Shift 2 kept me up till 3 am :)

I just got Shift 2 (PS3) and I am truly enjoying all the original tracks from Shift 1 when I used to play at least 10-15 hrs a week for about 6mo's to nothing. I burned out on the game and haven’t played it for at least 6 mo if not more. Now that I have had a night to play it and enjoy the old favorites in the game it brought back some fond memories.

After I tried the new tracks I found out that I need more time on them and the learning curve came into play. The graphics are fine and the cars are fun. I made it to level 14 in about 4 hrs without a single freezup or even a glitch, I will go through the game again on my other login just to get more familiar w/ all the little things in the game. Overall it is more fun then the NASCAR game and the less forgiving GT5.

If you liked Shift 1 and weren’t totally up to here w/ the style and handling aspects of this series within the franchise, then your driving sensibilities will be in for a fun drive. I am happy that I now have this game to bring a little variety to my GT5 and NASCAR driving time.

I don't know if many of the old Shifters will show up but I could be wrong, mostly they went to GT5 or something more hard core like PC sims, I think.

Damn yeah! I feel the same about the game! I LOVEZ SHIFT 2!!!!

Agreed as well. IF and WHEN a patch comes along to fix the input lag that other players have been plaguing about online, it'll make the game even more enjoyable. Hell, i haven't even touched GT5 ever since I got the game on release day.

Btw, why is the game in KPH and not MPH? Is there any way we can change that?

I liked Shift 1. I'm very tempted to acquire this!

Very addictive game man!

Despite the control input lag and some other issues regarding basic "control and handling" of the game, once you dial in some good settings for both the controller/wheel, the game feels much more enjoyable. I think you should pick it up and then decide for yourself. Great game with great cars and tracks. Just don't go in thinking it's going to be GT5 with racing mods/more tracks.
