AceGamez: Need for Speed Shift Review

AceGamez writes: "The Need for Speed franchise is suffering yet another identity crisis. After the closed circuit disappointment of Pro Street and the technically poor return to open world racing for Undercover, EA have decided to take the series in yet another direction by turning the latest game in the long running franchise into a fully fledged simulator in the mould of the Gran Turismo's and Forza's of this world – well, that's what they sold it as anyway. The fact is, EA and Slightly Mad Studios have actually combined to make Shift's gameplay something of an uncomfortable halfway house between simulation and arcade sensibilities."
