All you racer fans out there, might wanna read this! If you like games that let you race hot cars at speeds so crazy you'd probably pass out in real life, you might like this game. Need for Speed: Shift, the 13th installment in the Need for Speed series, lets you do that. Need for Speed, much like Burnout, let's you race, race, and race, until you've raced your heart out. The goal? Unlock all the cars, and go as fast as you can, every race! Unlike previous Need for Speed games, you can customize your car this time. And why am I talking about N4S: Shift?
