My thoughts, pretty much. However, given the rate at which those games are being released, I'm quite curious to see what it's going to be like next year, with Shift 3Looks like shift2 is going towards the right direction, only not as fast as we hoped.
Sounds a bit like the exact opposite of GT5

really, if you give them half a car width inside, they WILL dive for it, and I have been surprised several times that the AI can keep along side me on the OUTSIDE of the turn when I thought I have passed them cleanly.
they defend not only before corners, but on the straight as well, you need to pay them a lot more respect than with the usual AI.

Can game saves be backed up?

How do the physics compare to say F1 2010? I am a fan of the Codemasters line of semi-sim games and if i bought shift 2 i would be happy with that quality... However, i have heard a few times the idea that Shift 2 feels like you're driving a motorbike rather than a car. The video's i've seen of the game sure do look strange, it certaintly doesnt look like a sim.

As a GT5 player I am very very very happy about this game. I have been playing for about an hour with a DFGT wheel. The physics are quite good, the damage modelling is the best I have seen, the AI is very good, and the first event in the single player career mode was more exciting than any GT5 A spec race I can remember. Great stuff so far, detailed impressions coming later.
And there's no BSpec.

Not freaking bad at all EA. I had doubts, and was quite vocal about them, but credit where it's due. 👍
But SMS, you should get rid of that intro level in the million horsepower GT-R with no grip because it really scares people concerned about physics and FFB.
Then I grabbed an S2000, put some decent tires and brakes on it--damned if I don't think I can play this game for a good while. It's somewhat unexpected and *WAY* better than shift1.
EA/SMS gets a sticker for the day.

Well considering that of those 25% of people 10 dont have the game yet and the other 15 Bought it thinking it was a GT5 DLC, I heve to say that Im impressed and will be getting the game also in a few days.

I nearly quit on the intro level though, so I can certainly identify with what the 25% experienced.
The intro level handling and feedback are *horrid* because that car has no grip at all. When the front wheels let go (every time you gas it) what feedback there is goes mostly limp, so whatever turn you were doing just got bodged from the over-correction.
But after that, inside of the game itself, things are pretty nice. Really. Shockingly.
I had not anticipated this.

True, as i read reviews and people who actually know a bit of racing it seems you have to alter the carsettings to get a really great experience. Default carsettings are not good. But hey...GT5 had lousy carsettings too when it came to "not" driving and when you actually wanted to race/push the car to the limit. So im getting this game, i belive that theese people know better than the ones who hoped the game was a arcadetype of game that you just could install and race without tuning the cars. I love tuning my cars so i will love this game!

That's great and fantastic for you all but don't forget out GT2/Xbox combo players.
I know it's primarily a PS3 site and all but....
