If you want sense of speed. Go to a freakin race track and DRIVE. You will shit your pants the first few times but after that it's a hella fun. But let me guess, racing games are more realistic than that.


if you want a realistic racing game then go drive on a track. Racing games are meant to be awesome and fun with great tracks and enjoyable. Forza and GT series aren't at all enjoyable. They're tedious. Shift series are at least fun to play. Same with burnout series.

Go drive on a track sounds funny when most people can barely afford buying a game this days =D

Shift 2 (ps3) is out.

@iNatan : Forza 3 & GT5 are running at constant 60fps (sometimes it slows down at 45 but really rare). Only Shift 2 is running at 30Fps most of the times (although sometimes it speeds up a little to 45 or so imo)

Well after playing it for like two days all I can say is.... I'm fucking amazed at how great this game came out! Handling's been improved from Shift 1 you can feel it when you get in Modern A vehicles. Selection of tracks is really awesome and the ability to change time of day, especially night racing is astonishing. AI's been improved from the first one, no more destruction derby with AI this time around. Driving feels much better than what you get in Forza 3 IMO, don't get me wrong I've played that game for quite some time. Drifting feels somewhat more entertaining than Forza 3 aswell (guess all that smoke and presentation itself does the impact). Very Happy

Bad thing we don't get the S15 nor the lp640 lambo and the exlusive events Cool Face

Yeah, i agree. Massive improvement on the original shift.
Slightly narcs me that there is an association with the GT1 World championships. As a race series, it's not exactly serious with so much rule bending. Prime example, both cars ingame, are the Vitaphone MC12 and the Matech GT; neither of which should have been allowed in the championship (the MC12 won it for years even though it's not a production car)

I'm at 15% of the career mode and i like it so far. The only total derp mode is drifting, i hate it in every game and in this game i just can't get it right.

Been using the helmet cam for a few races, it takes a while to get used too but it adds a nice graphic/gameplay element Smile

Hello all, I need your help.

I got this game not too long ago and I can not seem to make it work. I have the old IXtreme 1.51 on Benq and used to get the isos and then downgrade them to Wave 3-4 with the patcher tool and they worked no problem.

Now it ask me for an update when I put in the game. I can see it in my dashboard, even can install it no problem but as soon as I start it it gives me the update prompt and it generates an error when I try to do the update.

I want to specify that I am already on the latest dashboard (Kinect) and I can play games like AC:B and NFS HP and Bulletstorm np. By the way, my box is not jtag.

I know I might have to flash my drive again but is there anyway or anyone that uses a similar setup I have and have succedeed in booting up this game or Crysis 2 ?

Thanks alot.

Yeah the update fails to install from disk, I had the same problem with Crysis2.
You gotta download the dash update from the xbox webpage and burn it to an cdr or use an USB stick and install it from there.
(I used USB)

Check over here : http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/how-to/update-xbox-360/system-updates.aspx

I'm using 1.51 also, and patch my games to wave3.

While the update finished i had a red light which freaked me off, it was gone after a reboot though, so if the same thing happens for you dont worry.

Hi, thanks for the info but my problem is that I already did this, since I have installed the update a while ago, it wont let me re-install it using the usb key or the cd. I plug my usb in or put my cd in and nothing prompts me for an update when I power on my xbox. I figure that its because I already have the latest dashboard update. So why isint it working and is there a way maybe to revert the dashboard to a previous version so I can re-install the newest one again ?

Thanx Smile

Hmm thats strange, I havent tried this game yet but this method worked fine on Crysis2 for me.
Btw system info on my xbox reported I was using dashboard version 2.0.12625 before I updated it.

The update on that page reports the same version although installing that fixed it for me.

I don't know why it wont work for you, Maybe you do already got it installed I'm unsure about that.

Does Crysis2 still prompts you to install this update too?

I will probably load this game later to see if it works for me, will let you know.

Meh why does every racing game still use that lame rubberbanding / catch up system? It's fucking lame when you drive good laptimes, but the ai racers smash your car when braking for a tight corner so you lose control and lose the race Confused

The other racers are like souped up tanks, when you try to ram or shove them (like they do to you), you'll spin out or hit a wall Rolling Eyes

I'm finising up the C-class events and i have the feeling it gets far worse with the faster classes lol wut

I'm not sure it would run a lot better with my 8800GT + C2D 3.5GHz... Plus, I think it feels better to play this game with 5.1 sound on a 42" HDTV laying down on my sofa, even if it does indeed run better on my PC.

Im thinking the same thing, its still fun but the rage was starting to set in on a few corners where they would repeatably hit me from behind and I would have to restart. I also tried to stay behind them then force my way past and spunout nearly everytime when I hit them. Have the aids off, just ABS playing on sim. Anyway I still keep at it Laughing

Not that i'm saying that it is THAT bad, but come on. After all the hype my expectations were quite high, turned out to be it's just an overpriced Shift 1 addon

Just gotta ask - has anyone here tried the DLC on a JTAG with this game? I've downloaded both DLCs and none of the new DLC cars show up? I see the events though..

Tried installing Shift.2.Unleashed.Unlock.All.Cars.and.Events.Pack.DLC.XBOX360-XBLAplus, and that just showed the new events (Legends and Drag), but still none of the cars.

I know, I've installed the one that's included with the DLC release..

The Speedhunters DLC seems to work properly, I can race the new Dragstrips and so on, but it's also supposed to have included Speedhunters-versions of a number of cars, not sure if they are supposed to be available in the Car Lot? Where else would they be?

The Legends-events show up, but there are zero of the Legends cars in the Car Lot..
