Need for Speed SHIFT - PS3

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Doesn't live up to expectations
This game could have been great

When I first put this game into my PS3 and started playing I was amazed. The cockpit view seemed so real and the graphics seemed amazing. That ended quickly. The more I played the game the more I realized there were many things wrong with it. The physics of vehicle collisions are nothing like they should be. The game punishes the player way too much for running off the track but yet the AI seem to drive just as good off the track as they do on it. Once the cars get faster they seem to bounce like they are using a screwed up hydraulic system. Hitting invisible walls also plague the game. This game could have been great if it would have been released a month or two later and all the bugs were worked out. Maybe they will get fixed with patches, maybe they won't, but gamers shouldn't have to wait on patches to have a playable game. I'm disappointed EA. Shame on you. You have slowly destroyed the NFS franchise. I'll stick with Burnout and wait for Gran Turismo to come out.
