MEGamers.com: Need for Speed: Shift Review

"Based on the history of the series, some of the current generation of gamers most likely cannot recall the last time they played a good NFS game, let alone a decent one. Need for Speed was the racing game to buy back in the days, grabbing gamers’ attention on the PC and Playstation for a while. Before games like Forza, GT and Project Gotham, the first couple of NFS games captured the imagination of racing fanatics worldwide. After a while though, and with a sequel nearly every year, the series took a back seat to other big names in the genre. GT became the series to beat on the Playstation, with Forza and PGR taking turns impressing on the Xbox. NFS Shift comes with a new developer, format and direction compared to recent releases in the series. Is all of that a change to the better though?"
