Need for Speed SHIFT is an all-new simulation racing IP that combines the true drivers experience with real-world physics, pixel-perfect car models, and a wide range of authentic race tracks. Need for Speed SHIFT takes players in a different direction to create a simulation experience that replicates the true feeling of driving high-end performance cars.
Players are thrust into the loud, visceral, intense, athletic experience of racing a car on the edge of control from the drivers perspective through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the brutal experience of a first person crash dynamic. Need for Speed SHIFT features an accurate, accessible physics-based driving model that allows you to feel every impact, every change of track surface and every last bit of grip as you push yourself to the edge.
The all-new driver profile is the ultimate extension of the true drivers experience. This system gives each player a unique persona based on a players driving skill and style - aggressive or precise. Driver profile impacts how a player unlocks cars, overall career progression and online matchmaking. In Need for Speed SHIFT, how you drive is who you are behind the wheel.
Need for Speed SHIFT is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios in collaboration with Black Box and senior vice president Patrick Soderlund at EA Games Europe. Slightly Mad Studios includes developers and designers that worked on the critically acclaimed games GT Legends and GTR 2.

Easy to learn, very well balanced, it's all good Excellent game, one of the best of the series.
Can go from an easy driving session, just for fun, to something more serious, with great degree of realism.
Very well done, it's hard to get tired, even when playing on the Sixaxis/Dualshock.
HIghly recommended! You won't miss it, it's a sure purchase.

Amazing Racing Game If you like racing game, this is the game.
It's a little bit difficulty in the beginning, but after some
races you are able to run as a master.
A great game to play at home or to play online with friends.

Probably The Best Casual Racing Game This one is worth the hype. There is a big gap between casual, arcade style racers and racing simulators. That gap has just been filled.
Your driving experience can be tailored to whatever level you wish, from a complete breeze (with full assistance in steering, braking, turning, and a visible racing line) to no assists (basically brutal, almost sim level difficulty where the cars react as they would).
The career part of the game is incredible with a steep learning curve and many varied styles of racing. These include many race types, the challenging drift sections, one-on-one grudge matches and each and every one of these gives you experience points to level up, stars that unlock races and cash to spend on cars and car upgrades. This is provided you finish in the top three and/or fullfill certain race conditions (e.g. spinning out opponents, reaching top speed, taking perfect corners).
All in all, this is one racing experience that is incredibly addictive and challenging if you want it to be.
immersive Very good immersion, great sounds, great feeling, physics are ok for the slower cars.
AI is ok, but generally follow their line and bump u off if you're in the way.
Online play is also very fun, but be patient as there are a lot of ppl with only purpose of ramming. (as with all online car racing)
It does get fairly hard for the faster cars tho, if you're leaving the physics/difficulty on hardest. but the low/super fast car bounces like crazy on some tracks, wether realistic or not (probably is as going full speed over a bump at 150kmh on a very low car isn't going to be pleasant)
A few bugs annoying with tuning, and online play, still to be ironed out by EA. with a patch to be released soon.
All in all great filler till GT5 comes out, but i'm enjoyin online immensely.
