I just realized you have 514 subscribers!! The quality of this video Is amazing!! You seem like you have Over one million subscribers I subscribed keep up the good work I'm sure that you will get over one million subscribers You gonna be famous one day I'm sure of it
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I really am hoping to eventually reach that milestone and you guys are all that make thar possible so thank you so much!!
The one problem I had with this game was the unusual oversteer and WEAK steering on stock cars (without tuning). Sure a car doesnt stick to the road like a magnet but at least it doesn’t slide like butter lol
Well I'm definitely VERY late to the game on this one (no pun intended). Dusted off my Xbox 360 and just picked up a copy of NFS Shift for $5 at a local used game shop. Been curious about it since it's got my favorite track, which is Road America. In a million years, I NEVER thought I'd see it in a Need For Speed game. Blown away. The career mode is super addictive. Raking in cash is also quite easy. Just doing the Time Attacks is the easiest way to get quick money and upgrade and buy new cars. I love that when you buy ANY car, you can change the livery so it at least looks like a race car, and not just a plain boring vehicle. And the graphics are very good! Everything just looks beautiful. And as I expected, Road America looks absolutely gorgeous. Every hill and curve is perfect. And even a ton of the scenery around the track is spot on. I'm from Wisconsin and have been to many races at Road America, and am truly impressed by the attention to detail in this game. I'm not on Xbox Live and don't do online gaming of any kind, but who cares? I don't need it and this game offers me all I could want in one package. Anyway, just wanted to show some love for this epic racing game.
I remember playing this game when I was in elementary school and it was so much fun. Real racing 3 wouldn’t have been a thing if it wasn’t for this game
Need For Speed Shift | Slightly Mad Studios physics is based on "gMotor", (not ProStreet's physics) which dates back to EA F1 99-02|Challenge series, GTR, Race 07, rFactor, ... . GTR 1.0 was originally too difficult (due to excessive oversteer, to the point it was unrealistic), this was toned down in GTR 2.0, and again with Race 07 | GTR Evolution, and then again with Shift. There are 1 to 3 dominant cars for each tier, but for offline play, the dominant cars aren't needed to win events. Shift online play didn't use the tier system, but a rating system instead, 4.0, 6.0, 10.0, 14.0, unlimited. This changed the choice and setup of cars to use for online racing. Shift 1 versus Shift 2: Shift 1 drifting favors analog controllers (joystick or wheel), Shift 2 favors game pads (it will auto-steer for the player). Shift 1 has a bounce bug on ovals and Ambush Canyon, Shift 2 fixed the bounce bug. In Shift 2, the two fastest cars, Apollo and LP640, are affected by a flaw in the physics: at high speeds, the downforce shoves the body into pavement, resulting in a sudden and unpredictable high speed oversteer that can't be fixed with tuning, but there are only a few tracks that this affects. Shift 1 has a similar flaw, which affects the GTR at high speed, but without causing the oversteer bug (you hear the body scrape, but it doesn't affect the handling). Shift 2 - with all DLC enabled (no longer possible due to server shutdown, so requires a mod), there's no sense of a career mode, since multiple event types unlock at the same time during offline play, and there is no fixed order for the events. Shift 2 online play disabled all in game chat, so without being able to communicate (unless audio based communication was used), other players just seemed like bots, and the online play was never popular.
Started playing this game on the xbox 360 last year, but this year I bought the wireless racing wheel and some games. Currently I'm playing this game with the wheel and I have to say that it's really awesome with it. Even after 14 years I still recommend it
Dang... I just got this nfs shift and shift 2 unleashed for 9.99 dollars few month ago.... Love the 1st shift... Dont like much the shift 2 unleashed..
I loved this game and I love the small objectives they gave you with stars and especially perfecting corners. I’m pretty sure I had every corner mastered on every track when I olayed
I went back to NFS Shift on my PS3 after a couple years of it being in the back of my memory and I most of the cars that I love today were the cars I had in my garage that I’d completely forgotten about, the Hakosuka Nissan skyline was my favourite ever and it still is lol. I’ll definitely continue the game now.
It's a bit late but I think the NFS Shift feel is what current simcade games lack identity: especially camera shake and exaggerated sounds. No game makes me feel as Shift 2 did.
I would love a new nfs shift although its highly unlikely due to ea getting rid of online play for both nfs shift and shift 2, the saddest part is you cant legally get shift anymore you have to get a cracked version since the game has been removed from online stores
Imo, the game could've been improved if the stars required to unlock NFS Live World Tour (final tier) is at around 500-600 stars, therefore, the game makes you have to complete most of the competitions in all tiers (well, I'm usually a 100% completionist). And also, those exclusive liveries by the main rivals should've been allowed to us. I mean, they look cool and all, but we can never use them.
Let me ask u something. Do u prefer this one over the shift 2? I really enjoyed tge helmet cam on it, but some people says the first game had better physics (I only played the second)
Bro, what is the deal with your copy of prostreet? You mentioned you have it on Origin, but for some reason it won't play. I own a physical disk copy, but it pretty much refuses to launch on both my Alienware and on my desktop. I had to download a no DVD executable, and fix the dll file so that I wouldn't encounter the notorious 'continue' button bug.
Ayo, i cant find this game on xbox 360 store, i bought it years ago, i have plenty of archievements and now i cant download it back, disc is the only way to play it on xbox 360 ?
sos can anyone tell me if this is bacwards compatible on xbox series x. its my fav oldtime racer and i just keep getting issue code 0x87e10024 and i so want to play this game again. Please any help advice.
@@martinsrensen1519 I agree. The handling of cars in shift 2 is terrible. I literally have to lower all my settings to easy because I can't play on normal and I get super frustrated 😂
I found this game on a shelf yesterday when my parents were cleaning out our old rec room. Completely forgot about it, and have no memory of ever playing it.. obviously I found this game pretty forgettable..
i remember playing this when i was 6 yrs old now i’m 17 how the time flies
I'm almost 40 you have no idea. Almost twenty years ago was yesterday.
I'm also 17 rn it was the first game I got on my ps3
Same
Same here bro
Exact same situation
It's feel good to see that old need for speed titles still getting some love, btw nice review with good quality
Thank you!!
This is one of the games that made going fast feel like it’s gonna cost you more than your arm and leg if you made a single mistake.
This is the game that got me into sim racing.
I just realized you have 514 subscribers!!
The quality of this video Is amazing!!

Over one million subscribers

@@Gamelight7I think your krap 👍
Sim racing with arcade elements.. amazing combo
NFS Shift is one of few games that correctly portrays nitrous
Tbh would love a new NFS shift type of game
I think bringing back the Need for Speed Shift brand would be good especially for people who don't have a PlayStation who can't play Gran Turismo
@@thetreverpitts project cars seems like a good alternative which is available on every platform
would prob do good since people strangely want a realistic nfs
Me2. Driveclub was my favorite racing game ever and it always felt like NFS Shift. Shift was amazing aswell
There's Project Cars 3
I LOVED THIS GAME. IT WAS PERFECT. I HOPE THEY MAKE ANOTHER RENDITION FOR NEW CONSOLES.
I loved this game so much, Forza Motorsport just doesn’t feel the same to me
Awwww. Nostalgiaaa babyyyy
I remember grinding this game till the the Bugatti to then realize it was undriveble and I kept crashing, absolutely amazing memories😢
The Bugatti was horrible to handle in shift 2😂 it would veer off 247
The one problem I had with this game was the unusual oversteer and WEAK steering on stock cars (without tuning). Sure a car doesnt stick to the road like a magnet but at least it doesn’t slide like butter lol
Exactly
The sense of speed and cockpit view is what made this game so good in my opinion. 💯 hella underrated
Sound effects and engine sounds too, way better than any forza game. Even underground 1& 2 have amazing engine sounds.
@@NewDesignVinylGraphics I totally agree 💯 need for speed shift, underground 2 the cars sound amazing

Didn’t pre order but me and my brother did rent it from blockbuster for 2 months hahaha
great review video! Id be excited to see some on shift 2, that game was really cool too
I second this. Shift 2 soundtracks were the best thing ever!
Experiencing this game for the first time on a wheel/car seat set up was insane
I rember I was 4-5 and watching my dad play it now I’m 15 and I still have the disc lmfao

wait are the enemy names random?? because there was a clay jensen in this video at one point

Best racing game ever...good combo of reality/arcade. Can we play this on xbox x-series console???
You can play on xbox 360.
I feel like how well Hot Pursuit was ported to the Switch, they should do it again with this game in my opinion.
I love this NFS and Shift 2 not bad, but it's not cool we never see shift 3. (thanks EA)
Well, Project CARS 3 is kinda Shift 3
@@SN13K3R do NOT say that. PC3 is hot shit.

Can you get it on Xbox one? I know you Can get alot of other Racing games from the 360/ps3 gen on there. Love the review btw so i subbed❤
This was the first game I got when I first got my PSP. Good times.
Bruh I was like 8 now I’m 20 this shit was so good and it still looks banging what a game

They should remaster these games
You really needed to be patient with this game, it takes some time to get adjusted especially if you come from arcade racers.
Damn this game was so good back In the day. I was addicted
I remember this game was one of the first with first person view and shit just blew my mind
Nfs Shift is in my Opinion the best Racing game.
I think my favorite is carbon
I would play this game over cod sometimes whenever I got real bored of cod
Can't buy it anywhere. EA took it off the marketplace. Good luck finding a physical copy
Steamunlocked with some sort of VPN that will get you 10GB free. It's the only way left, unfortunately.
