Every car – from the semi-luxurious Audi S3 and the fairly basic Chevy Cobalt SS to the high-end Bugatti Veyron and the highly anticipated Camaro SS – looks extremely realistic. Once inside, it’s hard not to get lost in the skid-producing, rubber-burning sensations.
SHIFT is a very fast racing game, but you won’t know it unless you play from inside the car.
More importantly, it means you will sacrifice the racing element that matters most – speed. Doing so means you’ll have to sacrifice the gorgeous, Forza 3-rivaling interiors of each automobile. But that’s not an excuse to play using the third-person view – not to the developers, at least. Whether taken straight from the factory with a predetermined, ultra-shiny coat of red, black or blue, or pulled into the garage for a homemade color scheme, SHIFT’s cars look amazing. The behind-the-car view is certainly a nice way to keep an eye on your surroundings while drooling over the intricately designed car models. It is wholly possible to select and enjoy another, more common perspective. Most strikingly, SHIFT all but begs the player to choose the first-person (in-the-car) view. Unlike most racing games, you won’t be accessing each element individually – instead, the developers wisely combined them for a career mode that is as lengthy as it is exhilarating. Like most simulators, SHIFT is most memorable for its integration of many different features, cars and race types. In fact, the game is somewhat of an arcade/simulation mix that could appeal to gamers who were never quite satisfied with the work of Turn 10 Studios and Polyphony Digital. But this doesn’t mean that SHIFT is going to compete with Forza and Gran Turismo – far from it.

Those who have been listening to the hype should be well aware of EA’s intent to push the series deeper into simulation gaming.
Now, with yet another adjustment, one more variation can be added to that list with the release of Need for Speed SHIFT. NFS Underground, NFS Hot Pursuit, NFS Carbon and NFS ProStreet were drastically different from each other, encompassing gameplay types as varied as police chases and dragster street races. It’s no secret that the Need for Speed series has been driving all over the place.
