I will be waiting until a demo comes out.

I was looking forward to this but after the recent gameplay video on 'The ring' it doesn't look that great, Shift is supposed to be a simulator but with its current build (im assuming its not the final build) it looks far from it.

Looks like Grid tbh, which was only mildly fun with the steering wheel.

i WAS interested in this when we hd the rumors we were getting PGR5 instead of forza 3. truthfull ill take forza with more events/cars

Could be intrestin and im sure it is devlopers who made gtr2 and gt legends working on game, but that said maybe a bit aracdy, will see when demo comes out.

EA = Arcade-y. plain and simple.

Arcadey doesn't always equal bad though. I'd be inclined to say that I'll give it a look as a suppliment to my Forza-ing rather than a replacement or viable competition.

it could replace grid. which gets boing after you beat it

autopolis is a badass track, let's hope they do it right.

won't touch it with a barge pole.

at least try the demo, its free and may be fun

Cynical...

Here is IGN's review:

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/102/1023315p1.html

I like the sound of how the game rates what kind of driver you are. Nice touch. And at least IGN gave it a pretty good review, I'm still gonna wait for a demo though. When does it come out?

Demo should be out the same day as FM3 demo. Loadsa videos on youtube now of gameplay, might pick it up sometime next year, although DIRT 2 might just have priority over it...

my dirt two shud be here sumtime this week

Looks good will try to get for xmas. I love that they put a lot of my favorite make of car... Porsche! lol You gotta admit those RSR's look beast

I am renting Shift out first, to see if I should buy it or not.

im waiting for my bank to show my funds

I probably will rent first too, but if it has night racing......

I tell ya what, Tommy Milner's interveiw on RLM right now is definetaly making Shift seem pretty good... Demo next week with Spa. So look out for that.

ill play the demo 1st

I have rented out NFS: Shift and so far, it does not look like I will be buying the game. Once my rental period is up.

It's actually pretty good.
Think a mixture of Grid and PGR but with better sound.
It is quite addictive yet not without its flaws. Will be good for some light relief from FM3
