This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

I think Shift 2 is a great sim/arcade racer. Each race feels more intense than the last and the AI actually give you a challange. The graphics look great from the interiors and exteriors of the cars to the debris blowing across the track. I think this game has one of the best feeling drift modes as well. The cars in this game also sound great. There is also tons of tracks and the career mode is pretty lengthy. If you pick up this game grab a $20 dollar psn card and buy the "Legends" and "Speedhunters" dlc packs. Between them both you get about 20 cars or so, 5 tracks, 1/4 mile and Standing mile drag. I highly recommend at least trying this game out its very fun and will have you on the edge of your seat.

First off, NFS:SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED is not for the faint of heart. From square one the Career Gameplay is supercharged madness and a near wreck at every corner. The graphics and sound are second only to GT5.Don't waste your time playing with a Steering Wheel the controls are just not to par. I would say Carbon and Hot Pursuit are easier games than this title with the same repetitive cars and storyline. If you are a beginner go back to Mario Kart as this title has taken realism to a new level. This title is a must buy for any PS3 user for $20

This game is probably the best out of all Need For Speeds. There so much better cars and the handling/tuning to the cars seems so realistic! Honestly an amazing car game.

Man, i had high hopes for this game. the gameplay seriously let me down, i was expecting like gran trismo kinda handling. not even close, you'd have better traction driving on a frozen lake. cars are good though, graphics are amazing, the computers aren't as agressive as they promoted. if you really want a racing game this would be good, but for someone who just got a ps3, don't buy it.

I really like this need for speed shift because i was suprised about the new tracks, new car, and Amazing Gameplay & Graphic. Alot of people giving bad reviews. they either Hate Themselves or plays a different game and consider it better then the other. Seriously I played the game and found it entertaining plus fun. Even for me i would say it's better next to Gran Turismo, and Forza plus other racing games.

the graphics is great, the sound, Awesome. but the gameplay was abolutley horrible! no matter what you do the car slides around corners and never sticks. you watch all the other cars race and they stick to the road and drive smooth. but when you drive... you slide EVERYWHERE!!! No matter what you always go into a wall i do not recommend this game to anyone what so ever its no where near being realistic... Need for Speed has let us down yet again...
