Shift 2 Unleashed (video game)

Customer Review

First:
Since I have come again to the taste of motor racing lately and the good selection Car Racing Pc is not great I spontaneously added myself Shift 2, costs anyway only 10th
Incidentally, I want to say that the game does not install on my relatively new PC with Windows 8 was (even after hours of troubleshooting, tens of new installations, regergen the Internet, with different mods and patches ... nothing). On my laptop, everything works fine then fortunately.

The game:
Basically, the game is really well done, there are a sufficient number of cars absolutely where something for every taste should be there. The menu I feel not as confusing or unstructured contrary to many other reviews. The graphics are admittedly not what a 2012 from stool skin, but still up to date and not a negative point.
So far so good, so you will start your career and you're forced to look at one of the recurrent videos in which the seemingly well-known in America racer explains on what to pay and still are a few tips for the next race. While the game gets by really living thing, but I think it would be better to be able to push the videos easily. Here we go with the first race and ends up after almost every bend (and sometimes even straight) in the grass or gravel .... well first race.

But you drive more races you will notice very quickly that the main problem does not lie in the lack of own driving skills special control is simply absurd! Despite the patches through which the absolute uncontrollability of cars of unpatched version greatly improves the horsepower monsters can still control misserabel:
1. Even after the patch is the time to go from moving the joystick to the reaction (steering motion) in the game too long to really accurate
2. The game will steer no exact - will be on a long straight the direction korrigiern only slightly so as not to scrape along the wall unit, the vehicle very quickly out of control and can hardly catch
3. The braking behavior is absolutely unrealistic -häufig too long braking distances and during braking the same game as on long straights (but affects something anderster from): If you want to correct the path by slightly countersteer breaks the car out immediately -> you slide across , against the wall, or in the other driver
4. I at least appears over- as well as understeer of front and rear wheel drive (all-wheel I did not go) too exaggerated, the basic idea can really identify potential is not yet well done!

Probably would consider me further incident points for longer, I might have the core problems will also not be placed as closely to the point, but the fact is that is the control far misserabel! If you have a track 10x drive to get even halfway tidy finish (no exaggeration) is the big frustration ....

As I said otherwise, the basic ideas in the game are really good, only the control simply a key element that needs to fit in a car race! If the problem is still sufficiently verbesser by a patch I give 4, maybe 5 star, I can unfortunately only a 2 for the generally good concept give .... shame
