Name a series more diverse than Need For Speed. From open country blasts in exotics to the dingy streets of Underground, Need For Speed has time and time again challenged what exactly those 3 words mean. 2009 Introduced likely the most dramatic reshuffling of that this series could mean with the introduction of the Shift series. Shift focused entirely on motorsports, and exentuating that side of car culture. 15 Years later, how has Need For Speed Shift aged, and... were these games actually any good? In this retrospective, I dive deep to answer these very questions.
