Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed (New & Sealed) (PC) - £5.00 @ CeX

JustExtremeJustExtreme

Saw a stack of 15 of these in the glass case at Birmingham central CEX yesterday afternoon.

Highly recommend this game, lots of console kiddies moan about it being horrible compared to their beloved Forza but it really is not, it's a great racing game and even better with a wheel.

    good price, heat added, but personally didnt think this was as good as the first

    I agree with you, actually.

    I loved how the first had both aggression and precision bonuses whereas this one tries to focus a little more on realism and clean driving so there is less drive to "trade paint" for points.

    Great price if you can find it , i too agree the first was alot better.

    Just to be awkward!!!! ;)

    I think this one is far better than the 1st. different strokes i guess :)

    I paid close to full bubble on launch (and must admit regretted it a little) but for this price its a no brainer if you can get it .

    1 thing i would say, turn off all the blur crud at speed..... the idea of bluring your speedo and mirrors at high speed makes no sense to me, and the helmet cam, good idea and a nice try but to be honest, standard cockbit view is better and less annoying imo.

    hot from me.

    PS i notice there are some instock online, will these also be new sealed as if not, well, a 2nd hand pc game is kind of no more use than a coaster really. if their pc games are new i will forward on to a mate

    I bought Portal 2 from them online recently, although it was not sealed, the code was unused and the disk was fine.

    Great game, miles better than the first game and don't think it got the credit it deserved. More fun than GT5 and Forza (In my humble opinion). Driving with aids off is pretty much sim level realism as well.

    It is not perfect by any stretch, using my fanatec wheel the force feedback is no where near the likes of netkcar etc (neither is the handling/physics imo) BUT i fired up the xbox and had a blast on forza, and it was just dull in comparison to shift2.

    Shift2 nails the breakneck feeling of speed in a way that forza doesnt imo. (and also gives that OHH SH** I am going to fast and not going to make that corner panic which also I found lacking in forza)

    Bought this game for a £10 a couple months ago at Game and I was seriously disappointed.

    It plays terribly with my G27, in fact Drifting is pretty much useless. Took ages to set it up correctly and even when I did it still isn't quite right. It really doesn't feel like they tested it at all with a wheel and just set it up using console controllers and a keyboard.

    Secondly it is bloody annoying having cut scenes you can't skip being narrated by a professional drifter when your about to enter a Endurance race etc. They went the same way as Dirt and I can't stand this almost extreme sports take on driving games.

    Apart from that it's probably worth £6, but I wouldn't spend a £10 on it at all.

    good price, but utter rubbish - cars too big, appalling handling, etc - play blur or forza and then this and you will roll about laughing!!

    Rofl, Blur is hardly a good comparison, it's an arcade racer, a good one at that but still. This game looks fantastic but that's because I'm not picky, I didn't think anybody could be picky at this price.
