NEED FOR SPEED(nfs) SHIFT FREE DOWNLOAD PC GAME

ABOUT THIS GAME:-

Fall 2009 was supposed to be the next golden age of the racing game, with the genre's two heavy hitters – Forza Motorsport 3 and Gran Turismo 5 – scheduled for release. While Xbox 360 owners were rewarded with an incredibly good Forza 3, several delays of GT5 wrecked the plans of many a Playstation 3 owner, this writer included. 

But since we were hell-bent on a new racing game, the decision was made to take a chance on another new racing game that was receiving some good press: Need for Speed Shift. We've spent the last two months playing Shift on PS3 to keep ourselves busy until GT5 is finally released. Were we disappointed or pleasantly surprised with the dark horse of the racing game pack? Hit the jump to find out.

The Need for Speed franchise has gone from pretty good to bad over the past few years, but the folks over at EA Sports went to Slightly Mad Studios to create this latest edition of NFS from the ground up. The goal of Shift was to create a much more realistic driving experience for gamers with 15 real-world courses ranging from Laguna Seca to the Nordschleife and over 70 vehicles available for purchase. Did EA Sports hit its lofty target? We think so.

The key to Shift's success is its realistic driving characteristics. Gone is the arcadishness of past NFS titles, replaced by a much more realistic driving simulator that makes the gamer feel like he or she is really behind the wheel of cars that are out of their price range. Hit the accelerator and you're greeted with clever depth-of-field effects that blur the screen to simulate high speeds and g-force. When a crash happens, debris goes all over the track and the driver begins to breath heavily while the screen goes blurry and black and white. And the sounds. You can hear the realistic whistle of the supercharger under the hood of the Mustang GT500. The V10 powering the Viper sounds like it wants to eat you alive. But great driving simulation and realistic sounds only go so far, so Shift also strives to keep you motivated with interesting game play.

The goal of Shift is to win the NFS World Tour, but to get there you must first collect enough stars in your career to become eligible for the world stage. There are four tiers that proceed the NFS World Tour, with enough challenges to keep your attention for a very long time. When you begin to race you'll be given the choice of easy, medium or hard game play. Trust us when we tell you that easy just isn't challenging enough; you can pass the competition like it's stuck in Park. Even if you're new to racing simulators, medium is the place to start. 

Gamers also have a choice of using a view from the front end, a front end view with the hood showing, a cockpit view and a rear view that shows the entire car. We find the cockpit view is best unless we're drifting when the view of the entire car seems to help. Once you get accustomed to the driving style of Shift, we suggest you challenge yourself by increasing the level to hard. This is the best way to prepare yourself for online gaming with other flesh and blood drivers.

Your career starts off with a free BMW 135i that is loaned out to you for one race. At first we had a hell of a time trying to keep the Bimmer on the road, but with a little practice we were able to get the hang of it. From there you're given $27,000 (if you win) to purchase your own vehicle that you will use in Tier One competition. We spent all of our money on a Mazda RX8. 

Up to six stars can be earned in each event, with the first three stars going to podium finishers (first place receives all three stars) and other stars are earned by hitting points targets. Some races also feature star awards for reaching goals like a clean lap or hitting 75% of the racing line over the course of the race. 

While stars are collected to reach the NFS World Tour, points are collected to increase driver level. Rankings go from one to 50, with 10,000 points separating each level. Points are earned in two categories: aggressive driving and precision. Precision points can be collected when drivers are able to accomplish tasks like mastering a tough corner, staying on the racing line and driving without incident or misstep over the duration of an entire sector. Aggressive driving points are awarded when the driver trades paint with another racer, hits another car while passing (dirty overtake) and spinning out another driver. Points are also awarded for drafting an opponent and drifting corners. If you hit enough points opportunities you will enter X2 mode, which will briefly double every point you earn. The more points you string up in X2 mode the longer you stay in X2 mode, too, so there is no better time to smash into the guy in front of you.

Speaking of crashes and aggressive driving, we were a little put off by the developer's decision to so richly reward the reckless driver. In real world racing, smashing into other drivers is rarely a good thing, costing big money and risking lives. This is one area where Shift steel feels a bit too arcade-like, keeping this still excellent game a slight step behind more realistic games like the Forza and GT series.

Hey Guys don't give up the game & hope most of you are annoyed when getting stars,
so cheers here comes the tricky part.....just if anyone stuck in the middle of 
tier 3 or so...just try to get stars in an easy manner like this....just stay on
the green arrow icon and also if there is anything mention on the screen like speed
120 or whatever try to do the same while you keeping your car on the arrows...but 
i prefer to get those points such as 120 pts etc then again you can re race it and 
get the speed point like wise you can go to tier 4 very easily. 
For me it worked and hope you gonna rock like me...just chill.

In "career" mode, when u r modifying your car, dont always follow the stat bars. 
When installing any part always look at the performance stats (e.g. 0-100,top speed,etc.)
NOTE: Some times on installing body kits, the bars increase but the performance stats 
reduce. Also,install any weight reduction part only when u r sure about its effects.
(Some car's handlings are badly affected).
Follow my advice and HAVE FUNNNN!!!!
