Overview: Playability (Lexington)

 Greetings. No, probably of the interactive entertainment lover who has not heard about the series Need for Speed. Series consists of nearly two dozen games of varying quality and genre branches. During its long history of this franchise and had time to visit the arcade and simulation, and on-line race. And probably every one of you at least once played in at least one part of this famous series.



Shift 2: Unleashed (or Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed) - a computer game in the genre of car simulator, which was developed by the studio Slightly Mad Studios and released by Electronic Arts in 2011. This is very strange, because just recently appeared on the shelves of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, 2010, and it was logical to assume that the next NFS should not wait for the next fall, but suddenly EA announced that the game will be in March.

Shift 2 is the sequel to one of the most controversial parts of the series. Need fo Speed: Shift is positioned as a full-blooded simulator, but in fact it turns out that the game is far and from the simulator and from the arcade. The physical model does not cease to amaze unpredictable behavior of the car, and perfect cornering compared with the feat. But at the same time, the games were also pluses: great graphics for the time, quite an impressive fleet of vehicles and real track. To play it safe somehow, you had to play with a quality wheel well, or at least with a gamepad. The game was quite warmly received by the players.





What awaits us in Shift 2? As part of the career changes are minimal. We still start an inexperienced rookie, who drew attention to the seasoned racer. It gives you a chance to prove themselves. After the first race at the time we are asked to choose the difficulty of the game and control. Just specify that the most appropriate and enjoyable, if not strange, is the most complex operation mode. Having dealt with the settings and entered the first race in the race to earn the money we buy his first car. And then championships, money, cars and cups.


Major innovation is the support of Autolog, well in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 also appeared in a game the night race and one of the most interesting innovations - the camera from the driver's eye. In this mode, an overview is slightly reduced frame helmet, and turns on the camera slowly rotates in the direction of the turn. So you need to play more to get used to, but with the camera mode of presence increases twice.
Fleet consists of more than a hundred cars, from cheap Ford Focus, up to super sports cars Pagani Huayra. By tradition, the game has ample opportunities tuning cars like the look and performance. Yet now for each machine to upgrade it to the desired level, it is possible to buy the factory rework that turns an ordinary car into a jet racing car. The game is almost 2 times more racing tracks in relation to NFS: SHIFT (both real-life and fictional), and taking into account the change of day and night, this number can be doubled. A standard set of modes includes: Ring race, drift, race against the clock and the Battle of pilots.



As I said above, the most enjoyable game mode is the most difficult. At lower levels, the game haunts all the same ailment first Shift - inadequate physics. Let her redesigned and improved, but keep the car on the road is still unreasonably difficult. Also nowhere delac constantly trembling camera that besides the inconvenience nothing else brings to the gameplay. The game looks very good, criticism is perhaps that the machines only (does not apply to the elaboration of Interior), but this defect can be seen only the most experienced riders to play console masterpieces of Forza Motorsport 3 and Gran Turismo 5.

We offer you a rate of passage of the game Need for Speed ​​Shift 2: Unleashed, where you can see for yourself the quality of performance of this product:



Overall, Need for speed: Shift 2 - Unleashed - a good quality game and certainly not without flaws, but it is quite fun to play, and you can while away the other week.



Review: Graphics

Graphically, Need for Speed ​​Shift 2: Unleashed little far removed from its predecessor, Need for Speed ​​Shift. As stated earlier the developers focus was not so much on the visual component, but on a more advanced physical model that really has to be elaborated and improved, passing more realistic behavior of vehicles on the road.



One of the main distinguishing features of the game was the view from a camera mounted on the helmet of the rider, and it is from this angle, we have the most attractive picture. Models and textures environment are at an acceptable level, although today it is already possible to implement and more powerful graphics component.
