If say, for example, you are in the very first Tier (driving cars like the Chevy Cobalt) to ease the pain there will be a couple of invitational events where you can do a single race in a Tier 3 car. The way the game is structured certainly isn’t revolutionary, but to help you through the game offers you a few invitational events as your make progress.
NFS SHIFT 2 CRASH SERIES
There are 4 Tiers of racing to go through before you enter the big NFS World Tour challenge and within each tier there are a series of events to partake in ranging from traditional racing, to time trials, drifting and head to head battles. The game follows you, a rookie racer, progressing through the ranks and a variety of different racing events with the ultimate aim of becoming the Need for Speed World Tour Champion. In principle, Shift does just that – the feel of the game is completely different to previous NFS titles – Shift is hard edged, streamlined, more focused and all the better for it.
NFS SHIFT 2 CRASH PC
With a new development team at the wheel, London’s Slightly Mad Studios, a group with vast experience with the PC racing games GTR 2 and GT Legends, the idea was simple. But now, on the back of several new IPs and the re-incarnation of Madden and FIFA, EA has turned its attention to its premier racing title, with Need for Speed: Shift. However, over the past two incarnations, the Need for Speed franchise has been flagging, with last year’s Need for Speed: Undercover being a low point for me: the game was buggy, didn’t handle very well and the very concept of big rims, a pumping soundtrack and a poor Fast and Furious aping story had grown very tired.
It’s an amazing feat that EA have managed to pull it off for so long, keeping the series fresh and firmly at the top of the Christmas sales charts. In its 15 years of existence, the series has constantly evolved from simple point-to-point racing in Lamborghinis to street racing in pimped up Mitsubishi Evos. If EA wanted to (and let’s be honest, it needed to) reinvigorate interest in its ailing Need for Speed franchise, then this is the way to do it. This is Need for Speed: Shift at its very brilliant best.
NFS SHIFT 2 CRASH FULL
I turn in to the corner, clip the apex and exit out of the other side on full opposite lock in a torrent of smoke, sweat and adrenaline.
Again, the car starts to fidget on its Michelin tires as I wrestle it to a lower speed. My sight goes all blurry as I hit 300 km/h – I take a deep breath and stamp my foot (left index finger) on the brake (L2). The car starts to squirm all over the track I have to make small corrections to the steering to keep it straight. The BMW developed V12 screams as it hits 7500 rpm, time for another gear. Snatching another gear it increases even further – well beyond 150 km/h, into 4th and up to 200 km/h and still no let up in acceleration. The speed climbs from 100 km/h to 120, then 130.
