When a game has me so angry about my mistakes and has me trying again and again just to finish the damn race and do better, I know it's a good game (for me) and that I'm enjoying it.

First time I started it, couldn't stop for 4 hours straight, even though I told myself I'd only go as far as to tweak the graphics and controls.

Proper fun racing game, with a degree of difficulty on the car's handling that is.

Ehm, in this "test" lap, is the sky really black, like its night but isn't -.-


That's a bug in the game. Sometimes there is no sky, it's just black. For some reason it doesn't load up.

i have the same problem yet using a PS2 gamepad (which never has issues on other games.. including NFS Undercover), the cars in Shift feel uncontrollable. and I have tried with all assists off and on, no difference. Gonna have my expert NFS brother in law play to see if its me, the gamepad or the game!

lol the controls were buggy too. Selected control nr 3 for joystick, started playing and realized that I was able to accelerate with the joystick but I had to steer with the keyboard and as I was not able to change the controls nor leave the game, I had to alt tab out, open the taskmanager and kill shift.exe ... That sucks :/

You serious? It plays worse and looks worse compared to Forza 2. And Forza 2 is a console game running on ancient hardware.

The crack is just triggering the heuristics scanner on your AV, mate. It's to do with the way Reloaded packaged the .dlls. Just add the file to your exception list, it's harmless.

The options are on the first screen after you have created your player name.

It's at that the point I'd change the graphics settings.

To take screenshots (not with FRAPS) but the built in option, do you need a valid key/account or are they saved to some folder?

AWESOME upgrade from previous NFS titles

Here are my gripes:

1) Seems as though upgrades do not affect your car as much as they should....dropped about 90 grand into my BMW....redid the race.....moved up one spot from previous finish..... and consider myself a pretty decent racer. (WHAT IS NOS ON THE 360 CONTROLLER?)

2) Although the game runs GREAT on my system, this game has load times that rival that of Gothic 3....not exaggerating....race takes about 70 seconds to load.....then about 20 seconds to get back to the menu after winning/losing a race.....hopefully having to do with processing the whole "sit back and watch the cars line up with ladies on the track prior to the red and green lights" Wish there was a way to disable that and have you just start in the car ready to race.... Anyone know of a way to remove the HD video's (not from pre-race but the video's after you win or unlock something....non in-game rendered vids) and still have a working game? (to help load times)

Slap yourself, so I don't have to. It's bullshit comparing a console exclusive game to the PC version of a game.

Forza doesn't even have cockpit mode. And from the vids I've seen it looks good, but Shift looks pretty awesome.

Some tracks have a lower framerate than others, making the game running at 20fps with a 4870 (1gb). C'mon ATI, it's time to release a fix, a fixed fix's fix, a patched fixed fix's fix or whatever you want but fix this shit.

Well my impression was that upgrades do affect your car significantly BUT when you upgrade your car, AI also upgrades theirs..

It's always been like that in NFS games, to keep the difficulty balanced. Otherwise it would be difficult at the start, because they'd have better cars than you, and after full upgrading, it would be too easy for you.

The important thing is that it doesn't have catchup !!! (I think so at least)

This game is so so, I was looking forward to this as im a fan of GRiD.

But im so disappointed, the game lacks any real depth, the same voice over and the annoying race starts are boring after the first 15 times, the racing felt the same as well, the tracks are well made but adding stuff to the side's of the track like Donnington/Silverstome just made it feel artificial and not like i was racing on an old airfield.

I got to the NFS World circuit, and this itself is flawed. I didn't do any of Tier 3&4 just did all of Tier1 most of Tier2 and then sat in the invitational's.

Also a bug in Events means after each race it says you still only have your finishing points (12), after a 5 event race i still only had 12 (Yes i did check to see if it was points awarded for the race or the total points so far, and it said the later).

There are some parts in the game which do stand out, i liked the Cornering aspect, so when leading by a good margin it was time to try and perfect all the corners and maximise the race points. (Indy and the corner coming from the banking what a bastard, about 40 attempts to get that one right)

Some of the achievement's/awards system just seems to be bolted on and tbh has no real significance to the game at all, it just doesn't mean anything, i just skipped all the rubbish and after a few races it was pretty much the same, just felt useless.

Game runs sweet though, didn't notice any slow down, or rough edges maxed out everything, did have a few Stopped Responding but a quick reload after removing the 2 annoying EA startup bik's wasn't a issue.

Just another Arcade racer game with nothing really added to keep it alive for long.

Anyway my 2p's worth....
