For me a real surprise hit

When I last Need for Speed ​​Shift got and put it for the first time in my X-Box, I was pleasantly surprised in what direction Need For Speed ​​has developed. Shift the first Need for Speed ​​Porsche since then that I have to set again. All other parts I have left.
Shift was with me a pure impulse purchase, because I have not been informed me about the game and not the planned intention had to buy me. Only one video I saw before release. Due to the spontaneous purchase and that I have not previously infromiert me of the game, I was not influenced any expectations that could later be disappointed.

Now we come to actually play.

Early in the game you will start a new career, which starts with a test drive in a given car. This Testrunnde is really only to get to know and define the control which driving aids and what you have to adjust Gegnerschweirigkeitsgrad to get the best for themselves drivability. Here falls on directly, that shift is in comparison to the other Need for Speed ​​simulation-heavy parts but. By selecting the driving aids can be a good mix of arcade and simulation racing game create.
In my opinion, but the cars stuern a bit too rough and it costs quite a bit of exercise to keep them on track and to get clean by the curve.
On the whole it can be said, however, that after a certain period of familiarization damn much fun at high speed to heat over the routes. This Geschwindikeitsgefühl is supported by the fantastic Cockitansicht, indians above a certain speed, the view is verschommen whereby the Geschindigkeitsgefühl's more to bear.
For graphics it can be said that the cars are shown super detallreich. The routes it is different, some make a really great impression other hand, see a bit dreary. The best thing about the car is but the cockpit view, the only bursting with detail. Throughout makes Need for Speed ​​Shift visually but a really good impression and is nice to look at and it is a super racing feeling on.
Even the familiar Tuining and the block of Upgades must not errors of course. With enough money you earned druch race victories, one can rebuild his small street racer for infernal machine, and sweep a breakneck speed on the routes. You need the money to sign up for the career mode new car purchase with which you can then participate in higher Events. Nteue Events you unlock over stars that can be collected per Renenn. There are stars for Präzison (clean driving, clean Überholmannöver .....) and star for aggressiveness (contact when overtaking, opponents come off the track ........). If you have enough stars collected, you go as a driver on a level and can participate in new events. Personally, I find this kind of career really great and I love it super Spaß.Hier much divergence of views but also determines Auseinader because gameplay is a matter of taste.

With all the positive things there are for me but even minor criticisms. What bothers me a bit that damn long load times between the Menu and the race. Clear you get used to eventually legendary, but they had a bit shorter turn already könnne to time many races just two rounds dauern.Außerdem I would not complain about the Ki that it is too focused on the racing line and man but often times from which slid off the track wird.Da's only one counter-holding, is indeed a shame about the expensive cars, but what can you do ;-)
Furthermore, I have so the Eidnruck that one is to win all events do not really rely on it to buy new scales. The available scales are indeed divided into individual stages, but I suspect so that you can win one scales all events with a tuned up to the stop level. Here I would have to have to buy me more compulsion desired new cars to be successful.

But my final conclusion is made postiv. Need For Speed ​​Shift is a great racing game with small weaknesses that ordnetlich fun. Who evening lusst a few rounds with rasate great speedsters on the streets to die, which I can only say strike. Sure you may here expect the degree of realism not Forza 3, but still sophisticated is Shift and the racing feeling is simulated here too well.
