Need For Speed Shift is worth a go

November 23, 2009 · Filed Under Video Games 

After just getting in after returning the rental copy of Shift I have to say I might have to go out again to buy it. The previous additions to the game have not been brilliant. The last one that was worth a ten minute go was Undercover and that was at best, okay.

This game has actually got a chance of competiting with the new Forza game which is on the way later this month.

The playability of the game really is quite brilliant with many hours having to be spent finishing all of the races, tuning the cars to suit your needs and playing it on the various difficulties. The online modes are also going to take you a lot of time.

This game isn’t about used cars for sale but more about the custom made models from the likes of Alfa Romeo, Volkswagen and every other car maker you can think of.

In terms of playing for fun , Need For Speed did seem a lot better than Forza but then again I have only managed to play the Forza demo. Forza has a bigger selection of choice when it comes to cars and also seems to have a far superior graphics engine.

This year EA have actually put all of their focus into the driver, although the cars still look brilliant. 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.

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!
