Awesome time NIKAZ. Just wondering, given the amount of time you spend playing racing games, and the fact you are so good at them, have you never been tempted to get a wheel? I dread to think you could go too much faster with one but it has made a huge difference to my enjoyment of this game, and I find it much more immersive with my G25

Cheers MerlinOk, I've decided on a car I like. Going to email Nikaz with a choice of 2 tracks.

To be honest with you Shift is the first racing game I've enjoyed playing for ages, years in fact. It offers a near perfect challenge in the Sim/Arcade bracket without sacrificing enjoyment levels. Sims like GTR you have to put a lot of effort (tuning & time) in to achieve any level of success. They're more hardcore & serious..... less fun.
Other games I've liked include Porsche Unleashed (2000) & Test Drive Unlimited (for different reasons) both developed by Eden Studios. The original TOCA by Codemasters & the original Need for Speed - Road & Track Presents, all in the Sim/Arcade bracket.
Gran Turismo & Forza are very good games let down by the lack of speed & immersion when compared to Shift imo.
Shift has it's flaws but the things it gets right, immersion, sense of speed & enjoyment win it over for me.
When the next racing game comes out I like I'll get a wheel, probably the G25/27 as they get high praise from everybody.
At the moment I can't justify getting a wheel for one game.
