MUST HAVE THIS GAME!!!....Wow...did the cops bust you?

wow can finnally agree with joe for once,when he said that most wanted was the best nfs game! :D

WOW! I want one of those wheel peripherals. Good review Joe!

Joe's car cheapens my manhood. I'm sad now. :(

Hahaha. But im sure you have more cash than me because your not dumping it into insurance, and maintenance. Your doing better than I.

It'd be a 8/10 for me. I wasn't a huge fan of the stories in NFS anyways. BTW, review Forza 3. you keep referencing it.

My brain just exploded. Have to go get this game. What sucks is I have only 1 gamestop near me for like 200 miles and they run out of everything. Dammit!!!!! I love your car BTW sweet bitch that it is I am sure.

Must get wheel!!!
MUST GET GAME!!!

In all seriousness though I am pretty interested in this game, I wasn't really into the Need for Speed games until most wanted came but this one looks like serious fun.

What the hell is going on with the no story mode fad in games now? first king of Fighters and now NFS Shift. This game would of had a great storyline, You've been challenged by a rival racer who is superior in the racing leagues and you must strengthen up your racing skills to beat him and while doing so you have to race against others who consider you a noob...OK that sucked but you get when I mean (I think) This should of had a story like the rest of the Need for Speed games. By the way that is a sweet ride Joe.

lol joe said libary

Good review but I never liked Most Wanted. I just enjoyed racing and felt that running from the cops was just a waste. :dry:

wow a 3000gt... so...so ENVIOUS! and in red! jeezz your insurance must be threw the roof!

It Tis.
Sickening how much I pay a month :X

I wouldn't have even considered picking up this game until I saw this. Worth a
rental to see if it'll be worth keeping. Nice.

Bonus Points for using the classic Fallout loading screen.

I've got the wheel, but not sure if I'll get the game.

Don't get me wrong, I like racing games, but that's just it: I like them. I don't love them, or hafta have them, I like them. I'm probably gonna rent this, especially if you gave it such a good rate, but the only racing game I own is... you guessed it... the original Need For Speed: Most Wanted. ;)

So, thanks for the info, A.J., I'll check it out.

the game is awesome but it wasn't hard for me to be an aggression driver.

i always pictured joe being a person that drives a white ford escort... :lol:

Loved the review, it was very honest (that's the only way I can describe it). You do realize, though, that you never actually said the name of that wheel? How are we supposed to know which one to get? :P

Also, while the review was good and the video funny as always...really Joe? "Lie-berry?" That's how you pronounce it? *sigh*

"Library"

Pawn! Everyone knows that those places only contain LIES and ...Berries..for snacking as you read your LIES!

WAKE UP!

wow is that the 99 VR4 or SL or GTO .....?
I'VE GOT THE 91 vr4 and its freaking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.....!

but suckS that EA didn't put this beauty in the game......(Y R U RACING A CIVIC WIH A 3000GT?)

and WTF happened to the supra, ITS NOT IN THE GAME!
and about the boring part of the game.... its seems that as nfs has been evolving in graphics its been losing things the were important, at least for me, like the replays in most wanted....there werent any.... it seems that if EA does something great they take of something that the gamers had liked in the prebious games... in nfs 2 they even had movies from the manufacters of each car....

1999 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR All-Wheel Drive All-Wheel Steering. :cheer:

lol great video

Hehe... Libary... Texans and there libaries and there Naruta's.

Don't hurt me. o_o

Not really a fan of racing games, but this one really interests me. Not buying it, but would consider trying it. And that's saying something when it comes to me and racing games.

The only problem is you would need to pay $160 to get started with racing games. But after you get the wheel its literally like you have an arcade in your living room. A welcome break from FPS's and RPG's every once in awhile.

Also Dirt 2 is Amazing.

I find the wheel to be garbage, harder to stay in a straight line and it's not 900 degrees. Also no shifter is a big minus. It's still priced well compared to most wheels. You're gonna go back to the controller unless you got the patience to learn how to use it.

Joe!!! what about the bouncing bug ? when you are in a certain event the car starts to bouce by itself in a straight that bad fot you cant controll the car her4e is an example Pagani Zonda F at Road America beside that bug is a good game for me the best NFS games are 2,Porche,underground,most wanted,pro street(a bit too easy even on the king difficulty),and shift

Haven't seen that one. Now I want to try it out. Think of it as an extra challenge, winning a race with a bouncy car! :woohoo:

Joe is one of the coolest guys in the world! He's videos is freaking AWESOME! let's name him Awesome Joe!

nah, Joe takes everyone's girls

I definitely felt that this was something that's worthwhile as a "Gran Turismo/Forza"-lite game where you've got the realism of the 2 games with the aggression and attitude of the NFS series. Definitely enjoyed Most Wanted, but when they did everything else after that, it was just...."Meh" for me.

When I did a checkout for the game, I was actually more of an aggressive drive than a precision one. It seemed like, at least for me, I HAD to be aggressive instead of precise, but I guess it's because of my driving style for the game.

Either way, gotta second the motion of your rating that it's something for the racers out there that are into all kinds instead of just "underground" all the time.

Best racing games on the market

1-Grand Tursimo
2-Forza

4-Need for Speed: Shift

That I've Played Recently:

1- Most Wanted
2- Dirt 2
3- Shift
4- Forza 3
5- Midnight Club: LA
6- PGR

Nice one. But its not up to me, Judges?
....7.0....6.0.....5.0....8.0 Awwww sorry not going to cut it if you want on the podium!

1. You watched it all the way through. You were Entertained. I'm admittedly not a very funny guy. BUT LOOK OVER HERE! WAHTS THAT!? *Jiggles car eyes in front of your face* Weeeeeeee!
2. GTA isnt a detailed Racer.
3. Breaking the Law is Cool, but Expensive.
4. It smells like Dawn, because I do something called washing my clothes. Please look into it.

JOE IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM TALKING TO YOU BATMANN

"The Mitsubishi 3000GT, when you can't afford a Supra, NSX, Rx7 or 300zx"

:huh:
Or you Love underdogs and want a Body thats Sexier that all of those cars combined.

Granted all of those are more reliable. Just make sure your willing to work on your car often if you own a 3SX.

I dont like driving what everyone else does.

The 3000GT blows... unless it's a VR-4. The VR-4 pnws, but they are a rarity. Especially a 99. You should be pretty proud Joe. Although, if it wasn't a VR-4, you may as well be driving an Avenger lol

All this car talk is maing me miss my old 300 ZX Twin Turbo. Now I drive a Neon :(

@LegendaryBadass: I drive an '04 Sebring. Shut the hell up. Damn troll.

thats one of your best video. I really like the nfs most wanted storyline bit and you face fingerman not much makes me laugh but that did

I'm interested. Which is a first time for a racing game. I started downloading the demo before this vid was even over.

i heard that playing online might crash the game

No.

That's your car? Sweeeeeeeeet. To be honest i didn't think much of the game, if i wanted a game where you stay to a track and race proffessionally i'd have gotten gran turismo. I enjoyed racing for pink slips and getting all the bitches. :D

Personally I'm really glad they did away with the retarded "Fast and Furious" nonsense that was maybe relevant a decade ago.

Joe, you could get yourself a 98-02 Trans Am WS6.

Stupid fast, world class handling, Sexy and fearsome, easy to fix and maintain. Oh and did I mention insurance that's not as expensive?

Though you are still a bastard with your 3000GT. I'd rather have the Stealth RT myself, (It's lighter) but looks wise the those two cars are out of this world.

And DEAD ON with the wheel comment. Playing even with the old GT Driving Force mark 1 in GT4 vs controller, gimme my wheel any day. I wish I had enough money right now to get a wheel for Forza 2 (yes I'll probably get Forza 3.. I'm done with Sony with their lazyness in GT)

I don't mind that Shift has no story, actually I found Most Wanted to be a joke of the Need for Speed series, and then Carbon was a turd ontop of a Turd. Meh gameplay with no sense of speed, a story that I wish hadn't been there at all, and alot of crappy and ugly cars. The last of the good NFS Imo was Underground (The first one not the second).

With High Stakes still being the best out of all of them. I'll give Shift a shot though thanks to this review.
