Need For Speed: Shift
There is really no story, you just start out as an amateur racer, and you have a little coach dude who comes up every time you unlock a new area.
The main controls are very simple.
It accelerates automatically.
You tilt to turn.
You touch to brake.
That's essentially it, though you can also change the camera view, and use nitrous by taping their own separate buttons.
Shift has 4 camera modes.
* Behind
* Cockpit
* Hood
* Bumper
This game really excels at cockpit view. It is easy to see around in, easy to control your car, and is welcoming in the beginning of the game, unlike some games that thrust you into a crappy cockpit that's hard to control. This is the best cockpit view in any game I've played.
The music is really great. They picked the best soundtrack possible. Of course, it also lets you listen to your own music, too.
The visuals are really, just great, some of the best on the iPod. Everything's shiny, car models aren't 'slapped sticker-looking', The headlights actually have profile, and the window shield really does crack, and the tires really spin.
There are only 20 cars in the game, and that may sound a bit disappointing at first, but what a car selection it is. From an Audi R8, to a Lamborghini Gallardo, to a BMW M3, to a Shelby Cobra Mustang, they have it all. Though, I do wish they had the 09 Camaro instead of the 09 Challenger.
This game is really easy at first, but later gets harder. Don't think that you'll never sell your 'totally beefed out', 'customized', '13,000 bucks spent on paintwork' Shelby Mustang that you love so dearly. You'll probably have to sell it to buy at least the worst car in the next tier.
Well, that's my review, hope I nailed everything right.
