Shift 2: Unleashed’ Review – GameRant

Prior to the release of Shift 2, the developers made some bold claims that it was their goal to knock Gran Turismo and Forza off the top podium spots. Does Shift 2: Unleashed do this? No, it’s not better than those titles, though it’s not worse than them either. The competition can get the handling down right off the line, and this is an area the Shift franchise has to work on. Where Shift 2 lacks in handling it makes up in the experience of being behind the wheel of a powerful racing machine. It’s not fair to compare Shift 2 to the other established games in the genre because it very much has a style all its own. Slightly Mad Studios made this sequel accessible to new players and encourages experimentation by tuning the experience to suit their tastes. It will be interesting to see what they do with Shift 3.
