It’s amazing, and definitely hard to put down (I timed out on a match! 30 mins is the limit, that was with ~350 resets…). Wish the hard/extreme levels weren’t so hard (or didn’t have achievements attached to them), and all the achievements were realistically possible, but great nonetheless.

I’d just like to point out the original is in fact *NOT* built in flash at all but is rather one of the few instances of a good Java game.

That would suck, because Shift is an NFS game I’m actually looking forward to playing. I can’t remember the last time I felt this excited about the franchise! I haven’t played it yet but it seems to me that it might be returning a little bit to its roots, with track-based racing and some exotic cars, but most of all, no city-roaming Not like NFS Hot Pursuit 2, which is my favorite, but hopefully a step in the right direction! Don’t ruin it for me!

Thatâ€™s insane! Early on, sure. But once you get into the hard courses, thereâ€™s no way.

You’re right about that, if I do dedicate myself to a course I need to find at least 2 hours in the day for even the slightest chance of finishing the level. It’s crazy but you definitely get your money’s worth!

Coming from the old Flash version to this will blow you away, just as it did me.

I did notice, actually. But I suspect that will change soon when I publish a review for NFS: Shift.

Trine is looking pretty great, and we should be seeing it very soon. Apparently, it’s being released in the UK this week, which hopefully means next week for NA.

I made the commitment with one of my pals to not use any retries

That’s insane! Early on, sure. But once you get into the hard courses, there’s no way.

Shadow Complex got kicked to the curb when Batman: Arkham Asylum came out and I just recently got back into it. Finished off the story, but still have lots to collect. Finding it a bit tedious at this point and not sure I’ll ever reach 100%, but it’s definitely a top notch game and I’ll be reviewing it soon. Just have to spend a bit of time with the challenges first.

I heard the title of this game thrown around a bit around it’s launch, but didn’t bother reading up on it whatsoever. I didn’t even realize it was a motorcycle game, much less one I had played before in flash form and loved. Saw just the image on your review here and instant reaction was “holy shit must buy this now!”. It’s downloading right now, can’t wait for it to finish.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but you’re being awfully nice in your reviews as of late. That hurts my wallet! Although, I can definitely understand why you gave this small masterpiece of a game 5 stars.
