Need for Speed Retrospective #17
It's still good old Shift. The gameplay is... getting around corners. Learning to brake properly doesn't sound like the most engaging activity under the sun, but I still had loads of fun a second time around.
On the other hand, it's almost embarrassing to see how much they struggled to address the biggest criticism directed at the predecessor: The blatant oversteering that was especially obvious during drift events. They even included lengthy tutorials this time, but even after doing those twice and watching Youtube videos on the subject, despite knowing exactly what I had to do, I found it an absolute pain to pull off and mostly ended up ignoring drift events throughout the game once again.
