Just been playing NFS Shift 2: Unleashed.
I have decided however that it needs a name change to:
NFS Shift 2: AI is a cunt.
I try my damnedest to race, follow lines, make sweet manoeuvres a la Forza, but nay, the AI decides it doesn't want to play that way.
I get overtaken, fairly enough after a slight error on a corner. Does the AI take advantage? Yes and rightly so.
Does the AI then decide that a quick side-swipe into my car is in order, causing me to spin off into the barriers and consequently wreck my car as well as my chances of a podium? Oh, fuck yes.
Not funny. Not happy. Toys well & truly out of the pram on this one. "This is real racing" says the box. "This is the AI being a cunt", says I.
