Shift 2 has both amazing gameplay and its flaws.

Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed has been long awaited by the track racing fans around the globe but unfortunately the game is not... lets say complete. I bought this earlier today and played almost half of it. In this game there is new menus, graphics, cars, and races.

The Flaws in the game are somewhat odd, I am playing the game on a 2006 pro console but unfortunately the game is running a bit slow, during the upgrades cut scene the movie (less than 30 seconds) became a 3 minute long pixelated mess, with the sound cutting out and just horrible lag. Also the game has a few faults in my mind with the driving settings, where when you start in the cockpit view the game is more of driving the camera than the car (the car gets where your turning about 2 seconds later), the drive-line is off quiet a bit, as you can stop up to 300m from the turn, and the final fault is the graphics look slightly worse than those in Shift 1.

The Strengths of the game are great, as one of my favourite cars are in the game (1967 Ford Mustang), there is also a larger list of cars, a better HUD and menu system is put in the game but this does feel incomplete.

Thanks for reading!
