I played it Wednesday and quite enjoyed it. The best NFS was NFS Most Wanted. 45mins of adrenalin Police chases kept me entertained. Carbon and Undercover were shit imo

Im not a fan of racing sims as I wanna drift round corners at 200+ mph like NFS Most Wanted.

not being able to costomise the controls is doing my head in

used to the classic gt controls,,its just like any first person shooter,i always revert them to classic c.o.d controls.


its great to look at tho,and fun.

Im the same, Most Wanted was the best NFS game my a mile. Just bought it or the PSP aswell. If you parked on the roof in the bus station, the cops would just bash into the walls and the chase could last for ages. Was a bug in the game.

Just bought Shift yesterday (Ł37 in sainsburys) & so far, im impressed. Still thing the NFS brand should stick to police chases etc..

takes some getting used to but quite fun really, gotta be gentle to be fast if you know what i mean :S

three stages of mods, loads of customisable handling/power settlings.
three interior mod stages, 2 or 3 bodykits depending on the car. kits are usually based on actual kits or race versions, and once youve bought everything else you can buy a works conversion which makes it like a full on race car.

escos update;

Ive uploaded my pics so far onto my photobucket account. The thumbnail looks like it should (same as MyNFS thumbnail) but still the same odd colours when you enlarge it.

Also, does anybody else get the wierd bouncy problem. Espically on the tier 4 invertation Porsche Carrera GT @ Spa race going up eau rouge.
