Need for Speed Shift 2 - Who's Buying and Interest in a CMS Hot Lap Contest?

[davidan]

So, how many of you are planning to buy Need for Speed Shift, 2? It is looking like it's going to be a fun game -- not a full sim by any means, but wonderful graphics and some fun stuff. If there are enough of us getting the game I may be up for sponsoring a special event such as a hot lap contest or something at Spa ...

let me know your thoughts and here is a video in sim / elite mode which doesnt look too bad

I'm very interested in this but waiting for some sim-racer reviews on the physics (fun to drive? Too disconnected?) and AI.

Well guys, I bought this game and have to say after playing with it a couple of days, it's unfortunately junk. I can not recommend it to anyone. First of all, it's very arcadish even on the sim settings, and it's very difficult to get a set of wheel settings that work well. I found some finally after reading some posts on Inside Sim Racing TV and NoGrip Forums, but it still was pretty much a joke of a game. -- This one is going on ebay for me--lol.

I have to agree the steering setup for this game out of the box is terrible. I played with the settings for quite a while with no luck . I would recommend trying the minimod on NoGrip, found it took the game from unplayable to almost fun.
