It's going to be very arcadey so get it for the console.

I thought it looked less arcadey (but not exactly simmy) therefore a wheel would be good for it? It's more proper racing than drifting rounds streets.

IS there a demo available?

Probably will be on Live soon...im not buying it till ive had a go of the demo to see what its like...so far on the 360 the only need for speed ive actually enjoyed was Most Wanted and undercover...all the other ones that were released sucked.

Im hoping Shift doesnt suck but i have my doubts...might trade in a few games and get it.

I'll try the demo and see what its like

The game doesn't look all that arcadey more like a sim to me

I'm umming and arring over it at the moment. DiRT is providing me with all the good racing I need but think it might be quite a good warmup to Forza 3.

Looks good, but I'm saving myself for Forza 3, that's going to be my weapon of choice for racing.

Shift is presumably much like Project Gotham Racing in this iteration.

dannyjo22 · 14 Sep 2009 at 18:37

Review I read, it's lookign pretty good. Prefer the look of this over Dirt or Forza.

If thats the case then that will do me fine although i really wish they would go back to the most wanted and undercover type of games...

meant to have shocking load times but be very realistic, graphics wise anyway.

I didn't get on with forza, nothing to do with what is a fantastic game, I just couldn't get on with it

This may be more PGR'y and therefore can be more pick up and play for me

I may do that yet,though i have the pc version on order,roll on Friday.

Make sure to play in the cockpit view. They've made it very realistic with a fully working dashboard.

the game comes out on the 18th of september for both consoles so why would they release a demo after the games already out? :confused:
