Need for Speed Shift 2 vs Test Drive

[mmbrajohan]

Have anyone compared these two yet?

I haven't tried test drive, but I did enjoy NFS Shift 1...

Shift 2 doesn't feel as good as 1...

Awesome... Is it also a realistic drive simulator?

I hate the other need for speed game like hot pusuit and underground!!!

I'm looking for something like Gran Turismo or Forza on pc... So far Shift is the best one I've tried...

I just installed World... Will give it a go later, but it looks like a arcade type game like underground. Mabey it will be more fun online???

It is online and way more fun when you are playing against people on the internet than actually the computer drivers, since people are more unpredictable.

You start with buying a tier 1 starter car and $35000 dollars. You can put vinyls and paint your car and upgrade engines, brakes etc.

Each race gives you Experience, Money and a Random card which gives several items.

Powerboosts which gives speed boosts, traffic magnets, ramming cars in police chases etc.
Random cards also gives upgrades for your car and money.

When you come first you get a gold card, second is silver, third is bronze and blue is 4th - 8th. The gold card has better rewards.

You start at level 1 and more you level the more talent points, tracks and cars you unlock. The talent points give you special abilities you can use to do certain things to boost your performance in the races.

Sounds fun...

My ingame driver name is inuyashaa and merenwenrago.

Forgot to mention you can also do private racers against friends also plus single player racers against AI.

Test drive is a lot better, but it gets boring

I have to disagree with you on that one. I bought TDU2 on release date and played for a quite a while before eventually giving up because of the shit handling, shit "sims" gameplay and broken online play. I bought Shift 2 on Tuesday and I can't stop playing it. The handling also takes some getting used to (you have to tune your cars to get it the way you want it), but once you're used to it the game is tremendous fun. I usually only play racing games in-between other games, but with Shift 2 I barely play any other game - I just want to keep on playing Shift 2. I hate simulators like Forza and GT, but Shift 2 is the perfect balance of sim and arcade for me.

Grid still owns.
NFS and TDU2 aren't meant to be proper racing sims.
I do Enjoy TDU2 alot though, Haven't bothered getting NFS shift 2.

Shift 2 if you want a really visceral driving experience. The helmet cam that looks into the corners as you approach them is fantastic. Driving at night with the 2011 Mclaren MP4-12C is a thrilling experience.
