EA Games îl laudă iar:

A new level of perception. Players will experience an unforgettable experience through first-person view. The new camera, fixed on the helmet, realistically reproduces the movements of the head driver, and perfectly conveys a sense of speed. Image moves and bends with every turn, make you feel any roughness on the track and even the vibration machine body, not to mention the collisions with other vehicles

True realism. Shift 2 Unleashed redefines the genre of simulators, allowing players to immerse themselves in the excitement of real racing. The project is the famous championships – FIA GT1 World Championship and GT3 European Championship, as well as real-life cars, tracks and racers.

Realistic cars and tracks. The game features 130 licensed cars including the Nissan GT-R GT1, McLaren MP4-12C and GUMPERT Apollo; 50 real-life racing tracks such as Bathurst, Spa de Francochamps and Suzuka; and devised specifically for the game lines going to the business district of London and Shanghai.

Cerinţele de sistem pentru Shift 2 Unleashed nu par să se fi schimbat mult de la ultimul joc apărut:

Şi gameplay-ul arată cam aşa:

Pare cel puţin la fel de decent precum Shift şi lăsând la o parte toate stilizările şi modificările de dragul marketingului probabil că nu sunt diferenţe prea mari sau nu seminificative între Shift şi Shift 2 Unleashed, au existat oameni nemulţumiţi şi de Shift şi vor şi oameni nemulţumiţi de Shift 2. Între timp EA Games face banu’ şi mai scoate un joc, asta e.
