Title: NFS: Shift
Post by: Flipperk on October 05, 2009, 08:54:43 PM
Got the game last week, and I must say they did a REALLY GREAT job with the realistic driving. I must dare state its close to Grand Turismo   :uhoh


I am really enjoying the career mode and online, I would suggest a def buy on this game  :aok

I have the PS3 hooked to a 46in LED, really stoked about getting it, what types of modes online?

Rented it the other week and didn't want to take it back, might look into buying it.  The wife will probably end up getting it for my b-day though.  The career was awesome, I was steadily working through Tier II and finally had a 2nd place finish that broke my 1st place streak.  My little Nissan 350 was a little hard to control once I hit all 3 tiers of mods to it.  The thing was just too fast to hold the track, I really had to ease into it and couldn't smack the gas coming out of turns, pretty realistic.  The graphics are amazing too just wish they could cut down a little on the load time.

Is NFS finally allowing the cars to get smashed up? I was never into racing games, but I remember that was a major complaint about the series going ALL the way back to the original.

Yes.

Would this be a good game for my 5 year old?  I'm thinking he would like a fun racing game.  Ideally, I would like something somewhat educational if possible.

There is no cussing, so yes it would be appropriate.   The rating is "E" (Everyone) and my 8 year old son enjoys it immensely.

Yes, its pretty awesome too, a high-speed crash will nearly knock out the driver. The screen goes very dark grey, the heavy panting sets in, and then when you come to the windshield is cracked and the front is smashed in.

pretty awesome

Only thing I dislike about it is the fact that they dropped the free drive aspect...it's all track courses.

Yeah true, I'm just saying from my standpoint...otherwise the game is GREAT.

Sure hope it makes up for ProStreet.  Haven't missed a NFS since I started in about '97 and that is the only one to kinda disappointed me yet (yet to finish it).  Now to re-install my old NFS III, High Stakes and Porsche unleashed. :D

Porsche Unleashed was the Best until this one IMO.   Hot Pursuit wasn't as good as NFS II SE was.

For those that want to know just how nice NFS: Shift graphics are, compare it to the good ol NFS games. :D
Would use Porsche Unleashed, but my disc is messed up. :(
