Need for Speed ​​is alive!

First anticipate; the game is great!
After for me Need for Speed ​​was as good as dead with Pro Street and Undercover, since these parts were just so bad that they were not worth the blank, to which they were pressed me shift completely convinced. Compared to Race Driver: GRID, which I have previously played, NFS Shift is just a tad bit better, especially in terms of graphics and the engine sound. I play as well as previously in GRID, without driving aids with a steering wheel (Logitech Driving Force GT) and the driving experience with Shift feels in my opinion more realistic to. The Force Feedback reacts here simply realistic, because the car is really "defend" when trying for example to accelerate out of a bend too early out. About the damage model is debatable; you drive with 200 in a wall, so the car is after that to go in the area. Of course, somewhat diminishes the realism, but was in other games so far otherwise. Graphically Shift is good to very good. Cute Verwischeffekte and very detailed cars contribute to this. For me, Need for Speed ​​Shift far the best racing game (let's see what Dirt 2 may) 2009. In grades I would rate the game as follows:

Graphics: 2+
Sound: 1-
Control: 2
Gameplay: 2
Realism: 2-

Rating: 2 +
