Manufacturer's Description
Need for Speed SHIFT is an all-new simulation racing IP that combines the true driver’s experience with real-world physics, pixel-perfect car models, and a wide range of authentic race tracks. Need for Speed SHIFT takes players in a different direction to create a simulation experience that replicates the true feeling of driving high-end performance cars. Players are thrust into the loud, visceral, intense, athletic experience of racing a car on the edge of control from the driver’s perspective through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the brutal experience of a first person crash dynamic. Need for Speed SHIFT features an accurate, accessible physics-based driving model that allows you to feel every impact, every change of track surface and every last bit of grip as you push yourself to the edge.
Need for Speed SHIFT is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios in collaboration with Black Box and senior vice president Patrick Soderlund at EA Games Europe. Slightly Mad Studios includes developers and designers that worked on the critically acclaimed games GT Legends and GTR 2.

- True Driver's Experience - A variety of visual cues delivers the true driver's experience including a three-dimensional HUD that mimics driver head movement, inertia and G-forces. The depth of field also adjusts based on the speed of the car
- So when the car is travelling at high speeds the perspective will shift to the distance putting the car/cockpit out of focus
- Enhanced AI - A sophisticated AI system will mean that your races are more exciting than ever before. AI opponents will react and perform based on the player's aggression and overall driving skill thus creating race experiences for all skill sets
- Dynamic Crash Effect - When the player hits a static object or opponent car, the player will feel like they are 'ta

The game play is superb, the cars are great fun and the soundtrack is excellent. I've played Turismo, Ridge Racer, F1, Motorstorm, Cars, Wipeout, Midnight Club, Burnout, Driver 76, Nascar, Sega Rally, TOCA, Dirt 2, Test Drive, Asphalt Urban, Fast & Furious and the previous NFS games but this for me is the best racer for the PSP, I love this game.

This game bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Xbox 360 and Ps3 games of the same name. There is no circuit racing at all (although the menu system is very much like a simplified Pro-street). the game is very much inner city racing and still implements the same features as earlier nfs games eg. speed camera races, checkpoint, sprints and races against a rival at the end of each series. what it does feature at it's core is a solid racing experience with nice tap the ebrake drifty handling although very arcadey (think Juiced meets Midnight club). Theres no car selection or tuning this time as cars and tuning options are automatically obtained and installed as you progress, which might dissapoint some. Visuals are fine for the PSP, although car models are a little simplified. If you like arcade racing and want another mindless (old school) NfS fix this won't dissapoint, Just dont expect anything like Shift.

Unlike many previous NFS games, "SHIFT" has certain aspects which make it both fun to play, sometimes challenging, and something that someone could play for hours on end without getting too bored. There are many exciting cars to drive in SHIFT, including the Koenigsegg CCX, the Lanborghini Murcielago, and Gallardo, the Audi R8, Shelby GT500, the Bugatti Veyron and the BMW M3 GT2. Each has its own characteristic making it better or just different to other cars on the game, adding a more enjoyable effect as you try to unlock these high class cars. Many previous NFS games, such as CARBON and Most Wanted, customisation of your own cars went further than it should and even the ride height could be changed to whatever height you wanted and the windows could be tinted to whatever colour you liked. SHIFT is more different though allowing cars only to be customised once a certain number of races have been completed however it does not allow you too change the engine capacity for example once the tuning modification has been unlocked. One thing it does allow you to change though is the body kit. Once this modification has been unlocked, you are shown an image of the kit design and can choose whether to have it or not just by pressing the square button. All in all, Shift is certainly one of the best games to be featured on the PSP, I think maybe even on par with the famous Gran Tourismo.

Graphics not very good
Compared to playing it on XBOX, the graphics are not very good.
The quality is low, however, I still enjoy playing it.

Need For Speed: Shift
The crashes were good, the races were hard to win and there were some good cars competing.
The graphics could have been sharper.

Unimpressive
This game is quite unlike the previous in the series. It involves only racing through the cordoned-off streets of a few major cities. And several problems. Read more
