My review copy is "in the mail" but has anyone played this yet? Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed just hit the stores yesterday. The new game features a bunch of improvements over the original, plus I believe it's the first and only game to feature the incredible Pagani Huayra. There's a good review over at TopSpeed.com and you can check out the promo video after the jump!

I played it last Saturday on a D-box with a G27 wheel at the NFS: SOCAL meet. It's a huuuuuge improvement over the first one the arcade feel was gone, well almost. Braking felt a little on the arcade side, I was playing in Suzuka short and on the first turn after the long straight I was 80% on the brakes and it didn't lock the brakes, do this in GT5 or Forza and it's going to lock the brakes and maybe spin you out. The handling physics are way better though, go too much on the gas when you're not supposed to and say hello to the happy rear end but for most of the time my car, the BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team, it was under steering even if I didn't have full lock on the wheel. And the sounds are DEAD ON! That's all you need to know. I'm still thinking about buying it but not sure, I want to try the demo first, which they still haven't released, and I'm also waiting until I get a wheel. Overall is a fun game.

@TDWPgtp, It's called Help Is On the Way by Rise Against. This is the exclusive remix for Shift 2.
