While this change is drastic compared to the series' arcade racing roots, make no mistake they made the transition almost flawlessly and retained all of the fun. Need for Speed Shift not only has enough realism to satisfy the racing sim fans the series never pulled in before, but it also does a fine job of helping the long time fans - those that might not particularly like the racing sim genre - to get into Shift, so it doesn't alienate the series' core fans either."
