If its anything like Shift, itll be crap, the physics in that were rotten. If not, well, guess they just about got to the level of Forza 3 over a year after. Whats the hoohaa? It would be nice if its any good but I wont be holding my breath with the NFS link. I suspenct F1 2010 and Forza 3 will be staying in my xbox a bit longer but it would be nice to be proved wrong  :smiley:.

They've totally nailed engine noise which is always the one thing I find disappointing in car games:

Well tempted to get this and not bought a new game since Blops.

Just watching the trailers makes me think it is going to be equally as arcade like as Shift 1, hope not though.

The reviews say that the handling is "twitchy" like Shift 1. Not as bad, but still not a GT or Forza beater handling wise.

It got a 8.5/10

Anyone who has driven a real race car will tell you they're twitchy as hell. I've always found the handling in Forza and GT more so to be pretty numb.


F1 2010 has the best handling of any game I've played so far with RacePro not far behind.

In my opinion this is the best Need for speed game so far. There is so much you can do to the cars the handling is very realistic and the graphics and car damage are awesome. The sense of speed is so much better than other games when your doing 150mph it feels like your doing that speed. Much better than GT5.

If you want my advice buy it you wont be dissapointed  :cool: :cool: :cool:

cars seem a little to light if im honest as u cant really get a decent racing line, the game is probably etter setup for a steering wheel but cars in forza feel like theyve got sum weight behind them

I want a wheel so bad after having a go on a mates with Forza3. Seeing as out of the 6 games I have 4 are racing games I best get on the case!

Not going to bother as Forza 4 is out in a matter of months plus it would be yeat another game i would play maybe 10 or 15 times then onto the shelf
Title: Re: Shift 2
Post by: Horney on 06 April 2011, 16:24
I've got a feeling Forza 4 is going to be all about Kinect and not much different for those of us with a pad.

Does this play less arcady than previous NFS games? Really went off them but the graphics on this look great.

As good as/better than Racedriver Grid?
Title: Re: Shift 2
Post by: DOA on 11 May 2011, 16:29
Even if its as good, thats no acolade, grid was complete pap.
Title: Re: Shift 2
Post by: jmsheahan on 11 May 2011, 16:30
On what grounds? I thought it was ace personally.
Title: Re: Shift 2
Post by: DOA on 11 May 2011, 23:13
Based on the grounds that it played like you were attached to an elastic band when using a steering wheel, the steering was appalling due to this and made it pretty horid to play. Add in all the gimmicky effects and I quickly grew to dislike it.
However, to give my comments some balance, if your into more arcadey style games then I suppose it wasnt complete pap, I just much prefer more realistic games like Forza, F1 2010, GTR, Grand Prix Legends etc etc etc.
