  Shiftin' Gears

  UPDATE: MY REVIEW IS NOW UP

  

  

  

  

  After reading a bunch of mixed opinions on Need For Speed Shift I decided to try out the new NFS for myself. After all, I'm a fan of the series and enjoy a good high-speed race. I've tended to steer clear of the recent NFS titles mainly because I believe they have strayed too far from what makes NFS great. Sure they had some interesting features, but where they always fell flat on their ass was the quality of the driving experience. The last decent NFS for me were the two Underground titles which gave a refreshing 'Street' perspective and made for some fun street racing.

  Shift seems to have shaken off those lingering cobwebs and turned back to what made the series so enjoyable - driving the most luxurious and desirable cars at breakneck speeds around the most scenic tracks in the world.

  I'll have my review up shortly

  NOTE: These aren't my screenshots. They were posted on the EA forums by a guy with a triple-monitor setup *drool*
