And I trusted you enough( even though you're a Browns fan) to throw the cash down on this one. Between this, NHL 10, Madden 10...and NBA live in about a week....I think I am set for awhile.

By the way Scott....love the new avatar bro...makes laugh every time I see it.

Can you play two players against each other on the same console earn points for both people to unlock stuff or get new cars?

For those of you still on the fence, just go out and pick the game up. There are a ton of career races and the game is flat out fun. I've played a lot of racing games where it felt like a chore to progress through it, but that definitely isn't the case with Shift. It's This the best racer I've played in a long time.

My only real knock on it is that the online options are pretty limited. You can't even see what your opponent is driving until your actually in the race. Not really sure why they did that.

No.

I'm a little surprised I haven't seen someone's friendlist message say "Need For Speed SHIFT Taking a Dump" with how detailed that message gets. I saw one saying someone just had a big crash...does it really update that quickly?

I really don't have any desire to get this one, but I just found that amusing.

Fun game, glad I picked it up. Forza 2 was boring to me, and the Gran Turismo games are too much work. I like racing games with a bit of arcade to them; the sim racers are too dang hard and not much fun.

I beat it yesterday, only on driver level 20 though. Now that the Forza 3 demo is out, want to see whether I'm trading in Shift, or keeping it. Since I beat Shift so quickly, I know I can get a good amount to sell it. But, I love it, and would love some new cars/tracks in DLC. Nothing has wowed me yet about Forza 3, so giving the demo a spin later tonight will tell me more.

Same here. Thanks for this. I'll be waiting on Forza 3 and trying that demo tonight!

I can't stop playing this game. I just finished a 30 lap endurance race and while my fingers are a little tired (not using wheel) I had a blast.

Something about gathering stars and car battles that really do it for me. This game is just down right fun for me. So much that I really haven't even delved into ODST since buying it because I'm spending most of my gaming time trying to get to tier 4 in this game. Only 13 more stars left!
