Gameplay
--------
Like the original game in the young Shift video game franchise,
Shift 2 Unleashed is a Need For Speed game, but one that falls
decidedly in the Simulation game genre as sed to an arcade
racer. The game features first-person oriented racing in which
players experience true in-cockpit vibrations with every scrape,
bump and scratch that their cars encounter. In-game players
pursue the FIA GT1 World Championship and GT3 European
Championship via a point-based experience system as they take on
the roles of real-world drivers and a variety of race types
across equally real-world tracks in a wealth of cars.
Change the Game with Autolog
----------------------------
Shift 2 Unleashed also contains powerful social networking
functionality, known as Autolog. Autolog is a revolutionary
system that connects friends and changes the gameplay experience
by allowing you to share virtually every aspect of your racing
career both while playing and when not. Compare driver profiles
and career status, share and comment on pictures and videos, send

Speehunters.com. Autolog recommendations amp up the social
competition of real-world racing by delivering challenges based
