Last time I looked at anything in the Shift series I was talking about how next year would be interesting for the franchise, and hoped to God that there would be an improvement in the handling. VideogameUK gave the first hardcore Need for Speed a less than wonderful 6.5/10, commenting on that almost ice skating movement of the cars, which had such horrendous oversteer and back ends like a drunken hen night.
We move on to 2011 and finally get to see Unleashed hit the shelves, but has the feeling of the original put people off enough not to brave it? In a weird way EA have taken a little page out of the Codemasters book and drafted in some folks who do their fair share of motorsport to front the game, but they aren’t huge enough for people to know exactly who they are or what they do unless told. Put it this way, if you recognise them straight away then you are a bigger petrol head than me.
