Back in the fall I bought Need for Speed Shift the day it was released. I’ll be honest, I loved the game, butsaw it as something to hold me over until Forza 3 came out about a month after. Shift is the 13th game in what has been a long running EA series. I remember having great fun with the first NFS Hot Pursuit on my Playstation One back in the day. The game has gone through many reboots that I felt after the last iteration of the series, it was time to kill the series all together
NFS: Shift is really the first game in the series to use a simulation style gameplay. The game used real world tracks and cars, along with physics to match. When I first played the game I thought it was awesome, but when Forza came out, I quickly moved on to what I thought was a better game. I recently got the ability to play Shift again, and man was I wrong. Shift is a better game that is far more fun for me to play, and more worthy of my time.
