    A fantastic racing title and quite honestly may be one of the best available on iOS. With multiple game modes, tough AI competition, and the ability to link up multiple devices and race your friends, there's plenty here to keep you entertained for a long time.

    Shift 2: Unleashed is bigger and better than its predecessor, with a lot more variety of races and excellent single-player career mode.

    In this iPhone version, Shift 2: Unleashed can't take advantage of the wide iPad screen to maximize its excellent first person driving experience, but the overall results are still excellent in terms of quality: the tilt controls work great, they're completely customizable and there are plenty of races and modes to play with. However, the lack of an online multiplayer is really disappointing.

    Need for Speed Shift 2 is a sequel that improves on the original, but not enough to make it a must buy.

    Shift 2 Unleashed is definitely a good game, that emerges from the racing games's chaos on the App Store.

    So, for those looking for crazy racing fun, look no further than Hot Pursuit. But, for those of you who do like their racing games on the more realistic side of the road, then you still can't beat Real Racing 2 and it's great online multiplayer.

    This is a bland, boring racing game compared not only to previous iOS Need For Speed titles, but also other racers already on the App Store.
