On the main screen in NFS Shift there is no exit menu item. I had to use task manager to shut it down. The demo also installs Nvida PhysX Properties applet when I already have Aegia PhysX installed and have an ATI card. WTF is wrong with EA? *----------------------------------------------------------------------* "A good neighbor is one who stays on their side of the FUCKING fence." *----------------------------------------------------------------------*

The menu is scrolled, press the down arrow and you'll see quit. The same menu system is used throughout the game, so you'll need to use down arrow to see all menu options, such as quitting a race.

I quit the race just by pressing pause and I see the option to quit the race. I doubt I will buy the game though anyway as I already wasted moeny on Grid and don't want to make the same mistake again. Pysics do feel better than Grid burt the rest of the game is similar. *----------------------------------------------------------------------* "A good neighbor is one who stays on their side of the FUCKING fence." *----------------------------------------------------------------------*

As suspected, a silly console game with fonts large enough to be readable crouching on the sofa...

But I soon realised it was worth the effort. Whether Shift is on the same level as RBR and worth the effort or not, I continue to have a great time with this game/sim hybrid. And there's some promising work being done to try and get the best out of this software. There's some serious sim code buried in there, honest! :-) Andrew McP
