In-Game Content Gives Players the Edge with Instant Access to Three Cars and 40 Career Events<\/p>\n
20 December 2010, Australia \u2013 The grid is stacked, tires hot, and the engines are set to fire. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) has announced the SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED\u2122 Limited Edition\u2122. Players who pre-order the game will receive immediate access to three exclusive cars ready to roar off the line: the Nissan Silvia spec.R Aero (S15), the Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV and the Lamborghini Murci\u00e9lago LP640.<\/p>\n
SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED also delivers the rush of an authentic driver\u2019s battle with exclusive access to 40 career events. Launching in Autumn 2011, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED is the perfect simulation complement to the action racer Need for Speed Hot Pursuit that introduced a simple yet brilliant rivalry-generating technology called Autolog. This groundbreaking network had been carried over to SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, connecting friends in head-to-head races and comparing player stats for the ultimate social racing competition.<\/p>\n
The 40 events include Single-Type race events, where a driver\u2019s skill is pushed to the limits as each player competes in the same make of car; Old vs. New Challenge events in which classic cars go head-to-head against their modern counterparts; and Manufacturer Showdown events that pits some of the most iconic car rivalries against each other in an all-out-battle to prove which car is the best. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED takes the revolutionary true driver\u2019s experience of the SHIFT franchise and ups the ante with an all-new rendering engine and graphics overhaul, innovative helmet camera, night racing, and authentic degradation of tracks and cars.<\/p>\n
Developed by the award-winning Slightly Mad Studios, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED will be available on the Xbox 360\u00ae videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system and PC.
