Need For Speed Shift 2 Pc Game latest full version free download
Shift 2 Unleashed
is out to scare you. Its cars scream at you with the ferocity of a
drill sergeant, and they hurl you about with all the aggression of a dog
that's just had a boot planted between its hind legs. Visceral doesn't
even begin to cover it; driving a car in this game is a full-on sensory
assault.
It's a world away from the heavy yet gentle drifts of Hot Pursuit, the last game to crawl from Need for Speed's bustling garage. Slightly Mad Studios' heritage would have you believe that this is a sim, as would the pre-release hype, but don't believe a word of it – this is as exaggerated a take on driving as any on the series.
The wild handling from the first game has been reined somewhat, but it's still more about terrifying the driver than providing a smooth and stable ride, the cars lunging around with alarming violence. It's often more survival horror than driving sim and it's an approach that works, to an extent.

During the all-new night races tracks such as Spa Francorchamps are as
packed full of scares as Dead Space's Ishimura; Pouhon, a fast left kink
that can be taken flat by the very brave, is as frightening as the most
savage of necromorphs when it leaps out of the dark at the last
possible moment.
Such thrills are aided by the added layer of immersion lent by the addition of the helmet cam, a small but welcome revolution within the racing genre. It's a first-person perspective that does more than put you in the driving seat; it provides a genuine driver's eye view. Here the screen's lined by the helmet's lining, and the camera will actively tilt towards corner apexes.
Other games let you be the car, in much the same way that some first-person shooters let you play as a disembodied gun. Shift 2 Unleashed, with its innovative new perspective, can lay claim to being the first game to actually let you be the driver, a feature that works for better and for worse.
Thanks to the driver's eye view, Shift 2 Unleashed provides the most thrilling experience available in the genre. The excellent audio visual feeds into this; the cars growl with purpose and they're finely modelled too. Even better is the gory evisceration that waits at the end of a high-speed crash, with the cars shedding doors, bonnets and wheels with violent conviction.
