Best racing game so far - the feeling is incredible

User Rating: 9.5 | Need for Speed: Shift PC
So far I've played all NFS, Grid, Burnouts, GTs and Dirt.

This is not the street racing, police chasing, destroy the city NFS. This is a mixture of Grid, Burnout and GT with additional cool stuff from NFS itself.

I cannot believe how good it feels to play, even the collision feels real. The speeding up, usage of NoS, the extra options for tuning and tiers of cars is awesome, you can see the difference between each manufacturer, Japan is awesome with handling, Europe wins corners and braking while USA is pure muscle.

Screwing up corners, going to fast completely ruins everything and that makes the situation even more intense, you constantly have to watch out and not let yourself make mistakes.

The best thing about this game is the simplicity, everything is set up so nicely, you have all instructions on the screen all the time, you can use joysticks to play and the intros for every type of races is very interesting.

You can play in windowed mode, any resolution with lots of other details, if you have a strong computer, anything is possible for you.


The one and only bad thing for me is the loading. It lasts almost a minute every time before the race.

Outstanding game, I was surprised they decided to stick with the GT races and not the violent rule breaking races with police, I hope they mix in those 2 in the next game. Like you start on the street with the police and everything and end up racing on the big tracks with the big boys.
