With Unleashed, Slightly Mad Studios has also added night driving, with some races in the twilight hours as well. While some lens flares can get a little annoying, the overall improved lighting is phenomenal. If your system can handle it though, the overall effect is wroth a few less frames a second – truly immersing you. Graphically, Shift 2 Unleashed is a beautiful games, and can be quite demaning on your system at max settings. The Career mode is where the fun begins however, and will consume at least 10 hours for a playthrough. While it’not something we felt was missing from Shift, it is certainly not an unwelcome addition, and more motivation to whittle entire seconds off your lap times. Something has been carried over from Criterion’s Hot Pursuit though – Autolog, the social platform to compete on leaderboards and in multiplayer races, and upload photos. Much has improved, from the visual appeal to the physics, the control system to the upgrades and tuning section. Perhaps this is the reason Electronic Arts, adn developers Slightly Mad Studios decided to drop the NFS tag from the sequel’s name, calling it just Shift 2: Unleashed.įans of shift will certainly not be let down, and EA will have earned back more respect from the purists than it lost by making the super arcade styled Need for Speed Hot Pursuit not so long after giving then Shift.
Shift was definitely one of the first near simulator level games in the franchise’s history, and converted many of those who snnere at the series before.
