Need For Speed: Shift

Very nice graphic with great interiors but driving physics are lacking. It was fun when it came out. the helmet cam was very innovative.

The perfect game if you are just looking to run into other cars! It can take some skill, but I haven’t managed it yet (I am a chronically terrible driver on games).

This game is pretty much Need for Speed's version of Forza motorsport.

I had this game back in 2011, but loaned it out only for it to never return. I remembered it becoming a favorite of mine (on the PS3) over GT5. I guess the simplicity of the menu navigation and the invites and events were more engaging to me. I realized the other day I no longer had this game and wished to play it again so I sought out to find another copy and bought it for both the PS3 (again) and the 360. After briefly playing it again, I remembered how much I really did enjoy it (even after all this time and originally playing with the force feedback wheel, but now with the controller). Great game! IDK if I'll try shift 2, doesn't have as good of reviews, but I probably will if I find it cheap enough. I mean now I bought both copies for less than what I paid for my single original copy, and my replacements were new as well. No more online, but that's OK, the game itself is interesting enough!

Bought this for my son. Was disappointed that there are "scantily clad" sign girls included. Seems difficult to find a fun, reasonably realistic car racing game that doesn't have this element. So, played once...which means it was a waste of money.
