Need for Speed (NFS) is a racing game franchise published by Electronic Arts and currently developed by Criterion Games (the developers of the Burnout series). [1] Most entries in the series are generally arcade racing games centered around illegal street racing, and tasks players to complete various types of races, while evading the local law enforcement in police pursuits.
The game runs on a modified engine used for High Stakes on PC and was originally produced as Need for Speed: Motor City, but was disassociated from the Need for Speed name after being stripped from its single player campaign and turned into a MMO, online-only experience. [102]
Those who pre-ordered the game received a PC Digital download for one of five past Need for Speed titles (Hot Pursuit, Shift 2: Unleashed, Shift, Undercover and Prostreet). The Need for Speed The Run Carbon Challenge Series was also included as a pre-order bonus. This offer was only available until November 14, 2011.
The Wii version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has very little in common with its Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows counterparts.

So to not confuse the consumer – don't take me wrong, Shift 2: Unleashed is still a Need for Speed game inside the Need for Speed family, but that family has different legs. Hot Pursuit fits the action games; Shift 2 is sim-like." [34] EA wanted to establish Shift as a new franchise when Shift 2: Unleashed was released in March.
The soundtrack of Shift remains similar to that of Need for Speed: ProStreet, featuring a scored soundtrack rather than a general track list [10] as is seen in previous titles such as Need for Speed: Most Wanted, and Need for Speed: Carbon. [11] In addition to the standard edition, a "Special Edition" of the game was released exclusive to Europe.
