Shift 2: Unleashed
Here is a new racing game for racing fans out there. Shift 2: Unleashed is a highly challenging and exciting racing game which improves greatly on its predecessor. New features, such as the first-person helmet cam and the reworked graphics engine, make the driving seat a more thrilling place to be than it was in the first game.
The game begins very much like the original, with a quick two-lap practice session to help it decide what difficulty level and which driving assists players require. Keeping your car out of the grass and away from the barriers becomes considerably more difficult as you turn off the assists, which means you can increase the challenge as you progress.
It's not just the handling that can catch you out in Shift 2. AI drivers are aggressive; if you give them an accidental nudge on the way into a corner, they're likely to retaliate at the next turn's exit.
Career mode forms the main single-player challenge in Shift 2. You start out in grass roots racing with slow cars, aiming to earn enough experience and money to work your way to the top. Career mode flows very quickly from one event to the next, and after only a couple of hours, you will have progressed from hatchbacks to supercars.
There are also upgrades that can turn road cars into track day legends. Each new car in Shift 2 opens up additional races, but you can also gain access to them by upgrading your current machines, so that they can take part in higher-performance races.
The competitive online mode contains a selection of traditional race types. The new race type is Catchup, where one player is given a head start in a slow car while the rest of the field chases him or her down in more powerful supercars. If one of the supercars beats the slower car to the finish, that participant becomes the slow car in the next round. - Article Courtesy of Manila Bulletin.
