Need for Speed: Shift
Imagine the experience of being a race driver. The adrenaline rush of driving at breakneck speeds, the pressure of fierce competition, the fear of losing control, the intense concentration and athleticism needed to harness the power of speeding chrome and steel. This is the True Driver’s Experience of Need for Speed ™ SHIFT. Through the combination of perception-based G-forces, an ultra-realistic first-person cockpit view, an accurate, accessible physics-based model and the all-new, brutally disorienting crash dynamic, you'll be thrust into the driver’s seat amid the chaotic noise, intensity, and physical and emotional demands of the race.

I bought this game for my 12 year old son for Christmas. Although I know nothing about video games he seems to enjoy it. he races his cousins via live. -- shift
I have been playing the need for speed games since they were first introduced on the PSone. Over the years the game has evolved and changed. This iteration is by far the best it has been in recent history. It combines beautiful graphics with excellent physics. The tiered advancement system is nice, along with the fact coming in first is NOT the most important part of the race, but how you drive the race is. If you are looking for a game like NFS Carbon or Underground, look elsewhere. I'm glad they have finally stopped with the immature street racing games that have populated the series since last generation; this is by far a step up and in the right direction. -- I feel the need for a Great game again!
I agree with some of the other reviewers. I want the police chases and the racing though town. While this is a great game, it is not what I expect from the NFS franchise. -- Nice Game, Great Graphics, but it is not Need for Speed!
This is by far, one of the best games that I have ever experienced. The game has unbelievable graphics and the cockpit camera view makes it even more fun. I bought this game with the Microsoft Racing Wheel which I highly recommend because it really makes you feel like you are behind the wheel.
