Need for Speed: Shift
Expert reviews and ratings
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...
