You’ll also get to experience a temporary vision blur after the crash. You get to hear the typical high speed collision sounds when your car crashes. Then there’s also a sound of heartbeat and a sound of gasp of breath before impact.

If you like to talk more about the realistic effects of Shift, then you should know where the action will take place. You can race on 15 existing and certified racetracks that look very similar to its real-world counterpart. There are also new racetracks created especially for Shift. Then there are street circuits. These are all the available types of circuits you can race on Shift, meaning that there are no longer open-road races which also means that there are no longer any police cars that will chase you during races.
Street circuits are very impressive on Shift. One of the best street circuits you’ll see in this game is the London Circuit. The locations on the game are really recognizable for people who have been to London. One of the main difference of Shift compared to other racing games, is that the focus of the game is more on your driving experience rather than collecting a numerous cars. Shift offers 70 different cars including Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Porsche 997 GT 2, Shelby Terlingua and Audi RS4. These 70 cars include different types such as hatches, exotic imports and classics. All cars look visually stunning and look real. You might also get to damage your cars with the damage modeling feature, which affects your car’s appearance and performance if you bump into obstacles many times. The environment also looks realistic in this game, complete with race marshals, LCD screens and animated crowds that can surely emulate the race-day atmosphere.
