EA launched a new game in the App Store, called “Need for Speed Shift”. The game comes with 20 real licensed cars that can have both their visuals and performance upgraded.

In the visuals department you can add a body kit, change paint colors, buy ridiculously huge spoilers, and change out your wheels. If you care more about your car actually going faster than looking cool, you can upgrade its top speed, acceleration, nitrous oxide system, as well as tires and suspension. Each of these upgrades come in multiple stages and once you’ve hit a car’s limit to remain competitive in races you will need to buy new cars.

“With licensed cars, control options that should make most people happy, and a very cool yet mostly superfluous driver profile and performance tracking system, Shift is a must-have for fans of the genre.”

Description:

NEED FOR SPEED™ SHIFT TAKES IT BACK TO THE STREETS for the most visceral and aggressive simulation racing game ever seen on iPhone® and iPod touch®.
