Ive always been a big fan of the Need for Speed franchise. I started playing it back in 1995 when they first introduced "Road & Track presents The Need for Speed". Since then they have come a long ways! The only one I really didn't care so much for had to be, "Prostreet". It was lacking a lot in that game. When "Underground" was introduced to the franchise I was honestly like...this is one of the funnest racing games I have ever played! I really love the racing aspect of the game but I also really enjoy customizing the cars (I own a 06 mustang gt so it gives me a glimpse of stuff I can actually do). I can say that by the videos of Shift that Ive seen, I'm really impressed. The cockpit view is amazing (Gran Turismo quality)! I hope the car handling is as good as the looks!
