Need For Speed Shift is one of the series racing game, NFS. Here is a review about NFS Shift and 9game wish you will like it.
The newest installment of the once-venerable Need for Speed franchise is NFS: Shift. In this game, EA has decided to shift (no pun intended) the Need for Speed series towards more of a simulation experience instead of the arcade style that has been the hallmark of the series up to this point. EA has included many adjustable features to customize the difficulty in order to make the game accessible to all driving fans, from novice to hard-core simulation-lover.
The game has many modes of play that should be familiar to any long-time NFS fan (or any fan of the genre, for that matter). There are the standard circuit races and point-to-point sprint races, and a drift mode is included (of course). There are also time attack challenges (the driver with the lowest lap time when the timer counts down wins) and an eliminator race where the last-place driver is eliminated at the end of every lap until there's only one left.
NFS: Shift introduces a “Driver Level” system. As you do certain things while driving, such as drafting, passing an opponent, or knocking an opponent off the track, you are awarded “Profile Points” (experience points for you RPG fans). There are two types of Profile Points—Precision and Aggression. Precision Points are awarded for driving precisely (see what I did there?), by doing things such as taking the “correct” line through a corner, cleanly passing an opponent without collision, or staying on the track. Aggression Points, on the other hand, are earned for knocking other cars off the track, drafting, and sliding around corners. Having more Precision Points than Aggression ones marks you as a Precision Driver, while having more Aggression Points marks you as an Aggressive one. The aggregate sum of these Points determines your Driver Level. As you level up by earning more points, you earn extra money, unlock more wheels for your cars, expand the size of your garage, and get invited to special “Invitational” events. At certain level milestones, your “driver symbol” is modified to reflect how precise or aggressive you are.
You advance through the game by earning stars. Stars are awarded for placing in the top three (“the podium”), for earning a specific number of Profile Points in a given race, or for fulfilling other specific objectives in the race, such as running a clean lap or hitting a certain speed. The setup of the game means that you don't have to place first in every race to advance and allows you to skip races that you either don't like or aren't good at. After earning a certain number of stars, the next tier of races (and vehicles) opens up. You can either buy a higher-tier vehicle to compete in the new races or upgrade a lower-tier vehicle.
NFS: Shift features popular cars of the day in 4 “tiers.” Tier 1 cars include cars such as the Scion tC, the BMW 135i, and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Tier 4 cars include such monsters as the Pagini Zonda, the McLaren F1, and the almighty Bugatti Veyron. When you first start the game, you'll only have access to the first tier, but as you earn stars, higher tiers become available. The ultimate goal of the game is to make it into the NFS Live World Tour.
There are several real tracks included, such as Laguna Seca, and lot of other tracks, too, some featured in earlier games in the franchise, such as NFS: Prostreet.
