    The Need For Speed series has moved away from cop chases down grimy urban subways and back onto the race tracks to rediscover your driving skills. There's more realism in the cockpit but there's a clear arcade bias to keep you on the track as...

    Need for Speed is a spectacular racing series known for its high octane thrills. With the series’ latest release of SHIFT, the popular franchise doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon....

    After playing Shift for many hours, it strikes me as odd that this game is a product of Electronic Arts. It feels like a game made with a limited budget by a small but, talented outfit. It can be a fun game, and at rare moments where everything...

    The Need for Speed games started out on the PC, and after a grueling yearly cycle for the last five-plus years and sales starting to dwindle, EA decided it was time to change up one of their longest-running franchises. Theyve split everything up...

    No doubt about it, drafting in British developers Slightly Mad Studios has revitalised the series and turned it into a serious contender. Of course, it helps that Need for Speed SHIFT has clearly used last year’s king of the road,...

  • International Review By Klikk on May 31, 2010

    Need for Speed-serien har ikke verdens beste rykte, og derfor har Electronic Arts forsøkt seg på noe helt nytt. Med Need for Speed: Shift får vi et spill kun fokusert på baneracing, skapt av simulatorspesialistene i Slightly Mad...
