kick out and u don't have to a racer to see that all u need is a human brain =) This is why I think that NFS is slipping into the shitter because they no longer have customization of the cars and they dont have gud physics to fall bak on!?! Am I the only 1 to notice??
@nookie077 If you previously owned the old Need For Speed Shift, Shift Unleased 2 has better handeling chacrterists and physics. I am not sure if it is "exact", thus due to the fact I dont drift in parking lots and speed 90mph down a open road. I live in chicago, where the cops hate you if you jwalk in the middle of nowhere, so im not going to risk going even 10 mph over.
its just terrible!!!EA CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN FOR FUCKIN UP NFS...i cant take it anymore since nfs undercover NFS JUST SUCKED and im telling you im not a hatter...i mean like WTF?
The AI is totally Fucked up...no one would drive that aggressive, i just got freakouts because i need 5 restarts before i make it trough the first corner -.-
@oOcrazy95Oo The camera isn't SUPPOSE to look straight.... its the helmet cam buddy, real drivers look into there corners before they take them... So they implemented it into the game, making it more realistic ;3
@Jochski333 Some youtubers just shouldn't spread their ignorance. The game was made with the help of real life racers. Maybe they shouldn't play sims either.
@TeamXplosionTV ehem dont you think they were paid to say only good things? then again there is the possibility that their integrity is worth more than money. yeh? hmm
Good review ;-) The reason the you'll find yourself getting into first place to later get blown away (may) be partly due to the assists. However.., EA/SMS have coded the AI in Shift-2 to be adaptive. Adaptive AI can be a real problem in racing titles. Often it leads to the AI cars actually cheating to compete. It results in unrealistic cornering speeds, braking distances, and impossible acceleration speeds from the AI.
@squeakD To not mention the constant use by the AI of the infamous P.I.T. maneuvre. I got a lot of races spoiled by an opponent using my car's tail as a cornering or braking assist, which is really pityful considering how immersive, fast-paced and enjoyable the game is.
@squeakD is there any way to counter this? im having a real hard time to come in first. theres always 2 cars that i can never catch up no matter how hard i try!
You dont have to drive a race car at a race trackto know how a "car" should handle in real life. I drive a car every day to work, I know how a car should interact with the road and is physics. The basic feel and physics of a "CAR" is unamious through all vehicles, whether it be a GT500 race car or a toyota prius road car. So yea dont tell ppl they need to go to a race track ect.
@tekNiqueAU I would disagree. When you start changing things like suspension and tires, adding things like anti-roll bars The feel of the car becomes vastly different from anything you drive on the road everyday.
You can base your judgement on everyday drivin ur PRIUS.. A racing car is nowhere to it. But drive a normal car in Shift 2 and I think you'll find it rather realistic.
Good honest review fella, i like my racing sims be it Forza or GT5, but shift fits nicely in the middle of sim/arcade. Might chance a purchase, plus i enjoyed the first one.
@verdery0 because most of peeps are like "me me me... my game my game...." ,they cant see things in other perspective it is AALLLL about them. If they think game sucks then (in their mind) nobody can like it. SIMPLE :S
@TheSeventiethSeven I have played GTR, actually. Like I said, the only way to know what a simulator feels like to to physically drive the car in real life. Otherwise you really don't know which game is actually the most realistic.
You don't have to drive the same car in real life to know if it's realistic or not, how come when I play GTR2 or rFactor it feels realistic, but when I play Shift 2 it doesn't?
PS. Loving how in the video you instantly defend your self from all types of comments.
SHIFT 2 + Some various mods like Polish Tyre Mod, etc = Best Sim Racing Game

Just because they manged to do semi realistic crashes, it doesn't mean that this game realistic. It has absolutly nothing to do with realism. The handling is completly wrong, it is not comparable to Forza or GT....i won't even start with Pc sims. This game is everything but realistic.

@meknassi666 Hmmm... someone has all the assists turned on. Forza is a sim game jeez I mean you can say how you feel about Shift 2 but you don't need to rag on Forza to get your point across
Trogdor12221 5 months ago
@meknassi666 They are trying to attract more players, if your don't like rewind dont use it, and if you hit someone doing 150 your car becomes disabled assuming you have simulation damage toggled on. The steering can also be toggled to simulation where it makes the vehicles handle significantly more realistically and brings out understeer and oversteer. I understand you are just voicing your opinion and I respect that, I'm not trying to start anything, I'm simply voicing mine.

By the way that last comment wasn't towards you Vinny, that was towards the developers who made a "simulator" for people to race their way up to GT1 and included nitro.

Great video, great review. Pretty well written. I have a question... do you slide all over the place even with all assists on like in the first one (where everytime you turned you'd skid) or not? Thanks.

ExZacklyMoDz 10 months ago
Just got it yesterday, graphics and handling are not up to GT5's level but the career mode is better than GT5's. The AI will automatically tune their cars to your performance and they adapt to your speed in the race. If you take the lead they will be on your bumper for the rest of the race! A little fabricated competition but its still very fun.

ok guy i'll totally with you.... but you have to admit the steering controls are waaaay tooo sensitive NOW having said that - i DONT care much if the driving physics are bad or not( i can adapt) .. but.. at least give me the option to decreased or increase the overall sensitivity so i can feel AND see a difference in car steering-(those of you who played part 1 know what i mean)
ripmowt 10 months ago
I hated the first game and did actually agree with the Forza/GT fan boys for once: the game handled like shit. But regardless of what anyone tells you this time, Shift 2 does handle a lot better and has moved closer to being an all out sim - a good thing IMO. The music is fucking awful though.
nookie077 10 months ago
@nookie077 If you call Forza 3 a simulation, then please tell me where the rewind button is in real life, I have been searching everywhere for it.
HeetWav13 10 months ago
@HeetWav13 Listen, I'm a PC gamer so I don't even own Forza 3 or GT5 - I want this game to be just as good, but I keep hearing different ... are they wrong?
To me the term "simulation" is defined in the handling/driving physics - rewind feature or not. Get those right and I'm a happy bunny... you could stick a flashing Santa on the bonnet for all I care. Get the physics wrong though, and no matter how real the cars look or how great the tracks are, I just can't relax and enjoy the game.
nookie077 10 months ago
@nookie077
I almost completely agree, but i think the game itself should be gud. If NFS made a game with the graphics of shift 2, the customisation of undercover, and the driving physics of GT5 or just any game where the cars DONT feel stupidly light and where the back end of the car doesnt kick out over nothing... then you'd have the best racing game ever on your hands.
Lechit0202 10 months ago
@Lechit0202 Yet in real life, when driving on the limit... your back end CAN kick out over nothing ;)
Anyway ... I think you can only judge the realisticness of a game if you actually are a racing driver...
Driving fast means driving on the edge, which in it's turn means danger and a very fine, light line of crashing or nailing a turn.. give that a thought =)
Joost4e4 10 months ago
@Joost4e4
Yes when driving on the limit it becomes extremely difficult (for most) to not crash and the back end can kick out quite easily. But on NFS shift 1 and 2 they make it so that on EVERY turn at ANY speed the back end will kick out and u don't have to a racer to see that all u need is a human brain =) This is why I think that NFS is slipping into the shitter because they no longer have customization of the cars and they dont have gud physics to fall bak on!?! Am I the only 1 to notice??
Lechit0202 9 months ago
@nookie077 If you previously owned the old Need For Speed Shift, Shift Unleased 2 has better handeling chacrterists and physics. I am not sure if it is "exact", thus due to the fact I dont drift in parking lots and speed 90mph down a open road. I live in chicago, where the cops hate you if you jwalk in the middle of nowhere, so im not going to risk going even 10 mph over.

MegaBYSON 11 months ago
Good review ;-) The reason the you'll find yourself getting into first place to later get blown away (may) be partly due to the assists. However.., EA/SMS have coded the AI in Shift-2 to be adaptive. Adaptive AI can be a real problem in racing titles. Often it leads to the AI cars actually cheating to compete. It results in unrealistic cornering speeds, braking distances, and impossible acceleration speeds from the AI.
squeakD 11 months ago 6
@squeakD I've noticed this alot. I either have to strive to stay in first place from the start, or hope that the AI crashes later.
TeamXplosionTV 11 months ago
@squeakD To not mention the constant use by the AI of the infamous P.I.T. maneuvre. I got a lot of races spoiled by an opponent using my car's tail as a cornering or braking assist, which is really pityful considering how immersive, fast-paced and enjoyable the game is.

indygangster 10 months ago
You dont have to drive a race car at a race trackto know how a "car" should handle in real life. I drive a car every day to work, I know how a car should interact with the road and is physics. The basic feel and physics of a "CAR" is unamious through all vehicles, whether it be a GT500 race car or a toyota prius road car. So yea dont tell ppl they need to go to a race track ect.
tekNiqueAU 11 months ago
@tekNiqueAU I would disagree. When you start changing things like suspension and tires, adding things like anti-roll bars The feel of the car becomes vastly different from anything you drive on the road everyday.
Swidhelm 11 months ago
You can base your judgement on everyday drivin ur PRIUS.. A racing car is nowhere to it. But drive a normal car in Shift 2 and I think you'll find it rather realistic.

*Plays NFS - Shift 2*
Hmm... That guy who told me this is a Simulator hasn't play rFactor or GTR, has he...
TheSeventiethSeven 11 months ago
@TheSeventiethSeven I have played GTR, actually. Like I said, the only way to know what a simulator feels like to to physically drive the car in real life. Otherwise you really don't know which game is actually the most realistic.
TeamXplosionTV 11 months ago 4
@TeamXplosionTV That's ridiculous.
You don't have to drive the same car in real life to know if it's realistic or not, how come when I play GTR2 or rFactor it feels realistic, but when I play Shift 2 it doesn't?
