Need for Speed: Shift PC Demo Available

Usually, demos and these days even the full retail versions, make an appearance first on the consoles while the neglected elder brother PC has to wait for months to have a go. So, when Eletronic Arts dropped message that they have released the PC demo for its fantastic racer Need for Speed: Shift ahead of its console counterparts, we went ‘Whaa…?” with shock more than surprise. Such blasphemy! How dare thee?

Alright, alright. Let’s get on with it. The demo will have players race on the world-famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the gorgeous city circuit of London River using one of the four available cars. What’s more, if you manage to rack up enough stars, you will be able to unlock the “ultimate racing machine” that is the Pagani Zonda F.

Jump into the cockpit of one of these five cars and find out why Need for Speed SHIFT is the highest rated Need for Speed game in years.
