SHIFT Demo Drops This Week
Need for Speed: SHIFTNeed for Speed: SHIFT is one of the best racers of the year but if you're still on the fence concerning a purchase, you might want to wait until Thursday.
EA has told Strategy Informer that a playable demo will hit both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on October 1, so you can decide if you'd like to add it to your holiday wish list. Five cars will be included and you can test 'em out on either the world-famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps or the London River course. Just remember; if you want to unlock the fifth car - the Pagani Zonda F - you're going to have to perform admirably on both tracks and collect enough stars. The in-cockpit view isn't for everyone and if you're thinking it's like past installments in this long-running franchise, you should know that SHIFT is more of a driving simulator. It's both realistic and intense and if you want a sample, download this bad boy in a few days and try it out for yourself. By the way, here are the five cars:
- 1. BMW M3 (E46)
- 2. 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
- 3. 2006 Lotus Elise 111R
- 4. 2008 Nissan GT-R
- 5. 2006 Pagani Zonda F (unlockable)
So if you think you've got what it takes to tackle this innovative racer, open the door and step into this pseudo-virtual racing reality. It's a total blast.

2 - The cars are certain tracks, will begin to bounce. I have had only happen once, I was driving a Mazda RX-8, on the Horse track (name escapes me).
3 - One of the issues, has been patched though. The PS3 version had a very low deformation model.
Go to NFS.com for a detailed description. There are some threads there, in which even has the devs acknowledging the issues, and stating that things are being investigated.
I don't use a steering wheel, so all I did was adjust the deadzones, and things began to feel right to me.
After that, it was just a matter of tuning each car.

for some strange reason, i seem to do better in cockpit mode than any other camera configuration.
this is by far the best driving game ive ever played, bar burnout paradise.
only thing thats dissapointed me is its difficulty is so unbalanced.
tier 1 is so easy a 5 year old could ace every track, tier 2 some of the events are impossible and some are piss easy.
its like playing the game on easy and hard at the same time.
