Returning to the simulation roots, SHIFT marked the first Need for Speed game not made by Black Box since Porsche Unleashed, with UK-based Slightly Mad Studios taking the wheel. It featured nearly 70 cars and was critically-acclaimed, receiving the Editors’ Choice Award from IGN.
Roaring engines, squealing tires, crunching collisions. And above all ... speed, speed, and more speed! Nothing was overlooked to deliver the most realistic racing experience possible.
THINK FAST DRIVE FASTER, Need for Speed SHIFT is an award-winning authentic racing game where players are thrust into the loud, visceral, intense, athletic experience of racing a car on the edge of control from the driver’s perspective. www.hunysoft.blogspot.com
THE DRIVER PROFILE, The all new driver profile is the ultimate extension of the true driver’s experience. This system gives each player a unique persona based on a player’s driving skill and style aggressive or precise. In Need for Speed SHIFT, how you drive is who you are behind the wheel.
PHOTO REAL CARS AND TRACKS, Nearly 70 licensed cars are available including the Pagani Zonda F, Audi RS4, and Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. There is also over 15 real world locations like Willow Springs, Laguna Seca and the Nürburgring!
Need for Speed Shift looks an awful lot like the classic arcade game Pole Position. If you're expecting sunlight glinting off your car's hood and plumes of particle-rendered exhaust, you're bound to be let down. The car sprites are tiny, and the road itself takes up only about a fourth of the game's screen, leaving a lot of viewing area unused. www.hunysoft.blogspot.com The music isn't all that impressive, either. The tinny, repetitive music occasionally sounds like a bunch of yowling cats. Each stage has its own background music, but you'll quickly want to switch to the radio or a CD instead.
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, The cockpit camera view made a return in SHIFT and brought with it beautifully detailed interiors for the game’s more than 70 cars. Feel the true driver’s experience through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the brutal experience of a first person crash dynamic. Need for Speed Shift on Blackberry doesn't look very good, but it conveys the racing action well.
