After lots (seriously…lots!) of preview videos and screenshots, first gaming magazine reviews of Need for Speed Shift are coming in, giving us a better idea of what to expect.
Both IGN UK (Xbox 360 version) and IGN US (PC version) have reviewed the title, giving it very favorable scores of 8.7 and 9.0 respectively. Even though mainstream gaming sites like IGN are quick to call racing titles realistic, both reviewers seemed to be very impressed with the way Shift handles. IGN also released a short review video you can check out below.
Another very interesting review comes from Swedish Gamereactor magazine as the reviewer praises Shift to handle much like GT Legends with better tire physics, calling it more demanding than other console racers such as Gran Turismo.
