SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED reviews

Translated by

This is my first Review, because it really realizes what I am being presented here for 20 Euros. I was thrilled With NfS titles like Carbon and Most Wanted (05), as well as titles like The Run or Hot Pursuit. The Feeling-depending on the Category Underground, Race or Pursuit-has always fit. Since I bought a new Car and wanted to drive through the green Hell virtually (20 Euros are much cheaper than any Accident that happens!), I researched the Audi TT 3.2, Nürburgring And that it supports my Steering Wheel Driving Force GT. Virtually the only Game was Need for Speed Shift 2. So good: EA, I'm buying! After just 10 Minutes of Playing in the Audi S3, I quickly realize that despite the relevant Announcement of Logitech and EA, the Game is completely and not suitable. The Audi has far too little maximum Steering impact. He doesn't like to like to go along the Curves on the Ideal Line (Help all but ABS), no matter what speed and how doll I turn the Steering Wheel. A Little more "Reactivity" could be achieved by limiting the virtual Impact from 900 to 90 Degrees (!)-now I can still Steer, but the maximum Steering impact is still much too "straight." So well, everything is set back to Standard, I just have to throw the Handlebars around like a Tractor. In the second Event Category, you're allowed to drive the Lotus Exige S sample-and Boy, if Lotus knew how EA mistreated her Piece of jewelry, I think they'd sue EA! Here the Steering VIEL is too sensitive, the Lotus breaks out on every Straight, a Glide around the Curve is very spongy and a nimble Maneuvering for Overtaking is not to be thought of! For such a lightweight Sports car, which with a super low WEIGHT With a moderate Horsepower number is actually considered to be the Curve Predator par excellence, it drives itself like an inflated Musclecar with a rear Focus. Like a BMW with oily Rear Tyres and over 400ps. Like a Porsche on Ice. In the second Event Category there is also a Test Track for a Porsche. Unfortunately, I can't say more that this Route hangs as the (so far) only one as soon as the Loading Screen arrives. For a Game that is 3 Years old, you can no longer justify such Patzers. My PC is a normal i7 Notebook with normal Windows 7 and current Drivers of any Kind-nothing exotic. A Solution after the Problem with Google was inconclusive-so some Routes will probably not be playable at all. It is a Cheekiness to button off 20 euros for a 3-Year-old Game in which the Handling is so "multifaceted bad" that one car can be steered almost not sparing and the other Car even with a Straight (and a Steering Wheel Deadzone of 1%) Not exactly lets you drive. If problems still remain unpatched, this is not a Racing Game, but an Insult to all Fans. Too bad you can't give Games back, and too bad EA will never read this Recession. One thing I know: For me, EA died as a Sports Game Manufacturer! I prefer to stick to Drift 3, there is a Car as it should, without hours of Poultry and "newcomer" how to steer. There it was possible to realize that an Off-road vehicle 4WD drives differently from a Fiesta FWD-and yet authentic and feasible.
