Need For Speed: Shift (PS3) Reviews

After the previous couple of need for speed games, which I found to be disappointing and far too arcade like and not realistic enough for my liking, I was a bit dubious of buying this game. Its safe to say now im very glad I purchased this game. The game starts with a practise lap in a random car to establish your skill level and then sets ...  Read the complete review

Playing this game I can barely believe that is is Need for Speed. This is quite the departure from the games before it and we benefit as a result. The game has received a considerable overhaul. As superficial as this is, UI have to say that this games graphics knocked my socks off. I was very impressed. The cars and tracks are ...  Read the complete review

Need for Speed has certainly changed direction in a good way to what it was before. Need for Speed Shift comes with new realistic graphics, new realistic features,more better tracks and a bunch of new features so you can enhance your car to the way you want it to be. The quality of the graphics first of all are just too amazing in the game. All ...  Read the complete review

Need for speed shift is the new release of the game in the long running need for speed series. The original concept of need for speed (and why it was so good) was street racing around cities, usually with fellow street racers and the police in tow. This new need for speed is less of an arcade game like the old need for speeds were, ...  Read the complete review

Did someone in the EA office come in one day and reminded everyone that they have not done a NFS game this year? An absolute mess of a game... I cannot believe that such a great driving game; Colin McRae DIRT 2 and Need For Speed SHIFT came out in the same year, let alone month! DIRT 2 is miles ahead (No pun intended) in terms of graphics, physics ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a fan of the Need For Speed series, and was disappointed to find that this is not like the rest of the series. This is not an arcade racer like the previous games, this is much more of a simulator with realistic handling and physics, etc. If I had known that, I wouldn't have got this game, however, it was the most ...  Read the complete review

This game is a breath of fresh air after the failing Undercover and ProStreet. The gameplay is very good, and the game is quite realistic but the handling isn't really that good, with lots of drifting. The graphics are very good, with realistic looking cars and hardly any graphic glitches such as framerate problems. However, they ...  Read the complete review

Let me start by saying that I have never been a fan of Need For Speed games but this game got me intrigued when I saw some preview footage and I have been fairly impressed with this offering. The game sees you start out firstly on a test track whereby there are decisions taken about your cars handling and transmission setup and this is ...  Read the complete review

Overall this a very enjoyable game. The graphics are good and you get a good sence of speed. When you first play the game you race around a test track. This helps you to decide what type of transmision you want to use. You can also have coloured arrows on screen that tell you when corners are coming up, green for gentle, yellow for sharper and ...  Read the complete review
