Bone-idle.ie writes "In anticipation of the launch of Need for Speed Shift 2, EA treated a number of UK and Irish Journalists to a day out learning to drift like a pro at the Pro Drift Academy, and to also have a sneak peak at the upcoming game.
To teach a bunch of amateurs to drift high powered cars you need a lot of open space. The perfect setting then is a nice wide open runway and this is where the event was located. Just outside Dublin is the “Weston Aerodrome” a small private airport normally used for flying lessons, but today it was taken over by a fleet of supercars"
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.
