Need for Speed: Shift

On 1st starting NFS: Shift an amazing video loads up, showing dreamy super cars being pushed to their limits in races, from a BMW M3 to a a Lambo or Merc.  All smartly dressed in their war paint, or as I should say custom vinyls.

On viewing the video, I felt my blood racing through my veins that bit faster, hitting the apex each beat.  then I thought “Meh” its only a video, of course its going to look exciting.

On a bit of a downer, the loading screen loaded again. “We’ve got hold of a BMW for this weekends race” I heard the teams captain say.  Then I was put into a race .. the car was fast, graphics were great, noise.. well Jeremey Clarkson came to mind screaming “Powwa”

Handling was a bit on the sensitive side for me, but after the 1st race you’re given the chance to edit the driver settings to fit your driving style.

The selection of cars consists of nothing but interesting, dreamy cars. And with NFS’s usual great customization and tuning you can really make any of the cars your own.

With many different race modes, its a game that offers a change form the normal racing, with drifting, driver battles, and elimination events, there’s a race to meets ever drivers sty;e.

To sum NFS Shift up, its a fun, interesting, quick paced game with more than enough power under the hood cars and races to keep you wanting more.

I like the game that much, I’ve based my blog design around it!

    Nice, interesting to see that maybe NFS has actually pulled it’s act together now. Maybe I’ll look into it.
