Need For Speed Shift Review

4

This is not your typical Need For Speed title, if you are looking for a Hot Pursuit or Most Wanted experience this is not it but regardless this is a very good title in its own right, but is much more difficult to master than your typical racer. If you are a casual racer you may give up with this title quickly, however if you are a hardcore racing fan and like a challenge this is a good choice. Graphics are very good and there are more views for driving than your standard racer, in-car being the best for realism. There are a lot of cars, which can be customised considerably as you unlock cash during your racing efforts. There is a good variety of tracks as well, this title will keep you busy for some time. The online mode is competent in translating the same experience from single player to multiplayer where you get rewarded for passive or aggressive driving styles. This is an absolute bargain and a must for petrol heads.

Need for Speed: Shift is a good game. I liked it on PC as well, but I miss the replays of races.

Fast, furious fun

im a fan of the need for speed series, the games are always really easy to get to grips with initially, and yet are difficult to master the harder areas of the games. and need for speed shift is no different. its a great game and the online is really fun. its a great classic that deserves being played.

Great driving game, with nice intuitive controls, which I found fairly easy to pick up, without making the game too easy. (The controls are easy to get the hang of, but perfecting them will take practice). A classic driving game, gets everything you could ask for right.

Need for speed tends deliver, but this one is definitely the best yet. As it says, shift is definitely a classic, I can't imagine it being surpassed any time soon. One of the most enjoyable racing games out there, graphics keep you engaged, driving is challenging without being frustrating, making much more enjoyable than say Gran Turismo, which for people unused to driving games is basically just unplayable. They've focussed on the actual driving experience and cut the dodgy storyline bits in earlier versions of the game, which actually makes the thing way more fun and gives it a way longer life span as well.

Having bought and enjoyed Shift 2, it was difficult to resist getting the first Need For Speed: Shift. Overall I am pleasantly surprised. Many reviews for Shift 2 mentioned how much it improves on Shift, but in truth there's not a lot wrong with the original game. Sure the handling is a little bit of a shock at first, but once you get used to it there's no looking back. Graphics are not up to class-leading Forza 4 standard, but are perfectly fine. There is a good choice of cars and tracks, and plenty of objectives and challenges in career mode to keep you coming back for more. In fact I think the career is far more varied and interesting than the very dull career mode on Forza 4. Overall, a great purchase.

It is an old game but it is still very fun to play. A Classic NFS racing game!

Need for Speed has finally taken a turn towards real racing, and it's nice to see that. It's still decent fun as well, but it's certainly got nothing on Forza.
