You brought a porch?

Finally picked this up. Never really been much of a racing game fan, but this game is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely a blast, and the cockpit view is stunning.

Great purchase.

I finally got a chance to play this, and everything looks great. There's a great game in here, but ******* the oversteer. It feels like I'm playing PGR4 on the ice. The AI cars follow their line perfectly, while I'm even going slower than them screeching and smoking tires.

I've got to tier 3 regardless, so you can eventually adapt to this stuff.

game is ok, but seems arcade to me. Overall cool game, but I'm more into sim racers..

I'm mostly into sim racers myself, but I'm glad I picked this one up. It's got an indescribable pull on me that I'm sure will hold up until Forza 3 is released. I've found one race that really gets me going in this game. If you guys haven't tried this, give it a go... set up a "Quick Race" at Hazyview .26 mile oval, using the Ford Escort Cosworths, with 10 laps, a 16 car field, and at least medium difficulty. I'm having an absolute blast with that race! No one could have ever convinced me that such a race would be fun, but I've gotten more out of that than anything else in the game!

I'm mostly into arcade racers like Burnout, but this game is a nice mix. I have it rented this weekend and am having a lot of fun with it.

I finally completed the tier system this week and won the NFS Live World Tour. What a ride it was!

Was a great time, and a good mix to get me back into racing games again. Without a NASCAR game I have to find my fix somewhere.

I am having a blast with this game just figured out how to do the steering trick thingy.. Totally loving this game. Anyone have a favorite track they prefer over another?

Re: Need for Speed Shift Available, Post Impressions Here

I'm really enjoying the demo but will go try out the full version (with GT wheel) next weekend before deciding if it's a purchase.

Re: Need for Speed Shift Available, Post Impressions Here

Ambush Canyon is one frustrating track, especially for cars that have undergone the weight reduction kits... There are two turns in which you traverse from one road at an intersection into another... The thing is that they're both at different levels... You could defintely take these turns pretty quicky if the roads were level but in this game you'll hop off the ground like a Mario Kart jumping drift and get sent into the wall. Very challenging and frustrating to see your opponent AI take the same turns quickly while you get the shaft. Ugh.

Re: Need for Speed Shift Available, Post Impressions Here

the ******* AI is getting quite annoying, and it's like EA captured the souls of online douchebags. I'll be racing next to one of them for a clean overtake, only for them to abruptly turn into me punting me off the track into the dirt. Plus they brake to damn much. I do welcome how they make "human" mistakes like going too fast in a turn and sliding off the track or causing wrecks though.

I really want to like this game, but all the little things adding up. There's god awful loading, screwed up controls, even silly things EA should have seen all along, like the flag lady always standing inside my car.

scorched in my brain...
