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.

i just chopped in TDU2 for this

Paid £20 for tdu2, chopped it in for £35 to get Shift2 for a fiver  :cool:

Not to bad imho, and you cant just whizz thru the first few rounds unlike some games .
