Or pressing "QUIT" if you scroll all the way down.

I, personally, like the game. The cars don't feel light at all to me. The sense of speed is mind blistering, and the vibration adds a sense of urgency to the game in general.

It passes in my book.

I have the full game, and it owns (with a G25). The clutch has got a fake feeling to it though, that's the only let down..

Apparently one of the settings is screwed (a bug) - you will have to google because I've forget, but you need to 'Tune' and set the slider all the way to oversteer or understeer (not sure which one) your car will then feel much improved.

My large gripe is with the keyboard controls, drifting is almost made impossible by the fact you are supposed to feather and accelerate slowly, unfortunately my arrow keys do not allow me to accelerate slowly, only - no power or omg full throttle which usually means I end up in a barrier

Graphics are good, but getting quickly bored mostly because I suck at drifting.

Awful experience, I will never buy the game.
Does this mean they're pulling off another Pro Street?

Downloading now....I REALLY hope this isn't going to disappoint me, or else I won't even try the next title in the franchise. Since NFS Porsche (it's the first title I got to play) I was always excited when a new game was released but ProStreet and Undercover were a real letdown so if Shift disappoints me than that's it. I'm done wasting my time with crap like this.
