NEED FOR SPEED: SHIFT =====================
Unlike previous games in the franchise there are no high speed chases from the cops, this one focuses on more of an authentic track racing game.
The career mode is lengthy with over 200 events to complete and as you win and are promoted up the leagues until you finally reach the World Tour. The modes vary from standard races, time trials, drift challenges, endurance events and car battles. You advance the leagues by earning stars through either your rank in a race, precision points, aggression points and by completing bonus objectives.
Depending on your driving style you will earn special medals that will be added to your drivers profile. Your profile constantly changes with each race and is a good indicator of the type of driver you are. With the medals and points your driver profile level will increase and from that unlocks extra car customization, garage cars and available events.
Available are more than 60 cars all fully customizable, so plenty to keep anyone busy. All of them can have body kits and nitrous added and can be fine tuned to change their individual acceleration or handling attributes.
The game has over 50 tracks to race from London to Tokyo.
Multiplayer includes up to 8 player versus mode, and your drivers profile carries over so points and medals can still be earnt which is excellent. There is also a 1vs1 dual mode that pits 2 drivers in identical cars to find who is the best.
Tip: Turn the damage off, if not after too many bumps your car won’t look very nice, be a hell of a lot slower and you will find it hard going in a straight-line. Unless you want to knock off most the wheels and totally wreck your ride.
Behind the wheel you will see the biggest improvement each car handling feels different. The noise and speed of some of the ultra cars is amazing especially down the straights. Each cockpit also looks unique ad beautiful to each vehicle.
The AI drivers are smart and won’t hesitate to push or spin you off the road given the chance. But they will also crash into one another or over shoot a corner.
Apart from some lengthy load times and the lacking ability to save films which is a let down. The driving experience is brilliant and thrilling rivalling forza and project gotham.
Advantages: Looks Good, Sounds Good, Great Cars Disadvantages: Over a Bit Too Quickly
The latest installment of the Need for Speed, Shift, series reverts (thankfully) back to the track-racing percision of ProStreet. After a few more dyer attempts at the even-more-overdone-than-WW2-shooters street racing scene, the new game heads back to some of the most popular race tracks in the world. Slightly Mad Studios have managed to create an accessible racer that's easy for a beginner to pick and jump into, but at the same times appeals to ... ...racer before will know what to expect; you start with a small amount of money to buy a bottom-of-the-barrel car, finish a few races and upgrade your car, finish a few more and buy a better car. There are plenty of cars to choose from and they all behave differently making the driving experience for each unique. The cars are broke up into Tiers, as you progress through the career you unlock new tiers and new cars. One thing I found with Shift is I ...

Advantages: Beautiful racing game, the focus is heavily on you having fun Disadvantages: If you don't like racing games its not for you. I preferred having to run away from the police.
...from EA. Based on the Need for Speed franchise. Although if you were after anything like the previous installments, which involved being generally illegal and driving away from the police. This game involves standard, almost arcade style racing, whilst looking absolutely amazing. The graphics are stunning and the audio of the cars is what you'd expect. Your ultimate aim is to get into the Need For Speed racing championships after you have gained ... ...and existing cars. Need for Speed: Shift is a departure from the franchises previous outings, you are now legal, although you can still fit the cars with a nitrous boost and ramming the cars off the track is very entertaining. The damage to the cars is well done and affect the cockpit view spectacularly. One grievance with the game is the voice that I gather is your manager. He initially aids you during the game but ends up pointing out the blatantly ...

Advantages: Good for a quck fst pace driving game good array of cars to choose from Disadvantages: no story line becomes to repetative
..."simulation" in quotes because while Need for Speed Shift is undoubtedly closer to that end of the racing spectrum than, say, Burnout, Slightly Mad made some very smart choices in deciding what would be realistic and what wouldn't. The result is that the team is essentially giving you a racing experience that is extremely close to the real thing in terms of presentation, while keeping the controls just arcadey enough to allow relative newcomers a ... ...pretty much every modern day Need for Speed title, there's zero story involved, and I'm very happy about that. The closest thing you're going to get to some sort of tale is the voiceover that you'll hear at the start of the game, telling you that you've been given a chance to prove yourself in a BMW M3 around Brands Hatch before winning some cash and choosing your own ride. After that, the voice only returns to explain new events . I found the on ...
