Good game but...

[scooter1265]

Shift is probably the best NFS game I've played in a long time, but there are only a couple of problems. For agressive drivers, like me, the game is a hard transition from GT, but some stuff is just plain bull. If you run into a wall, it sucks you into it for a good 2 seconds. Your car bounces WAY too much after going over a bump or hitting a wall. It's like a race car with hydraulics. Not a pretty site.
Next topic: those stupid grunts and blurs.
Nice addition, but I really think they should be able to put them on or off. I love the games that show off their damage. I hate how when you hit somebody, you can't see what happens. It sucks.
Overall, this is a great sub for GT5 if you don't have a 360, or don't want one, like me. I like Shift. I give it a 7/10 on the scale of being close to Gran Turismo

I havent tried the full version... so based only from what i tried on the DEMO,

i think the developers of Shift did a great job... AND YET... it is still enough to steer me away from GT series..

I personally think Shift bounces around too much ... much like your Mom's Camry

maybe that can be solved with stiffer springs and damper, but i havent got that chance with the DEMO.

The above along the noise from the driver and the blur at high speed... (nice try) but they are too much distractions for me... they make me lose focus on the actual driving and therefore takes away the pleasure of racing...

i will give it another try and see if those things will still affect me or not, or will i be able to ignore those additions... (which really proves that i dont need those features... )

Peace Out
