Shift 2: Unleashed (video game)

Customer Review

The simulation offshoot of the cult series "Need for Speed" goes with "Shift 2" in the second
Round and completely convincing.

Tough opponents, crisp and challenging ride, numerous
Racing events and a realistic racing feeling.
"Shift 2" is actually a no-compromise racing simulation, the other one or the
Casual gamers will probably drive you crazy.
Because "Shift 2" forgive any mistakes.
Like in real racing every little mistake ends in the rear driver's field.

Yet precisely this ruthless punishments of driving errors motivate enormously,
the race again and restart the racing line even more precise and concentrated on
drive.

This Spagath between sheer frustration, yet high fun factor distinguishes the
entire game.
To so great the feeling is a race actually own driving skills for
to decide.
Just this feeling is absent in most racing games in which victories 20 Seconds
Projection are not uncommon and make a win to a routine exercise.

What I unlike many critics yet well like here is the aggressive
Drivability of the enemy AI.
Although jostle and push it actually quite evil, just makes this feeling
for incredible adrenaline rush from the driver. Especially if you are not an overtaking maneuver
has been fully completed, and at any time must expect that the enemy's position
want to fight back and to thereby advance, spectacularly captured by the cameras,
flying off the track.

Although this aggressive driving behavior often creates frustration, however yet
all more interesting than the well-known passive opponents who are most of the
other racing games knows (eg. Gran Turismo 5).

A small gripe, there nevertheless.
So lacking in a race simulation actually unverzeilich, the weather changes.
While changing the time of day by day, dusk to night, but only on
dry roads down.

Total offers "NFS: Shift 2" almost everything a good racing game excels.
Numerous trails, racing cars of various classes, abwechslunsgreiche racing events and
a good and aggressive enemy AI.
The numerous tuning options and fine-tune the car even care at
Simulation fans for satisfaction.

"Shift 2" an excellent racing game that is both offline and thanks to the ingenious
Autolog online mode excited in multiplayer.

If you like tough race and sees one or two moments of frustration as motivation,
will love "Shift 2".
The normal racing madness so.
