NFS series games have always been my favorite when it comes to racing. This game has great graphics and tuning but it seems like they did not take their time with Shift 2. There are only about 2 soundtracks remixed to sound differently so every time I win a race the same song plays. The vehicle sounds seem a little off sometimes and the physics were not as good as the original Shift. I have all assists turned off and if I am in a long turn and holding the accelerator all the way the car does not over-steer and remains at low rpm's. If I am taking a long turn in real life and hold my accelerator all the way, my car will either gain too much power and go off track or end up over-steering. This is something that was actually very accurate in the original Shift. Great game overall. Cars looks great although when you make physical changes to the car you have only 3 body kits to choose from and you cannot mix and match. I am just quietly waiting for another Underground game.

Shift 2, if you havent played other games, then you'll be like "wow" and "whoa, dude" If you played a lot of other games and play games for the analytical aspect then you might say "Satisfying" or "Pleasantly plump with pregnant aesthetics of prompt enjoyment" I like a car game that handles well, cars that respond very good, I can be assured that I can make that sharp corner with an exact slice, whoosh barely squeezed in but made it, fast cars with excellent handling, wish my real car would do this but oh yeah, this is a video game, thats cool its fun anyway. Is that how Shift 2 gameplay handles? No. It sucks. Example 1: Driving a Porsche and the road curves to the right and so I go into the turn, steering into the turn but the car is still going forward, so I swerve into the turn, still going straight, right off the track into side wall - huh? Example 2: I am driving an Audi fast but then when I slow down, I mean I slow down to like a elementary school cross-walk slow with kids running around willy-nilly like a herd of sheep meandering all over the road, so yeah I slow down, almost to a stop, turn on my signal for a left turn and then the car rolls violently into the wall - wtf?! This game plays like Shift, I suppose a little better and a little worse but it plays like Shift, just as good and just as bad.Read full review
Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed is a great racing game. I could even go as far as to say it is a racing simulator, but that would only apply to the feel of being in the cars. The reason why I got this game was because I wanted a break from Forza Motorsport 4. Shift 2 has many things that FM4 does not: a customizable interior, many more decals and graphics, realistic backfires, helmet-cam, and it also simulates the effects of high speed and crashes. Barrel rolling down a straight at 160 mph will make the screen go gray and blurry and shaky. Traveling at high speed will increase your focus on the road and blur everything in the car. One of the things that Shift 2 has that I wish FM4 had is drifting events. Drifting in Shift 2 isn't as hard as drifting in FM4, but it sure isn't easy either. As in Shift, Shift 2 allows you to look around in your cockpit. When you shift gears the driver actually moves the stick shift to the proper position. Money isn't very much trouble in this game, and there are plenty of opportunities to win cash bonuses, cars, and more. This game is a great game if you enjoy hardcore track racing.Read full review
