Need for Speed: Shift 2 developed Slightly Mad is injecting "emotional and social aspects" into the sequel, which take it beyond "being a numbers game".
It includes Autolog, which Criterion made for NFS: Hot Pursuit. Rivals GT5 and Forza both "mathematical simulation of great physics" - Shift 2 'is more'.
Hardcore Gamer: For the price of a pizza, you can get ProStreet, Shift 1, Shift 2, and Undercover.
Currently a lot of Need for Speed Games, including Need for Speed: The Run are on sale.
GNT: I have to be honest – when I purchased Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed back in March last year, I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the experience. Clunky controls, poor presentation, and generally a myriad of technical issues really left me feeling let down. In fact, I returned the game the very same week. However, now that the game is available for free on Playstation Plus, I figured it can’t hurt to give it a fair shot and a review.
What I like about SHIFT2 is the sound track, which were remastered for the game. No game compares to the sound tracks. Reminds me of the old underground sound tracks.
What I hate about shift is the robotic AI. They will bump you intentionally, you slide, while they get away.
If the AI slide, they will cach you miles away and overtake you like nothing.
Once an AI car overtakes you, catching them is impossable. The only way is to late break.
I lol'd.
Erm, When I race, I dont need emotion or socialism. I want to be focused and putting in the best laps I can. I prefer sims anyway, But when I play an arcade racer I do it with a friend here taking it in turns, my socialism doesnt really need to be intergrated. Arcade racers have always been a friends are round game to me. And for sims you need focus. I thought shift was supposed to be the sim-like one?
I played Shift with wheel, and it is not a bad game. However, there were few flaws that I cant forgive. Input lag and sometimes arcadey physics are worst, and if sequel can do that as it should be, rest of announced features is enough for Unleashed to be great game. And yes, graphics was very good.
