Disappointing sequel to an average game

User Rating: 6 | Shift 2: Unleashed PC
By Babarian225 | Review Date:
I got this game because of a select few past nfs games I played that were good.

Positives:
-Excellent Engine sound
-NFS Upgrades to cars is good
-Good car/cockpit models


Negatives:

-Absolutely terrible Performance on high end PCs
-no aspect ratio settings.
-poor graphics
-poor car handling
-input lag
-poor option menu
-AA is totally broken
-Poor car reflections
-annoying track stones
-crash simulation is broken
-crash simulation cause great performance loss
-worse than original nfs shift by Far !
-very short game
-infact its a disguised addon
-no xbox controller icons?
-unplayable with key board
-Onboard camera is too high in position

to be honest this game is a huge let down and it is a worse game than the Original nfs shift.

Shift 2 Unleashed does have good car/cockpit models and great Engine sounds but the list of negatives is too much, and this makes the game not recommendable.
