I hate NFS Shift series. It's too hard and the cars are impossible to control!
You gotta be kidding me NFS Shift and Shift 2 Unleashed were both Very good NFS Games, Because of the outstanding graphics and the driving physics, I Don't know why you don't like it
The driving is pretty easy for me, And NFS is way better than Grid if you wanna know.
As racing games are really great. Pros are the great graphic and the driving submersion. Bad about the physics (the cars contacts especially) and the handling, the car slippers too much. About the driving, it has something more simulative than the GRID series. However, must be said that they aren't games that deserve the name Need For Speed, because this name historically means arcade racing and police chasing games (seems that neither EA Games knows this, now).
Well anyways for me the worst game was Remember Me which came out a few months ago the game sucked even though the graphics were awesome.
Remember Me can't suck that much... It's a really valid and original game, something really fresh since lot of years. As developers' first game it's something great. Bad that has been too undervalued.
I've got a great hype for this game, because it had everything that I like from a third person action-adventure game: futuristic urban ambient, a cool female protagonist, combats and minimal use of weapons and climbing; unfortunately there isn't free roaming.
Yeah, it has a great graphic despite some low quality texture, the Unreal Engine is really valid. I've liked a lot the story, it makes think. Not good the gameplay, the combats gets boring and annoying because of the too simple controls. Good variety on the contents. It's also too much linear and helped, with those bad suggestions on where you've to go to climb the walls.
A recent game that's really bad and full of bugs it's the one for Star Trek.
