Need for Speed Shift UK Review
- Thread starter Chris V6 255
- Start date
It is odd actually. The career mode seems pretty addictive actually. You get to drive a pretty big range of cars in the first 15 races or so which is nice.
Also the Nurburgring is pretty realistic compared to alot of other games. Seems to convey the hills and bumpyness of the circuit pretty well.

In fact, i might go as far as saying im now enjoying this more than forza 2. Shift just makes Forza 2 feel like a girls game. Its such a raw game, not exactly realistic, as some people have said already the physics are ..... different, and it has a few niggles but after a few hours on it you look past them. Great game.

I vote DiRT 4 sure!
mine was a crash to the desktop with no error messages. is it out on pc yet? think ill hand over some hard earned to play online :rasp: just unlocked level 3 and the works package oh my!
I just returned this pile of crap for the ps3.what a joke,the handling is totally flawed,the cars look like there on a pole turning in the centre of the screen,lucky ive got Dirt 2,now that is a game! i cannot believe the good reviews this game got, they are clearly not deserved

Got the demo today and sync'd it up with the G25. First impressions are that its very pretty indeed - so much so that I was struggling to get over 40fps without turning down some of the graphical options.
The default steering settings are truly shocking - who the hell set them up for the G25? :S So much as a half inch turn either way, resulted in what seemed a 90 degree yank on direction. I was forever see-sawing - even on the straights. I tweaked the steering, but then the car transformed itself into the QE2 - not wanting to move a foot of direction without loads of steering input.
I'll try and get the balance just right and get a proper feel for the game. As it is, I would like a development team created with the NFS bods design ability, combined with Simbin's attention to detail. What a driving game we would have then....:approve:

First game I've bought for the PS3 and I've had the damn thing a year.
First impressions are it's very, very pretty, sound is immense and the handling is very unrealistic ha.
Good game though, Career mode is addictive and i've just hit tier 3 woo!
Is there a way to try a car before you buy!?

Mate bought this today, and I'm glad he did. Saved me £30ish as I can't believe how rubbish the game is. Quite disappointed, we'd nearly finished it on Pro within a couple of hours lol.
rented this for the week as i wasn't sure what it would be like and its much better than i thought it would be, very pick up and play.
Got a 350bhp megane sport in chrome pink at the mo and bought a white LP560 wheni started T2 without realising i can't use it as its a t3 car lol, so back to the megane.
Once you get used to the handling (like any driving game when you first play it i guess as they are all differnt) its class.
Highlight so far is the invitational race with the veyron around the ring, wow is all i can say, amazing car to race the ring in, sooooooo fast!
And I call billy bullshit to gaz nearly finishing it on pro in a few hours, that is fecking impossible, no way whatsover ever i'm afraid, you haven't even touched the game in a few hours with all the levels to get up to, i'm on lever 11 after about 5 hours of play and there are 50 levels each one harder to get etc.
So stop bullshitting Gaz.

We got to tier 4 dude
not that i know off.
ive got and ruined the game
Ha.
PM code?
CBA with this much longer! :dapprove:
lol, thats very easy to do, you get to that from your tier points, not your levels, i think i got to tier 4 after being on level 8 maybe, and there's 50 levels, and to complete the game you would need to get all the trophies on all the races, you haven't even touched the surface really, just opened up the tiers to let you play in most areas of the game, not even a quarter of the way through though.
The more i play it the more i like it.
hmmm, the blur i think is a good idea, at least if you crash you get penalised etc, by being shaken up.
the handling does need a bit of getting used to, i'm still not sure about it but it has become easier to handle as i have gone through. Its no forza but then its not trying to be, its an arcade racer.
not done any drift races yet, will be soon so i'll comment then i guess, anyway good bit of fun for £6 hire, doubt i will buy it, could just rent it again for a week.

It was just so weird, they handled a lot better in NFSU. I had been playing Forza 2 earlier in the day which probably didn't help lol. And how much of a c**t is manual transmission with them being above the accelerator and brake. That was quite hard to operate lol.
Lol fair enough! I prefer manual, always have since being a wee shredder on TOCA touring cars on the PS lol.
Anyway to set the car up so I'm not going round every corner sideways? :dapprove:
The OH bought me this while she shopping on Saturday as a surprise, aww.
I stuck it in for 15 mins, then decided to play NFS Shift.
I wasn't impressed with it, and within 1 hour I was back at Asda getting a credit note, and decided to buy her Mario Kart for the Wii as there is nothing out I wanted.

Anyone else finding the drifting completely crap?
