right from the get go gotta say this is by far the worst race game ive ever played! the graphics are on par w nfs pro street but thats bout it not that impressive! the sounds are good the handling was terrible always sliding out on the back end like the car had no grip at all! if you lose 1st place you'll never get it back! i guess the forza games ruined it for me i was expecting an enjoyable race game but got garbage! shift 1 was great really enjoyed it then this happend! stick to forza's n for street racing midnight club la complete are way better than this easily forgetable nightmare of a racing game!

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

I have been playing NFS games since Hot Pursuit came out on PC and original Playstation. The arcade style and raw speed lured me in. You got to flee from police and other drivers while earning money and upgrading cars or buying new ones.
This was the first Shift series game I tried which I bought used for $17.99 from Gamestop.
The game is hard. Not Forza hard. You start out with a dumb car but half of the races you will be forced to use a car you're unfamiliar with and are unable to tune. Good luck not spinning out or crashing into every wall when you're thrust into a Dodge viper that has 4x the HP of any car you've driven to date and is also a Mid-engine Rear-wheel drive vehicle (MR). Also trying to throw the weight of your car is impossible. The Gran Tourismo series nailed this function and Forza is still sluggish.
On many corners they throw stuff in the the way just to make you angry. Try hanging wide to hit your Apex turn perfectly and as soon as you brake for the corner you'll hit a patch of grass and slide headfirst into the wall. Thankfully you can turn car damage off in the options. Also don't bump ANY cars if you're going more than 20 MPH. One little paint swap will pit you into the nearest obstacle and likely flip your car and force you into impossible last place. Not braking on corners will get you smeared into the wall.
The menus are annoying. They went with the fancy spinning wheel and moving screens to select race and options. I'm playing a video game on my Xbox 360 and I just want to upgrade my car. What I'm *NOT* doing is looking at pictures on a smartphone with a touchscreen which is what the interface feels like (too large of pictures and content to fit in one window. I have a 48" TV and I'd like to not see 3 foot pictures of what I'm not interacting with).
Luckily before I snapped this disc in half I found the receipt and promptly returned the game for GRID (from the makers of DiRT) which I've been much happier with. If you want a Forza-like game get FORZA. If you want a NFS game stick with Carbon or Most Wanted (good luck upgrading your M3). And if you love all things about cars get Gran Tourismo which will even teach you a little car history.

just bought the game yesterday and i think its really good. the problem is that no matter what type drive your car is (rear front or all wheel drive) the back end tends to kick out. The damage is unrealistic aswell if you crash into a wall you lose your front wheel and are either forced to quit the race or to finish the race in first gear with three tires and the front end dragging and sparking. But overall a good game.

i bought this game a few weeks ago.there are a lot of tracks in this game with a lot of different configurations for a lot of tracks and a good amount of fantasy tracks witched i really liked about it.the career was fun and challenging at the same time it was just horrible when you had to restart a race and too bad there is no rewind option in the game which really sucks.but if i were a racing fan i would definetly buy this game.the new helmet view i would really reccommand to do races with the helmet view because this is the only game with the new helmet view.

okay my expirence for this game is okay, till i started playing it. about an hour in i started to notice a major flaw in the game(i dont know if i bout the game pre-owned, even though there is not a scratch on it) but the flaw would make hardcore racers mad. the flaw is that when u race it doesnt matter what gear you are in you can go at any speed. i dont know if it is just my game but i would not recommend it. note: i have xboxlive and the newest patch for it, i guess its just the one i got but its getting retured.
