Need for Speed: Shift

[Chikselog]

Hey! Another 'series' of NFS!..though medyo late na ako dahil nung september pa yata ito ni-release.. May nakasubok na ba nito? Nakakita ako ng bala neto sa PS3..How's the game, anyone?

Medyo unrealistic pero for an NFS maganda na. I suggest getting Forza Motorsport 3 instead for the Xbox 360 miles better!

I'd really like to try it..kakasawa na Carbon and Undercover though di ko pa nalalaro ng husto yung pro-street, dahil di ko siya nagustuhan..I'm more of a street racing gamer

Para siyang Grid. Perhaps Grid has better driving dynamics, pero if you use a steering wheel, NFSS is very generous with driving settings that you can tweak it to get that realistic feel. Provided na interior view gamit mo. Exterior view looks weird to me kasi parang weird yung motion nung kotse. :P

I have the PC version though. Not sure about how it would be kapag PS3 controller.

Cars are great, sounds are great, and this has got to be the best graphics in any pc racing game I've tried. :D

I'm still waiting for Gran Turismo 5.... Taking forever to be relased!

SHIFT's physics and attention to detail are incredible. Better, in fact, in some ways than Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Forza 2. It has good tire modelling and great weight transfer and physics modelling.

The gameplay, though...

It's short. Most people finish it in one week. The AI is aggressive and will sometimes push you off the track. In fact, the game encourages you to push other people off the track. Multiplayer is much the same way.

There's a physics glitch that makes upgraded racecars bounce uncontrollably (fixed in the latest patch) and when you drive over the limit, the game suddenly gets easier.

It gets harder and harder as you drive closer and closer to the car's limits... you will sometimes spin out... but if you purposely go into a corner too fast, it suddenly gets easier to brake (even with the ABS off) or gets very, very easy to powerslide.

It's a shame... besides this inconsistent gameplay behavior, it's a great game. Best to get it on the PC... the graphics are much better, and you can download mods and hacks for it already, to make the game even more realistic.
