"A potentially great game completely ruined by one design fault."
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game has stunning visuals, a nice arsenal of vehicles to choose from, a great addition of the helmet cam making it seem even more realistic. But all of this is shot in the foot because of how light the car feels. If you even tap an opponent you get sent flying, a slight brush against a wall can have you spinning out of control, and just completely kills all realism. When im driving a 1.8 ton veyron and go into the side of a 1.1 ton maclaren F1 i shouldnt find myself flipping over it and throwing the entire race to some dramatic crash when the maclaren drives off at top speed like nothing happens… Yes in a real life race you avoid crashing into people, but when you are dealing with AI its already different to a real race.

"Great if you like something a little different from the usual"

Shift 2: Unleashed steers away from its Need for Speed roots, but don't let that dissuade you. The fast paced, roaring races and aggressive gameplay is a wonderfully fresh adaptation for the franchise. Somewhere between a sim, and a strange physics-based racing game from Steam is where I'd put it. The only thing that could affect your purchase is the helmet cam view. It's not bad by any means, and adds a layer of immersion unparalleled, but is just . . different.

Description
