‘Need for Speed’ may be best remembered as an arcade, chase ‘em up that revolves around evading the cops and burning some serious rubber. However ‘Shift’ lives up to its name by shifting over to a much more realistic driving simulation concept.
Designed by actual racing drivers, ‘Need for Speed: Shift’ is accurate down to the last detail, including a short gasp of breath before a crash as well as small head movements to look in rear view mirrors. ‘Shift’ features 67 cars from Golf GTIs to the McLaren F1.
