thank you there... they said it's a good game (i just don't like the narrator, cause it's seems he can't explain the reviews smooth and clearly :D)

but i need something from the gamer itself, like prostreet, gamers give a lower score than the reviewers

for me prostreet is an average game, nice graphics but there's bug and the concept of GT racing feels good with japan environtment

what i need from good racing game is:

-good graphics

-good controls

burnout paradise is a nice graphic racing games and the effect of crash is awesome, but i don't really like that kind of game, it's just for fun, not something i can show off...

stories in racing games is like eating water.couly

And it has to be fun also, if not a simulator of course. Story is not so important in my opinion in racing games.

I think he wanted to say Most Wanted, but imo it sucked, and the story didn't do anything to make it better, I actually believe that a story in a racing game ruins it, it takes away the fun of "driving"...you get "OMG that guy stole my money...chase him"...ok...why? I ant to have fun and drive like I should, participate in races, etc, why should I care about your money, lady?...These sort of things are some of the reasons for NFS's decline (imo).

Grid is extremely easy, I bet you just didn't care after one or two races, because it seems hard at first but after 7 or 8 races it's as easy as it gets.

Gotta agree. After you've played 10 racers, be it sim or arcade, they all start to get old and samey. Story is sadly lacking in racing games.

While not totally a racing game, Interstate'76 was the best car game ever in part due to the outstanding production value.

The worst problem is the car selection, sure the anime/manga makes the AE86 look awesome, but it isn't really that great and many people don't like it, especially now since most care only about supercars, but anyway I'd really love such a game.

What story line is there to modern racing? A heroic struggle against the forces of environmentalists? To fight as a Knight of the Holy Petroleum order? Or mayhaps a daring rescue of the combustion engine from the claws of the electric engine?

Racing games don't need a story. If you get bored from racing because it has no story then you aren't a true racer. You race for the thrill of driving and the competition, not some backwash story. Otherwise, nobody would be driving 200 laps in NASCAR or race for 24 hours in Le Mans.

That reviewer sounds like a moron.

"It even has a decent cockpit view, if you're into that sort of thing"

That has to one of the all time stupidest things ever said in a review of a game about driving. "If you're into that sort of thing"?.

I knew there was a reason I never go to GB for reviews - and this is a perfect example.

yeah... so much argument for the reviews... thanks guys... i need this thread to know the truth from the game... and the gamers who've played it 8)

I don't buy a racing game for the story. I buy a racing game for the adrenaline rush I can get from pretending I'm driving, white-knuckled, in an extremely fast race car. All of the NFS games with "stories" have been very dim-witted stories at best. I see no need for a plot if a racing game delivers the thrill expected of a racing game. The dim-witted plots of the previous NFS games only managed to dillute the fun of video game racing, in my opinion.

Well I've just played it for about 3 hours now. What I'll say is this.... -It's lots of fun. No, really. You'll really like it. -When I plug in my 360 Controller, it does not conveniently change to a controller schematic as in GRiD. An annoyance yes, but not a biggie. -The steering of the cars is fantastic, but some cars struggle to steer. I will have to go drive a BMW to really find out how bad a Bimmer's steering is. -It is relatively easy getting money to get cars. No, not relatively, very easy. But it takes away from grinding at events over and over for cash so I dunno. -As a typical racing game, controller is the way to go. I don't own a wheel so not sure if it is compatible. -The car damage isn't very spectacular like GRiD or another infamous games. It is passable but sorta wants you craving for more. -Navigating the menu is a bit awkward (you have to press numbers to access sub-menu's like how your car looks and such). But apart from that, it is pretty fun. I just wish that it was more controller friendly. k0r3aN_pR1d3

How are races organized? Are there charts/leaderboards? Teams? Classes? Seasons? Or is it completely arcade-like, i.e. you just have an assortment of events, you pick one at random, and it drops you right on race day in a random grid position? Grid made a pretty half-hearted attempt at having some sort of organization, I'd hate if it was even less organized than that.

Fans of racing games have been waiting for a decent cockpit view for years. If Jeff doesn't know that - he's an idiot - I don't care how long he's been reviewing games.

yes... a realism in cockpit, like shifting gears, turning steer, mirror reflection and such things...

Just had a go on it. "Need for speed" is right, it's slooooow. Add to that unskippable cut-scenes and long loading times and I can't see this one being much fun, I'll give it a few more goes before I sell it but it's not looking good.

Can anyone recommend a fast, good, fun driving game, I don't mind arcade or deep sim, whatever.

All NFS from Most Wanted was more and more expensive in budget, and becoming more terrible and borring in playing. I m sure that Shift will be the same **** in different bag.winstons21

don't judge it too soon my friend... :D

many people call NFS Shift as NFS Sh*t... i hope they're wrong...

I kinda want to get this for PC as it's been a good while since I've played any good sim racer. Also, it'll give me an excuse to get a wheel.

The demo is now available.
