Dec 16, 2025As a game it doesn't really offer us anything new. Its driving mechanic is a little clumsy and frustrating, but it's got enough variety and depth to keep you moderately entertained. As a portable driving distraction it's a decent attempt. But it could hardly be called the breakthrough ingenious iPad title we are all still clamouring for.

Jan 6, 2012Shift 2 Unleashed is definitely a good game, that emerges from the racing games's chaos on the App Store.

Sep 2, 2011This 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.

Aug 12, 2011A game that improves upon the original, but without offering anything innovative, just new vehicles, tracks and the possibility to exchange content through Origin.

Aug 10, 2011There's definitely a good amount of variety here, from time trials to drift runs, but we've seen it all before. EA took the previous Shift, copied most of the content and produced a cookie cutter sequel. Solid overall, but you'd be wise to look elsewhere for your racing fix.

Aug 4, 2011Originally SHIFT would tempt players to drive like a devil or an angel as you danced around the track - SHIFT 2 rewards lumbering, brutish tactics and despite the wild speeds you can't help but feel the weight of such blunt tactics dragging the game down.

Aug 4, 2011So, 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.
