Popping back into the same race, I slipped my competitors on the first corner and giggled all the way to the top spot. Much swearing later, I hocked it and used some extra cash to pick up a four-wheel drive Impreza, adding a few technical-sounding tweaks from the garage along the way. I was having problems finishing on the podium in one of the game's early C-class races, using a cheapo front-wheel drive Nissan.
The graphics are great the 145 licensed cars are detailed. Car type and quality make a huge difference, necessitating some minor grinding. We tried Shift 2: Unleashed on a Sony PlayStation 3, but its also available on Xbox 360 and PC. Mastering a race from further out, Shift 2's all-or-nothing handling can be studied, judged, and reasoned with. But to win races, I had to switch to the behind-the-car camera, or suffer as my guesses about the way my car was facing were proved wrong. As an experience, the helmet cam is breathtaking – being close to the tarmac with the noise and speed feels properly dangerous. On a Xbox 360 pad (and for the love of new magic sky god, do not attempt to play with a keyboard - controller or wheel only), pushing the stick slowly to the left has one of two outcomes: a yank on the wheel that realigns your car at least ten degrees, or nothing at all.
