Don't get me wrong I was very much looking forward to Shift 2 as I quite enjoyed the first but as everyone else I ended up being very disappointed.
On first release I found the game to be pretty much unplayable.The grip reduction while turning and input lag was atrocious, the sound of the cars is awful and im pretty sure dangerous to speakers due to the audio clipping.Then there are the issues of freezing, slowdown and magnetic cars.
So when the updates came out and people where saying the input lag had gone and it was like a totally new game I got excited again but alas the only thing fixed was the ffb grip reduction and the awful input lag is still there and still makes the game unplayable, so I gave up on the game.
Having not played it for a few months I decided to go back to GT5 and I was shocked at how good this game feels to drive.Its light years ahead of Shift and is a complete pleasure to play.
A driving game should primarily be about driving.GT5 might lack a good damage model but its addictive and feels right.It made me realize just how bad shift is and how shoddy of a job SMS have done.
So as the title says after Shift I will never complain about GT5 again.
