Shift 2: Unleashed Launch Trailer Shows Rubbin' is Racin'

Shift 2: Unleashed

Written Friday, March 25, 2011 By Richard Walker

Shift 2: Unleashed hits the circuit next week, so as is tradition these days, EA has released the launch trailer today, showing off a few of the accolades garnered for the game so far, including big words like 'visceral'. Shift 2 is all about realism, so we're hardly surprised to learn that it's visceral, but there you go.

In the video, you can see some of the four-wheeled metal lumps speeding around a track, taking corners with precision and even doing a bit of rubbing with its racing. That's a surefire way to wreck your paint job right there.

Check out the trailer - complete with shameless plug for a Rise Against album - and get your best driving gloves ready for Shift 2: Unleashed on March 29th in North America and April 1st in Europe.

	that looks very good and i like these type of racers, not too fast to get up to the top but not a huge drag and confusing

	Shift was okay, but i didn't like it when the cars, no matter how little you turned, started to drift. Well, when i say drift i mean the skidmarks. Hopefully this is better.

	Looking good. I wish they'd just clarify whether the "exclusive content" is for pre-ordering, or just the limited edition. Based on Hot Pursuit I'm guessing it's the latter. Also, one of the big problems with Shift's multiplayer where ass-holes deliberatly ramming people at launch and ruining the chances of winning the race for anyone except the guy who started in pole or 2nd. I hope they found a way to fix that, or the multiplayer is useless. So, I'm a bit worried that they're showcasing "rubbing".

	Can't wait for this game to arrive. I try not to believe any pre-release hype stuff, but just going from the track list alone, this is going to be great fun.

	DO WANT. Hot Pursuit was shite. THIS is what racing games should be like. Arcade like Burnout is awesome, but do one or the other, not a vomited mix up of the two styles.

	Looks good, too bad I got a new game already this month; damn TDU2, piece of crap... I'll probably get this anyways though.

	I enjoyed the first Shift game. But this looks like it is going to be a huge improvement. Roll on April 1st :)
