Video Games Daily: Need for Speed: SHIFT Review

SHIFT is to the Need for Speeds of old what a custom-built racer is to the bling-soaked purple stretch-Humvees that tend to congregate round traffic lights in Oxford Circus.

Forza and GRID still have the edge in terms of raw playability, but EA's old roadster is closing the distance.
