… it gets a 9/10.
IGN US has run the world’s first review of Need For Speed: Shift, calling the game “a glorious return to greatness”, before plonking a big 9.0 down as the score. High praise indeed. Here’s a snippet:
“Slightly Mad Studios has delivered a driving experience that, while not completely accurate in terms of its simulation aspects, is practically dead-on in terms of what it’s like to race around some of the world’s best racing circuits.”

IGN UK later followed it up with their own review, awarding the game an 8.7 and saying that “driving is an exceptionally visceral experience, with a sensation of sheer velocity that’s unparalleled in the genre.” Nice.
We’re still waiting for the general embargo to lift until we can post our five page review, but it will be featured in next month’s issue of P3Zine, out next Thursday, 17th September. You’ll probably want to give it a read…
