I like the fact that there is no music. Only thing is during replays you can't turn the music off, which is a small complaint but I wish that you could. The music is pretty horrid.
*For those that are saying it is too easy, crank up the difficulty. If you play on Pro mode and turn off the driving line and turn up the CPU AI to medium it is very challenging. If you still find it too easy then turn up the CPU AI to hard. Good luck winning a race on hard. Medium for me is perfect. It is real challenging to win without it being impossible.
I tried playing online last night and it was pretty awesome. I love the Driver Duel game mode. The CPU picks a random car and a random track that both players have to use. I really like that. It takes away advantages of the cars, and really sees who the best driver is. I was able to win a race with a Nissan 240SX and it felt pretty damn good because I haven't driven that car before.Comment

Re: Need for Speed Shift Available, Post Impressions Here
I am not a hrdcore "sim" guy so I many not be the best point of reference...but the comparison I can give you is that of the PGR series(although I will say it is definitly more sim like than that series.) The whole "feel" of it reminds me of PGR however. Sim enough where it REALLY sucks you in and makes you pay attention to your car and tuning and such but not to the point where it turns off the casul racer guy (like me). That help any?Comment

Any thoughts on the car list?
I keep hearing how great the game is, which i think it is from the looks of it.
But I am just super leary of 60 bucks for 60 cars.
I love all of the stuff that appears to make the game great, but I really really love cars and think there should be more...Comment

I just played - and WON - my first ONLINE race. It was particularly gratifying because my opponent not only spun me out , but he then proceeded to run straight into me HEAD ON (I was facing him). Somehow I caught up to him and after he took a turn way to wide and spun out in the dirt - I beat him by roughly 5 seconds.
Oh yeah - I was thumping my chest

1) Yes - But the options are very limited. You can basically choose the color of the car or pick a preset "package" of deigns. You can also add sponsor decals to your car as you unlock them.
2) Yes it does.Comment

Picked it up today...
Fun game. Not too sim and not too arcade. Perfect blend for me.

Re: Need for Speed Shift Available, Post Impressions Here
I'm not sure if this is a good Forza or terrible PGR.
More HUD options would be nice. You can only get rid of the mirror,get rid of everything or get rid of everything 'cept a digital speedometer wich isn't any help. I only want some of it gone and to keep the regular speedometer.
Sound is great but I'm not impressed by the graphics at all. Maybe I've been spoiled by DiRT 2.Comment

I think I am also spoiled by DiRT 2 as well (and GriD to a degree) - Shift is nice, but the lack of car damage is a bit of a turn off for me. Although it does have some cosmetic damage modeling, there is not enough for my liking. I was barreling down the track at around 110 mph and rear ended another AI car and it did next to nothing to either of our cars. Over all, Shift is a nice experience, but I will wait for Forza 3 to roll up to see what is offered. Otherwise, I could truly see spending a purchase on DiRT 2 for my driving fix -Truly Blessed -Comment
