Leave your Fiat Punto at home son…. I think the word ‘shift' here is pivotal, not only does it pertain to the manual task of physically disengaging a given gear in mind to select and alternate gear whilst driving, but also in respect to the expectations people have of NFS; maybe NFS has finally gone...

Pretty extensive selection of cars to choose from; Rims; paint; and vinyls are now free of charge; Easy to make money; More upgrades than you can shake a wrench at

Wooden and empty feeling; Not exactly top notch driving physics; Slow automatic gear changing leaves you high and dry; Irritating opposition

The best NFS for years. A new, more serious direction has revitalised the series.

The all-new helmet-cam separates Shift 2 from every other racing game.

To write the conclusion at the start of a review isn't really the way I like to lay things out, but to be honest, with Shift it's the only way I could think of writing. So to start off, this game is ‘meh' a classic case of a game that I wouldn't really miss if it got taken away.

Need for Speed: Shift sees the return of EA's racing franchise minus the bling. It's a frantic, if confused, racing-simulation.

Need For Speed Shift – Xbox 360 I was never really that much of a fan of driving games and to be honest, the more hyped up a game is the worse it usually turns out to be. For instance, I find ‘Gran Turismo' and ‘Forza Motorsport' absolutely abysmal.

Huge variety of racing scenarios ;  Lots of cars ;  exciting ;  Addictive .

Not for you if you get bored after two seconds

Best thing about this game was the demo with the 'helmet camera' and crashes. The actual game itself rapidly becomes boring. The tracks and career progression in the game are just not very interesting or compelling.

Good game but its not the original NFS which were the best, but it is better than other driving simulators like Forza and PGR.

i didn't like the nfs's which were underground racing and stuff like that thought it was stupid so this game came as a big surprise to me, it's addictive and clever and more realistic great game and i dont really like racing games.
