Electronic Theatre delivers an in-depth review of the first title in the newly readdressed Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed SHIFT, available across Europe now.

Long gone are the neon, sexy cover girls and police chases, and in comes an address towards more realistic Motorsport. Fantasy still has a great bearing on the proceedings, with cars responding in a much more natural manner than the meticulous realism of the aforementioned simulators and rivals flipping at often the slightest of shunts, however this can’t be said to be a detraction from the player’s enjoyment, as Need for Speed SHIFT crosses this accessibility with the often less enthused interior view.
