Shift 2 Arcade or Sim?

[Maxitsu]

I have Shift 1. It was a decent game but very very arcady. and i like Sim


The "NFS-crew" presents the game as a simracer. But is it?


if its really going to be a sim i would certainly buy.

It's an arcade game. Like GT5...

I am.

It's a game. It's completely unlike driving a real car on a real road.

Definitely arcade but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. Hard AI on Elite is still challenging.

It's not I-Racing Sim...nor is it PGR Arcade....somehwere in between.

More sim than FM or GT, more fun than GT or FM, better looking than FM or GT. All in all taken what FM and GT did well and done it all better while leaving out what GT and FM did poorly or wasted too much time on.

If you want a game that does racing well the only game to get of this genre is Shift2. If you like collecting, painting, buying, selling, photographing and just driving cars then Forza and GT are the better car games.

I was mildly disappointed by FM3, I was massively disappointed by GT5, but I have been massively and pleasantly surprised by Shift 2

I dont know how ppl are saying its arcade, theyve obviously not tuned there cars. All the cars default damper settings are set as low as possible, thats what gives the cars a soft/unrealistic feeling. Once you tune the cars, i find they feel better then the cars in GT5. Maybe people say it feels like arcade because they have absolutely no idea how to tune a cars suspension...

Or their controller/wheel. It handles terribly out of the box with default settings.
