Official Xbox Magazine even said that Shift 2 Unleased is, “the real deal” while Game Informer says, “SHIFT 2 defines the franchise” as a true simulation racing game.

“Our goal with Shift 2 Unleased is to put the series at the head of the racing simulation genre by injecting some much needed energy into it,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer on Shift 2 Unleased . “Working with the aid of Team Need for Speed drivers, we incorporated real-world race driving insights to make key improvements and enhancements to the game, while also innovating at the very core of the racing experience. Our introduction of game changing features like helmet cam further blurs the lines between real racing and the in-game experience.”
