Abstract: Need for Speed: Shift is a complete re-think and redesign for Electronic Arts. Now far more of a 'serious' racing simulation game than the (superb and sorely-missed) supercars-with-police-in-hot-pursuit game it used to be, EA nevertheless nails a...

Überzeugende Grafik, Mix aus Arcade und Simulation, OnlineModi, Motivierendes LevelSystem
Ab und zu unfair, Kein „altes“ „Need for Speed“
