Default tune is different to every car, so tune is the key to make it more controllable, i did not have any understeer oversteer problems , especially when driving AWD car its super satisfying. I honestly dont know what are you all are talking about. I only noticed bullshit handling in Shift 2

My first ever racing game, and nothing else compares to it. I may get every single gran turismo game in the future, but I will always come back to this as it holds a special place in my heart.

I quite enjoyed playing Shift when it came out new. At the time, I thought the physics were really quite good (coming from a purely arcade racer at said time). I tried replaying this about a year ago, and now that I am much more experienced in sims and simcades, the handling physics are really quite...eh, and tiresome at times. The cars feel like they simultaneously understeer and oversteer...somehow. And sometimes the Works conversion kits felt like they broke cars. (70s Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R for example). But I have to say, the attention to detail in this game, even today, is still quite spectacular. When playing on a wheel, the driver in game depresses the pedals the same way you do, the H-shifters and handbrakes are operated realistically. The sense of speed, G-force, crashes and the bumps on the track (sometimes a little too extreme, don't get me wrong) are super immersive. When driving a high downforce car at speed through dips and over bumps, the diffusers scrape the ground and spark. Cars sound like their real life counterparts. Performance upgrades influence the engine and exhaust notes. Full-spec race cars and cars with upgraded transmissions have the whine of straight-cut gearboxes. Even the tyre smoke looks absolutely fantastic while doing a burnout, wrapping around the tyres in the wheelwells and expelling out the side and rear of the guards, instead of the little pffts of measly farts Forza had at the time (for example). Graphics were extremely hi-fi for 2009, though slightly outdated now, but still holding up. But the immersion is UNREAL. My memories of Shift 2: Unleashed aren't as vivid, but I remember having the same feeling of immersion (or greater) despite the physics being wonky (at the time I played it, they may have been fixed via patches). I wish more developers would put the time into these little details in racing games. I can't speak for other people, but when I get sucked in to a racing game, like I was with Shift 1, I feel like I AM a racing driver. I feel like I WANT to compete. Even if the career progression was a little tedious. I wish Slightly Mad Studios put that immersion effort into Project CARS, because they really almost nailed the physics for a more casual simulation experience (I say "casual sim", more realistic than Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo, but not as hard core as iRacing, for example).

I still like pro street more. Didnt take itself as serious.

My most fond memory of this game was the endurance figure 8 race. Glad it mentioned in this video.

Then Shift 2 came out... and we would witness one of the most masterful game soundtracks in history. The editing was top notch and even blew the original songs away in some cases!

I should also mention that this game also has main rivals on certain competitions, each having different driving style. Some being precise (Alexi Cumia & Tomas Rudall), some methodical (Kiyo Hironaga), others being aggressive (Ron Kay & Josef Taylor), which makes you have to adapt to their driving style if you wanna beat them.

8:53 that's the M3, not the 1 series

the inside camera view made it feel like your were in vr with a motion chair shaking you about

This was my first serious simulation racer that I played exclusively through the eyes of the driver, and I still play it on both PC & my X360 to this very day, enjoying the hell out of it. To me the game aged amazingly well, and in some ways (like the Career mode) it even tops pCars games that I equally enjoy & love. This was also the game that kickstarted my passion for both car culture in general, and racing sims in particular. S2U was good, too. But something about the sequel just felt off to me - I dunno whether it was its more dramatic presentation, or smth else. And again, I really like S2U, it's just not as impactful as the original Shift to me. ProStreet holds a special place in my heart as well, but with all due respect I wouldn't call it a 'serious sim' NFS game. Thanks for yet another great NFS game series review! UPD: You know, looking at the footage from S2U I remember now how I always preferred that 'bloomey', 'hazy', 'dream-like' & overly bright look of the original compared to cleaner, more... 'crisp' visuals of the sequel. And presentation was everything to young me back then. So I guess this is why after all these years I still prefer NFS:Shift over S2U.

The Shift games were among some of my hardest Platinum trophies to mostly in part of the mastering all the corners. There were just some corners that no matter how perfectly you think you took them, the game's just like "not my tempo" and and you just have to keep trying over and over and over and over until you just get lucky.

Do more Need for Speed reviews. I love your reviews.

I am a big fan of your reviews and after I watched this I purchased this game straight away for the Xbox 360. I have played it for a little bit and I agree with everything you say in the review. It is a pretty good racing game.

1. Just discovered your channel and videos today. This is my third. 2. Before watching, this is still my favorite racing game. I was never interested in moving beyond my Xbox 360 and still play a deep library of games from the NES through 7th generation games. Shift has the options to tune the game to my skill level and preference. I am not dedicated to a 100% sim and mastering in depth skills, but I also don't want a pure arcade racer either. Shift lets me play with a great first person behind the wheel perspective with amazing sounds and feel and to race on legendary courses. I am from California originally and being able to race at Leguna Seca makes me feel like I am right back at home. 3. Now that I have watched the video: Well done. I don't care about customization of the looks of the car and always use the available options. I am not good at racing games and still have never finished it, instead finding myself messing around with quick races with the lower level cars than super cars. As you said, the perspective and experience is focused on the user, and that's why I enjoy it so much.

I still have Need for Speed Shift to this day and still think it's the best racing game ever.

I’ve had Shift since soon after it came out and I still play it, what I like the most about it is the intensity of racing in it and how unforgiving it is. The cars are loud and sound really, really good (especially the Maserati MC12 GT1), the sense of speed is surreal, the AI will happily put you off the track if given the chance, and any small mistake and it’s curtains on that lap or race with no rewind ability. My biggest gripe is the rubber band effect and the overall incompetence of the AI even on expert. They’re fast but inconsistent, and if you’re a half decent driver in an ok car you can easily win every race.

I don't comment nearly enough, but I'm so glad this channel exists

I remember the Lotus Elise in its Works Conversion build being extremely op. Godly Acceleration and Handling. Even though it lacked in the topspeed department.

God damn... looked like a unicorn shat on ya car bro (7:19) Awesome vids looking forward to the next one CS!!

Could you make a review about its successor Shift 2: Unleashed? I personally still like and play this game up till today. The helmet camera alone is something I've only seen in S2:U, giving you a pretty realistic feel like no other racing game could deliver until VR and TrackIR where integrated and became popular. Your work will be appreciated! Great vid btw!

I liked Shift a lot. It was the first title where racing in cockpit view felt natural to me. I spent hundreds of hours in the livery editor. Not being able to mirror what you’ve done on the other side of the car was such a pain in the ass. Especially since my liveries kept becoming more complex. That design oversight cost me tons of wasted hours. They added a mirror feature in Shift2 but there was another issue I can’t remember. Whatever it was it was so bad I walked away from that game. My main issue with Shift was being charged real money for extra garage slots and not being able to own multiple copies of one car. Meaning you can only own one Corvette or Lamborghini. That sucks when you like to paint cars.

Great review, as always. I'd love to see you reviewing the best NFS game ever made - Porsche Unleashed :).

Another awesome review. Great job.

Going back to Gran Turismo after trying this back when it released was like singing a lullaby to myself. It was far from perfect physics-wise, but I loved the intensity of the whole thing... The engine sounds were great (compared to GT), the added extra layer of immersion in the interior camera with all the shaking and the driver’s panting, the crashes were scary and almost stress-inducing... It was a very well-rounded package, albeit a bit rough around the edges, and a very welcome change of direction for NFS.

The Zonda vs Veyron showcase event on Nurburgring was so memorable!

Awesome video, great for a late night watch.

The intro for this game got me hyped to get into a race

Prostreet was frickin awesome. The early cars were kinda all round sluggish - but once you got upgrading and tuning the setup you unleashed some monsters. Drag racing was great, a powerful V8 might wheelie and then torque steer, meaning that few seconds in a hopefully straight line was properly demanding. They came up with several models of circuit racing, straight up first across the line, or trying to set best times in sectors. There were the awesome Speed races, flat out along sinuous roads trying to keep inch perfect. And of course the most important thing, the handling model, the best handling in any NFS game I've played, but I admit that somehow Shift passed me by. I might have to remedy that.

The Zonda sounds incredible, no other game has the gearbox whine and tyre noise with the V12 scream. Sounds incredible even if all the 4cyl cars sound the same as eachother

Very nice. Enjoying your Clips for about 6 Months now, keep up the good work, I still Demand people to come and watch you videos to get more Subs if not that then Break the 100k views on majority of videos for the first 24 hours :) Because everyting you release is just pure Entermainment to Watch and Listen.

Both Shift and Race Driver GRID have a visual car destruction models. I know you do not race to cause accidents but this happens. And in both games it was always fun with both visual and damage model to win the race (or be on podium) when car got some scratches during the race.

I use not to comment on your vids. I just stay for the nostalgia and your honest oppinion. But this time i will coment on this game.

But, but Shift 2 was even more immersive... I mean the game had it's problems, namely the "floaty handling model", still better than the first Shift though. But as far as immersion goes, Shift 2's helmet cam was the most immersive thing in a racing game I've ever seen. It even had the official GT1 and GT3 licenses with their respective cars, if only the handling was more alike Forza/Gran Turismo, Shift 2 would be the bomb. Many of it's issues were fixed through patches as well, like the input lag with a wheel. Anyway, Shift 2 is still my go to racing game on the PC since I play with an XBox 360 controller and Project Cars and Assetto Corsa are unplayable without a wheel...

There was an old picture back in the day. that NFS Shift was originally in developement by EA Black Box until SMS got the ip

Such amazing memories with this game, felt so much ahead of Carbon my previous game!

Could you do Shift 2 when you get the chance? No one’s really made a recent review of the game

After Undercover, I gave up on the series, always seeing new titles with some interest, but once the reviews came out, I knew they weren't for me. Need for Speed Heat, however, really sparked my interest. I bought it this week, and have been absolutely loving it.

Agree 110% , its a real throwback and the closest we've gotten to the holy trinity of nfs games.

NFS shift engine sounds are more better than Heat! Heat's engine sound "sounds" terrible

Please do a review on Porsche Unleashed

Great review!

this is making me want to play shift again, thanks

Huge fan of NFS: SHIFT, used to push that Pangani Zonda R at nordschleife all the time. Good times!

NFS Shift has, imo, the best sound in a racing game. Just blast it on your 7.1 Headset or Home Theater and you'll see what I mean

Generally later NFS games, from Criterion and such all had pretty good sounds, and polish.

cant wait for need for speed (2015) review

Those conversion upgrades were really cool in this game, just loved the game in general since it had really beefy audio and amazing graphics considering it was my first PS3 game. Although I did play on a composite CRT probably until 2012

the steering in this game felt really off at times but i still have fond memories of it

I love the Shift series, as they are from a few wich were drivable with a steeringwheel.

Shift was a welcome suprise for when it came out, esp if you played with a Racing wheel it was hard to beat that first person view in front of your garbage huge 1080p flat TV

Interior view made an appearance in Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2

i just booted up my PS3 and played Shift for the first time since 2015 and it was just as fun as i remember. Its such a good game. I probably last played it just before i got my first PC.Not many games now days on PC have progression, instead you just get lots of mnoey and everything else immediately from the start. Thats why also got Gran Turismo 1 on my PC.

I loved this & it's sequel from the day it launched as I pre-ordered both, fantastic & unique racing games many quickly dismiss. I think the "NFS Shift 2" is far better in handling & pretty much the best & more of everything, just not the biggest fan of it's progression system which was my only minor issue with it. Look forward to a profile on the sequel my friend!

first person mode looks really cool, the shakiness is what i really like

i have nostalgia for the psp version of shift. it was one of the first videogames i ever played. really it's burnout dominator with prostreet elements (several nitro shots per race instead of a refilling boost gauge, crashing is similar to criterion's nfs games and the first two burnout games (can't do anything, you just look until you reset), aesthetics and kings etc.)

I love the Shift series. One of the best game racing games of that era.
