There are in the same manner many things done right in terms of design that this feels like the freshest take up~ the body the “simulation” racing genre in many, many years. I put the vocable “simulation” in quotes because while Need for Speed Shift is undoubtedly closer to that extremity 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 actual feeling that is extremely close to the real thing in terms of re~, while keeping the controls just arcadey enough to allow relative newcomers a abundant easier entryway into the game than the likes of Gran Turismo.

Let me step back a in a small degree bit before delving into the racing experience. NFS Shift returns to the follow -based racing of old (and ProStreet) rather than the open-nature stuff seen in most of the modern titles. You’ll gain arrive at mainstays like Laguna Seca, Willow Springs and Nurbergring as the backdrops to your weary burning, and each of these are brought to life excellently. They’re not 100% truthful compared to their real-world counterparts however as Slightly Mad has tweaked the view to provide more compelling views in spots that were a mean drab, but the course layouts are indeed intact, which is the sort of’s important. Given the course selection in the game (totalling in one place or another around the 20 track mark), it’s of little surprise that practically each meter of road in the game is fun to drive.

Unlike fair much every modern day Need for Speed title, there’s cipher story involved, and I’m very happy about that. The closest created being you’re going to get to some sort of tale is the voiceover that you’ll listen to at the start of the game, telling you that you’ve been given a jeopardy to prove yourself in a BMW M3 around Brands Hatch judgment winning some cash and choosing your own ride. After that, the spoken sound only returns to explain new events and the like, but none to tell you that the cops are on your tail or that your strong attachment interest can introduce you to some jackass in a garage. Nope, this bonny much as pure of a racing game as you can get, and I for one am very thankful for that.

That’s not to speak that the experience is drab. On the contrary, there’s strange and somewhat atmospheric music in the menus, a generally slick interface total around and some stylistically edited videos to introduce new events. It’s the terminate of stuff that will keep your blood pumping between events out of getting in the way. - Chris Roper(IGN)
