What Gamespot Users have to say about Shift 2: Unleashed

  • Rating:6.5

    Great graphics, jerky unimpressive replays, ridiculous and dodgy impact physics

    I already had a copy of the original Shift. Wasnt too impressed with it, was trying to be too flashy and not much substance so didnt play more than a couple of hours. Picked up Shift 2 soon after it came out due to the u... Read Full Review

    Highly customizable racing simulation.

    NFS has some fantastic titles in its back pocket. This one will thrill the certain type fanbase that enjoy simulation racing, but for those that are more accustomed to an arcade style gameplay will get very frustrated. ... Read Full Review

    Gosh, why I bothered to buy this game in first place?

    So, my first reaction about this game is, that this was a total letdown. Wildly inconstistent handling and poor music are just two things that I really hate about this game. Graphics are somehow pretty to look at, and... Read Full Review

    This game is fairly good. The AI is very frustrating, the game is OK after all.

    OK game, deserves more than 7/10, but 7.5 or even 8. At the beginning, the game is quite easy. Once you get higher levels, it starts to be frustratingly hard. This game definitely takes some practice to get used to. ... Read Full Review

    Control realism stinks

    Okay did the developers of this game ever drive any of the cars featured? I bought the lastest NFS and found it totally unrealistic but fun for 3-4 hours. This one didn't even last that long. I removed it after playin... Read Full Review

    Poor handling and physics destroy Shift 2 Unleashed's potential.

    Shift 2 Unleashed is the sequel to the original Shift game. Need for Speed Shift was a out of nowhere surprise with a great cockpit view that provided a new sensation for driving. Now, EA made a sequel. Shift 2 unleashed... Read Full Review

    Beautiful game, horrible driving dynamics

    It's only been 4 months since this game hit the shelves, and it's already going for less than half the price online, which prompted me, being a racing sim fan, to buy it. Unfortunately, after only a few hours with the ga... Read Full Review
