Need for Speed: Shift

Should have ended with NFS: Carbon

My RD would've been a "Carbon copy of ProStreet" if it was appropriate. I'll start with It is not all bad; Facebreaker is another thing.

It seems as they channeled Burnout's driving engine. 'Cause you would rear-end another car and it would fly over your car. I do know Criterion is working on NFS: World Online, never mind though.

Unlike the other NFS games your cars DON'T depreciate. I bought a Porsche Carrera GT cost me $700,000. I checked to see how much it depreciated; none.

One nice thing is the design of the cars; not "Pixel perfect", but pretty damn good.

The environment looks awesome not better than burnout though. Once you finish the NFS: Live there's really nothing keeping you glued to the game...

Who ever reads this rent it first; easy trophies...You might like it if you liked ProStreet or are a NFS fan.
