The same can be said of any video game racer though. I mean there is a laundry list of things i can find in gt5 that don't simulate realism. One of the more prominent things is the clutch in gt5 is just wrong. If i miss a shift in a real car it doesnt just go to neutral lol. Everyone whines about the nur not being realistic but how many of us have driven on the actual track? Or for that matter how many race in real life? I really like s2u because hands down it has the most tracks and one of the best selection of cars of any console racer not to mention it is a lot of fun to play.

I try not compare driving games to each other. I like to just find what the fun part of each one is and concentrate on that
Its not a failsafe formula though and I do know that some of them are better than others
One thing I do know though, is that this is quite possibly the worst driving game ever made
Its shocking!

Agreed, was trying to adapt its input lag, and I totally gave up. To be honest, driving in shift 2 will ruin your driving skill in others sim. I couldn't make a smooth round in forza 3 after playing shift2, took me couple of races to re-adapt forza's driving style, but I got no prob at all when changing from gt5 to forza 3, they are pretty much the same...
Btw, shift 2 is the first 'sim' that I could exit corners at full throttle without getting oversteer ... calling this game is a 'sim' is just ******** for this reason, I used elite driving setting, Fanatec GT2 with clubsport pedals.

There is no other game, that's the "problem". GT5 may have better layout, but it sounds bad and cars have no such detailed dashboards. And as you mentioned, shift2 is fun and exciting. That's more important to me than a missing bump or graffiti.
It's not perfect, but right now, nothing comes close, if you look at the whole package.
I does make me chuckle when GT5 fanboys can sit there slating Shift 2's Nordschlefe, when GT5 has 800 cars......800! CARS!...................which are standard....which we all know......means NO INTERIOR VIEW......LAST GEN, cut from GT4.......
Thats 80% of the game!!!!!!! L O L......
And they can pick on Shift 2 for missing out some graffiti on Nords......planks.... go figure.

@alfaV6boy: That's a variation of Stockholm Syndrome, very common among fanboys. Not just the GT crowd either, just visit any fansite, whether it concerns games, cars or whatever product. 
I myself prefer to play all racing games (and I find most people here in the Shift forum are alike). The only thing that is stopping me from getting an Xbox 360 and FM3 (and maybe 4 later on), is the fact that I can't use my G25 there (and no, I'm not going to shell out on a Fanatec wheel + pedals, the wife will have my head

Well i own GT5/forza 2 and 3 / racepro / PGR3,4 /F1 2010 / GRid / Shift 1 shift 2.....
cause i'm mad on cars!!!!! and racing etc etc etc... i want any racing game they are all pretty cheap and even to turkeys (racepro) have given me my monies worth....
how anyone can only like one driving game and slate all others is beyond me....GT5 was a let down but worth sticking on sometimes....
if it has cars in it i'll buy it, if i realluy dont like it i'll stop playing it, hell i could even trade it, i just dont see the point in GT5 fanboys trying to prove that they are better cause they own GT5!! so what its not like its rare and you can brag about ownership, its a general realease console game, its 40 quid!!! get over yourselves you ****s
