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. 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 Reviews pc
videogamer.com review
There’s an argument that racing games are becoming stagnant. With this generation of console, graphics and car handling are reaching a plateau, and innovation needs to come from elsewhere. To my mind, Autolog is doing more for the genre than anything else right now, and other developers are going to have to conjure up something similar to remain on equal footing with EA. Shift 2 is technically very impressive, but like Hot Pursuit, it’s the social features surrounding the game that define it as an experience. If you’re a serious fan of the genre, know that Shift 2 does several things better than anything else on the market right now, which makes it an essential purchase.

Shift 2 Unleashed’s a violent and immersive racer that recreates the driving experience like no other game on the market. In doing so it builds well on the first Shift’s foundations, benefiting from Slightly Mad Studios’ more refined touch and the inclusion of Autolog, but its handling is still too loose and its steps forward too small for it to truly beat Gran Turismo and Forza – although it does enough to ensure that it’s pulled ever closer.

Shift 2 boasts a helmet cam that’s completely different from any other camera view of any other console racing game. The helmet cam mimics the movements of a professional race car driver. This means that, for example, when you approach a corner the driver begins to shift his gaze toward the apex like a real driver would. The way this was implemented is nothing short of remarkable. The happy side effects of the helmet camera aren’t limited to the benefits of looking into the apex, either.

A bucket of road racing’s best bits. Stick your hand in and you’ll pull out something fun, if you can handle the handling.
