Need For Speed Shift is Worth Playing
After renting out the new Need for Speed Shift I came back rather impressed. Some of the last additions of the game have really not been very good at all. The last couple of Need For Speed games have been very poor indeed and shift is nice way of starting the series from scratch. In all honestly it did need an overhaul.
This game has actually got a chance of competiting with the new Forza game which is on the way later this month.
The game itself is long lasting indeed, with hours needed to be spent on it to gain access to cars and to finish all of the races. The online modes are also going to take you a lot of time.
This game isn’t about used cars but more about the custom made models from the likes of Mercedes, Ford and every other car maker you can think of.
Need for Speed in terms of fun does actually seem a lot better than Forza but having only played the demo of Forza it might be a bit too early to tell. Forza has a bigger selection of choice when it comes to cars and also seems to have a far superior graphics engine.
EA have concentrated on the driver himself and have tried to make you feel like the driver. Everything in the game is supposed to make you feel like the driver, any crash you make will turn the screen blurry and even go black and white. This is quite a nice effect as not many games have actually done this to a very good standard and this time EA have seemingly pulled it off.
All you need to do is play the two demo’s for the games and decide for yourself, you could always think about getting them both!
