When you hit the walls or other cars at speed your view becomes blurred momentarily to represent the hit, while when driving normally your view becomes blurred and the drivers helmet will bounce around. It is no surprise given the feature set that the game is best played from within the cockpit of the car. However, in the car it definitely behaves in a bit more of a realistic manner. When driving with the outside view the sensation of speed is high, but the handling is quite arcade like and floaty. However, in some ways the game doesn't convey this well. It is clear that this game is wanting you to drive wheel to wheel without actually knocking cars off the track, or sliding around corners. Something that has been dropped from the original Shift is the XP gained for driving aggressively. You gain levels by earning XP and you earn XP by either winning races or performing good driving in the races such as remaining on the best line, or leading for an entire lap.

You really do need to leave the old Need for Speed behind before taking Shift 2 on, as it's such a quantum shift and a few decisions that were made during its development have kept it from being a must play game.Īs with Gran Turismo 5, what events you can take on is driven by a driver level.
High speed police chases are replaced by wheel to wheel racing in proper racing cars rather than high powered exotics.

Just like the Shift game from two years ago, the aim of this title is to take the Need for Speed series in a more realistic direction. So, should you check out Shift 2? Well, yes and no. But more of a worry for EA is that of the gargantuan Gran Turismo 5. Coming only months after the last Need for Speed game, many would see it as too soon.
EA used that game to announce the release of Shift 2. Criterion Games, the developer behind Burnout, reinvigorated the series, but the game also had an interesting trailer attached. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED also incorporates the next generation of Need for Speed Autolog – the groundbreaking network that connects friends for epic head-to-head races and compares player stats for the ultimate social racing competition.Last year Electronic Arts took Need for Speed back to its roots with success. With an innovative helmet camera view simulating the physical experience of driving at 200mph, the thrilling experience of night racing and authentic degradation of tracks and cars, this is tomorrow’s sim for today’s adrenaline fueled racer. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED features an all-new rendering engine with a massive graphics overhaul that puts the player in the heart of the racing action. “We are also working closely with real-world performance drivers to ensure that SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED captures their experience and becomes the benchmark in authentic racing action.” “SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED is redefining immersive racing by blending the rush of tearing up the track at unbelievable speeds with the emotional experience of competitive battle,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED. The world debut trailer of SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED was revealed today as bonus content for the action racing Need for Speed title, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Launching in Spring 2011, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED pushes the envelope with the most authentic and intense racing experience in the genre. In SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, players’ hands sweat and ache as they clutch onto the controller, their pulse races from the break-neck speeds experienced through the first-person cockpit view. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED builds on the true drivers experience by introducing the driver’s battle, an even more authentic and primal feeling of power and speed which elevates the fundamental competitive race into a struggle for supremacy against other drivers and even the track itself. Capturing the physicality and brutality of racing at 200mph has been the leading area of innovation by the award-winning development team at Slightly Mad Studios. Its success was propelled by the revolutionary true driver’s experience - a game design that was heralded by critics as more visceral, more physical and more intense than any other title in the sim category. The original SHIFT game was released in September 2009 and has sold through close to five million copies globally. Electronic Arts Inc today announced SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, the next entry in the blockbuster Need for Speed simulation series.
