MaxConsole Review: Need for Speed: SHIFT

Its the fact then when hitting over 150mph the car feels like it's ice, like someone else said it more unstable than Dirt 2 on the rally stages.

I just dont agree with what you have said, downforce means that you have extra grip, but that doesn't help the car steer or stick to the road at speed. I should not be having to tap the handbrake to bring the car round when it's a RS4, that cra isnt designed to do that.

IMO this game is trying to be something it's not. Its not a sim racer it's an arcade racer.

Whatever mate, it works for me, and thats all that matters, as for the handling feeling like ice, yeah so what, its a game, its meant to be a fun experience, and there is nothing more fun, then drifting a supercar around a sharp corner, smashing sideways into another driver, sending them into a spin, just don't take the game too seriously.

Game is great but only in low performance cars.

When using supercars difficulty is raised ridicoulously, where small mistake causes total lost of control.

This was propably caused by marketing decisions where they decided, on top of everythuing, to make game look stunning with that fast moving cars feel. But unfortunatelly this only raises level of dificulty. Game is worth only 3 hours of play, untill reaching supercars tiers.

completed both forza games with 100% achievements and i can tell this wasn't case there.
it was just fun in FM2 to progress in car classes without feeling like game becoming more dificult thanks to all driving aids implemented like in real racing cars.

And i bet reviewers doesn't bother to play longer to notice that, or assumed you can fix these cars with tunning. But there is no tunning option for some races, for example in manufacturer category.

No suprise there, these marketing decisions are common in most EA games.

Bit of a MEH game to be honest.

Good review i think the game was great exept for the drift part.

I'll go pick this one up.
