Need for Speed Shift UK Review

[The Ironist]

Handling vastly improves if you mod car, I did full mods on a cayman and drives pretty well now and rapide

 

[Gaz.]

Anyone else finding the drifting completely crap?

Yup

The handling is bloody awful what a waste of £35. Lucky I got my money back. EA tricked everyone with the reviews people gave it after being payed off, thats all I can think. The cars handle like boats ona pole in the middle of a screen more like a ps2 game.a crap one

I think NFS has had it's day, not what it used to be.

 

[Brazo]

Not getting the best user feedback and reviews is it this game!!!

 

[Turkish]

tbh by watching the videos alone I was put off, the way the cars react seems odd to say the least.

Wish i had brought dirt 2 now.

Got this yesterday and at first i thought it was crap, car handling was really poor but i stuck with it and after a few races i got used to it. It should keep is entertained for a few weeks

 

[Krispwee]

After sticking with it im enjoying it.

As for the drifting then the E36 M3 is the only real option. Don't know what its like with a controller but if anyone is playing this on PC then turn the Logitech settings (G25) to 200 degrees and its a piece of piss. Really fun.

 

[The Ironist]

I like it now, once a car is fully modded they handle like pgr which is good

lol, PGR is like driving milk floats.

i think its a very fun game and very pick up and play.

the problem with most people is that they want it to be forza.........which its not, you'll have to wait a little longer for that one!

Well i haven't read this thread but having just played this i can confirm it is terrible,Handling is still classic NFS comical.
Think ill stick to GT5P.

 

[The Ironist]

Finishes the world tour thing at the end but missed out most of tier 3 and all of tier 4 and at level 27 or something.

I totally agree after returning the game back to asda after an hours play.I have a Ps3 and this is by far the worst game I have ever played.

 

[Gaz.]

Gave it another chance today. It's OK for short blasts I guess, but I could never get into it.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Ar lass bought me this yesterday..I thought what a waste of money!!

 

[rich_1989]

i have it on pc with my G25, and i am a hardcore sim racer, gtr 2, gtr evo, iracing etc. and mine crashes whilst loading the races so i get to do about a race every 30mins after resetting my pc 10 times, but i thought it wasnt bad at all, untill i brought the e46 and did it up to find that its so twitchy trying to drive in a straight line made me think i was playing prostreet on crack again! its the same as pro street, fun when the cars arnt to pokey then EA gets carryed away and lets you have 6000000bhp and as soon as you press nos button you have crashed into everything on the screen 10 times!

f**k you EA!

anyway, if you want some realism, forza is nice, but f**k all to gtr 2 or gtr evo with the G25!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Ive actually found it very enjoyable, on the last series bit and has been filling up the days leading to Fifa 10.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Demo is out tomorrow I think! Will download it & give it a go

 

[Seedy172]

Demo's w**k!! Graphics are pretty, but which bin did they pull the pyschic's engine from!? Spa is undrivable IMO.

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

its a good game!!! just takes 2 or 3 rounds to get used to the steering. Very easy game to play. and play well. im loving it! half game complete in 6 hours lol

 

[micallef1990]

need for speed sucks. sold mine back to blockbuster

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

you just didn't give it chance :rasp: Ive played a hell of alot worse! auto modelista. ( WORST CAR GAME IN HISTORY)

 

[Phill1978]

plesantly suprised with this game.

its not a serious simulation nor is it a half way house like forza 3. but it is really great fun and generally thats what gaming is about.

id like to see it running full whack on a pc tbh the experience would be even more intense.

 

[Brazo]

I liked: When you hit something in 'incar' view and the driver and camera get punched forward!

I disliked: Everything else!

 

[micallef1990]

lol i gave it a chance played to level 20 or so. trying to convince myself that i hadnt wasted my hard earned cash. but i was wrong. auto modelista was fukin awesome

 

[Phill1978]

I know a lot of people are getting into real simualtion now, even the people who used to like project gotham.

to me this handles as fun and arcadey as project gotham, it doesnt have the same game feel or style of course but for arcade fun i rekon it will be worth buying when it become very cheap for a laugh

the horrible handling and game physics stops this game from being anything but fun,do not waste your money on this game.

I downloaded the demo last night and was surprised that I enjoyed it. Lovely graphics and after a lap or two the controls and handling are not bad at all.
