Need For Speed: Shift - Front Box Cover

A fantastic racing game by they guys who made GTR2. Not as hardcore as that title, strikes just the right balance between sim and arcade. The cockpit is simply amazing, an extremely immersive and intense experience.

The graphics are the best I’ve seen in any racing game (may not surpass GT5 Prologue). Clean graphics with a great view distance, no blurriness beyond 20 feet. Excellent use of post processing techniques to simulate what it feels like when driving a race car at 100+ mph. The camera angle will shift as you go into turns or slam on the brakes to simulate your body movement.

Sound is equally amazing, you will hear every detail of the car, of the road, the car rattling likes it coming apart at high speeds, engine roaring and tires screeching that is so authentic you will feel like you are in the game.

Need For Speed: Shift - In Game Graphics

Has some bugs, didn’t identify my logitech dual action gamepad, had to input manually. Quick race feature seems to have some graphical bugs right now so I’m holding off on that.

Excellent racer, best in this particular class right now, hands down.

IGN gave it a Superb rating of 9/10.

Release: Sep 15, 2009
